Just bought these on eBay. Can anyone tell if they are horsehide? I know there was a stock pair in horsehide identical to this released by Wesco that released a few years ago

Wesco boots that I use for Arborist work. I don’t trust much else as I’ve stood on them for days 80 feet in the air and working the ground cleaning up job sites. If I have a chain saw in hand, these boots are on my feet.

I didn’t love these with a wedge sole, they looked a bit too much like posh Ugg boots so I had them changed over to a commando sole and what a transformation! Wesco Boss in roughout.

@NickD I agree with you mate, now they are really very beautiful congratulations

[bluemantra]

@NickD looks great. did you have wesco resole?

[NickD]

No, they were done by a local cobbler - I’m in the UK so sending them back to the US wouldn’t really be viable.

Pictures don’t do these justice. After a bit of research I found out they are horween horsehide

@mudhogen
What’s the story with the stitching?

[mudhogen]

@Go-For-Chill the thick white stitching is a bit wonky for sure. They are probably B grades but it’s less noticeable in person and on foot.

Glad I could get in on that last little restock. This olive green is really nice and fortunately as dark as I thought it would be.

@mudhogen I really like that build. Is that a jobmaster of some sort?

[mudhogen]

@Mizmazzle yes, it is 8” regular toe jobmaster. These were a limited stock release wesco did in 2020.

@northsouthdenimguy nice pickup!

[motojobobo]

Beautiful boots @northsouthdenimguy !

Annual cleaning and shine.

Hello! I’m super curios if anyone in this thread owns a pair of the Wesco X Blubaugh engineer boots with some age, patina pictures how they look worn in..? Any thoughts at all.

I’m looking for a black pair of engineers I can rotate with my brown rough out Derroll boots from Ship John. And I can’t decide on what look I’m after. Regular shiny black horsehide, rough out black or the black waxed steerhide Blubaugh version that I think also looks really cool!

Would be cool just to see some pictures or hear any thoughts at all. Thanks in advance!

This is my first pair of Jobmasters, and these may be my best fitting and most comfortable boots. Loving this last and leather, virtually no break in required out of the box.

Shopping in Osaka came across some Wesco blue engineer boots already with patina and only 400 yen! Sizing could be tricky.
