      Many moons ago we suggested to @Chris at Wesco that he do a Chukka Boot.  Whilst the idea intrigued him, he was reluctant to get onto the Chukka bandwagon.  Wind forward till 2 weeks ago and he asked for a video call with me and Alex.  He showed us early prototypes, saying that he thought they were sufficiently different from others on the market for Wesco to start making them.

      He sent me and Alex a pair each to look at. wear and critique.

      Here are mine, round toe in burgundy waxflesh.

      I think that we will likely initially make them in brown rough out, but you can choose your own leather.

      We are guessing retail will about USD465…

        And mine in a navy waxed flesh with the MP95 toe. I think charcoal rough out and brown rough out would be good starting points for stock options, personally.

          LOL I just had a conversation with him a couple weeks back about doing this and he told me to wait.

            I think they look good. As Alex says, charcoal rough out would be killer.

            Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
            Well, I have others.

              Veg tan with a honey lug would be the boot for me. I already have shoes on order in charcoal R/O, so I can see it being popular too

                      These I like a lot and the price point is pretty nice. Might need to out some bucks aside in a bit.

                                    We will be taking pre-orders for the Chukkas any minute.  Just finalizing pricing.  Likely to be between USD450 and USD475 shipped.

                                    For pre-orders, you will be able to choose your leather, sole, hardware and toe shape.

                                    We will be initiating production runs in a couple of rough-outs leather  These very likely being one of them…..

                                        That grey roughout is stunning. I’m looking forward to seeing how these look with wide hemmed jeans and work pants. Shit, I hope, because them I won’t have to buy a pair, but I fear that is wishful thinking…
