when you restocking the delraiser Kiya? and is it possible to get one ordered through yall with larger measurements than the stock size? 44 wont do it for me. I need bigger.

Here are mine!

What kind of allowances do you guys tend to consider when choosing a size for this shirt?

I've noticed Giles opts for a XL over his usual L. Why for this shirt and the other UHFs?

I'm a chest 41.5

The L size almost seems like a bastard child but it's there and I'm not sure if I should go L or XL.

Thanks for the advice. I think I'm going to take the insole out.

This is definitely the thickest leather for a boot I've ever had.

I have have a pair of them all too. Role club, Lofgren, whites,  etc.

Very impressed by these wescos

@jdl1279:

Really depends on how often you can wear them, what the style is, etc Can I ask where they're hurting?

it's the boss

i'll try to wear them daily

over the middle of my foot on the vamp area. it's tight and cuts off circulation if i'm standing still.

think cold water treatment would hurt them? That is put them on, stand in a bucket for about five minutes, then walk them dry…

@jdl1279:

The veg is Wesco's toughest leather to break in. You're probably already feeling how stiff it is. It softens to a great buttery glove like goodness with some persistence though.

how long does the break in take?

@Americanaaa:

my veg tan wescos came in

they feel kinda dry and hurt my feet. should I condition them?

I went 9 months before doing anything with the veg on my Jobmasters. The leather softens considerably with wear.

hmm okay

i guess im used to over conditioned leather cause every time i get a new pair of boots i lather them in something. also im used to that quick break in of horween CXL.

guess ill give these time and break them in w/o anything

my veg tan wescos came in

they feel kinda dry and hurt my feet. should I condition them?

how much will the veg tan darken over time?

and what are yall's thoughts on two lifts lower on the heel of a boss?

anyone have any example pics of this?

Thanks. sent them an email asking if they can make that boot but with a #705 sole, double midsole and my own custom hardware

do you know the name in relation to their website?

anyone know what last this boot was built on?

Also what thread color that is?

and if this leather option can be requested when building a boot by them? I want to build something like this boot with just a couple modifications.

so final decision

single or double midsole?

I kinda like how the single looks but I also like the sturdiness of double midsoles.

@Bluegrass:

Ha! Opinions are like belly buttons - everybody has one! I'm not a fan of double midsoles for myself - but I'm also 6'7" :).  Here are my Boss with single midsole, Vibram 100.  Hell, you really can't go wrong!

thanks for sharing.

is that wesco's standard heel?

how is their lowered block heel on the boss?
@neph93:

Brown.  Fancy khaki on my next pair with brown oil tanned rough out.

nice.

what hardware is that and is it offered through wesco?

@emceeQ:

Long wait, but I'm finally in some Wesco's…

what hardware option is this?

is it offered through wesco?

@neph93:

My custom Boss which @Giles kindly had photographed for me. They are currently in Gosport about to be shipped and I am drooling into my telephone as I write this…

Is that upper stitching brown or khaki?

I need some opinions

I ordered a pair of custom boss boots through baker.

I chose double midsole and the brown halfsole. will this look too thick? I'm considering changing it to single midsole. anyone have a double midsole with the brown halfsoles on a pair of boss engineer boots? please share photos if you can

What's the difference between black leather and black tie domain leather?
