Hmmm…Wonder if latigo tan leather laces would look good in my veg tan Jobmasters...

I'm currently on my second pair of Jobmasters. Also, just ordered these bad boys earlier tonight:

+Double Midsoles
+Pull Straps
+Buckled Instep Straps

Wesco had all of their black fire leather backordered so I changed my original order to burgundy leather, with the 430 sole and all black stitching. You can see the pictures of them back on page 8.
Do you have any pics of the boots broken in? They look great! How do you like the pull tabs instead of a top strap? I'm thinking of ordering a custom pair with no top strap but a pull tab at the back instead. Nice boots!
-
I haven't worn them nearly as much as I should be but I'll try to get some more pictures up. I'll try to get some pics with some natural light so you can really see the true colors of these. It never even really crossed my mind to even consider top straps, I think that pull tabs are more functional and they just look like they belong on a boot like mine. That's just my personal preference though.

Good move there SF, looking forward to the pics!

Hey Seawolf, are these a single midsole with Vibram 700? I'm thinking about getting a custom pair of Wesco Bosses and that's what I was thinking of going with.
These are black smooth. I love 'em.
Single midsole, 430 sole

I pulled the trigger on a pair of Wesco harness boots a few weeks ago.
At first, I was looking at Fryes and Chippewas, with a preference for Chippewas, then I stumbled upon a site called booteddude or bootedharleydude, and realized I had totally forgotten to investigate Wesco, which I did. There was a link from the harleydude's site to the Stompers boots store in SF, and the guy from Stompers totally sold me on those even though they are more expensive than Chippewas.
But the wait was long, so I put the idea to sleep for a while. At the same time, my nice cowboy boots are taking a beating with the rain, snow when I ride to and from work and they dont do a good job at keeping my feet warm. So I said fuck it, and got the fast track option on the wesco site, which cut the wait time to a few weeks.
They are scheduled for delivery in the next 10 days, provided French customs and Chronopost (USPS' local partner) don't take years to clear the package… I have a notion that I'm going to start wearing my superblack IH pants again soon...
