    • RE: WESCO

      @Chris:

      What size did you order, I can help you with a recommendation!

      @Authentic04:

      Leather Configuration: Single Tone
      Rough Out Configuration: No
      Toe Vamp Leather: Brown Smooth
      Counter Leather: Brown Smooth
      Upper (Shaft) Leather: Burgundy Domain
      Lace Design: Semi Lace to toe
      Height: 8"
      Thread Color (upper): White
      Leather Liner: No Thanks
      Hardware: Brass Eyes & Hooks
      Midsole: Single
      Leather Half Slip: Yes please
      Edge: Brown
      Heel Lifts: Standard
      Sole: Vibram 430 Mini Vib
      Outsole Stitching color: White
      Steel Toe: No Thanks
      Toe Cap: No Thanks

      I ended up ditching the half slip. I'll most likely do a double mid sole and full lace to toe next time. Overall I'm 100% satisfied with my choices.

      They've been on my feet for over an hour with no problems.

      Can anyone comment on wesco shoe fit compared to the jobmasters? I'd like to get a pair of shoes.

      I ordered a 10EEE they may be a touch wide but it's making the break in easier! I usually get a lot of pressure on my instep but I don't have any in these.

      Anyone who has ordered Wescos recently how long was the lead time? I'm at 6 weeks since mine were sent to the factory. I emailed Bakers and they said 16-18 weeks!! 😞

    • RE: Regular-ass Pocket Tees.

      Honestly Carhartt makes some of the best t-shirts and they recently have became less boxy fitting. They're heavy weight. they don't shrink. They come in a ton of sizes and colors.

      Chippewa x Jcrew roughouts, I bought them second hand in the summer just really starting to wear them now.

      Here's my appaches after about 2yrs of wear. The heel needs replacing, I walk hard on the outside corner of my heels so at this point they're pretty worn. Have treated them once or twice with red wing boot oil.

      @Giles:

      No completely different.  Completely different things.  The Burlap has a sanded finish…...

      Ohh okay thank you, that would make sense why I've never seen any pictures of it darkened with time.

      Thank you for the info.

      Does the burlap smooth age the way Whites Distressed smooth or a Natural CXL does?

    • RE: Left Field NYC

      @madmonday:

      i love them, thanks for the images. how did you size?

      I based it off the size charts of these and a pair of greasers I tried on and ordered 1 size bigger because the greasers were tight. It was all based on an impression I needed a much bigger thigh measurement than I thought so it's entirely my fault.

      I was able to size my Black Marias perfectly though.

      @madmonday:

      anyone grabbed a pair of these:

      http://leftfieldnyc.com/products/copy-of-black-japanese-twill-kerouac-chino

      they look kind of awesome, but wanted to hear from someone on the Iron Heart train in terms of quality goods. . .

      Here's mine. I love them and they're definitely built well. I sized wrong and they're a little bigger than I'd like but still plan on getting a lot of wear out of them. They're currently on the back burner because of my Black Marias.

      I'm wearing these for the DWC and also for Left Fields fade contest.

    • RE: Introduce Yourself Here

      Hey what's up everyone, I haven't posted much on here until recently. Owned a pair of 301s awhile ago but ended up selling them because they didn't fit that well. Hoping to get into some IH shirts and jackets sometime soon. Looking forward to browsing through the forum.

    • RE: WESCO

      Is there anywhere in NYC or near by that carries Wescos?

      Also how well does the domain leather hold up? I was about to pull the trigger on some Whites but it seems like I'd be much happier with a pair of Wescos. I love the heavy duty build of them.

      I was able to try on a pair of 10.5ee Boss boots and they felt good minus the toe box being cramped. Do the jobmasters fit the same way?

    • RE: White's Boots

      My feet are kind of an anomaly. I used to work for Allen Edmonds so I became pretty good at fitting people and I was never able to fit myself perfectly in their shoes but I've been able to wear anything from a 9D-10E. Most of them being in the 9.5eee range. The kicker is on a brannock device I measure an 11D-E!

      I generally fit myself based on where the arch hits. I might try and make a trip up to NYC and try on a few more sizes this coming week.

      Or take a vacation to Bakers and be fitted by Kyle himself

    • RE: White's Boots

      Thanks guys i appreciate the advise, the only rush now is just getting it actually ordered since it going to take some time for them to be made.

      I did tracing according to Bigblackboots advice and it came out to be a 10.5EE. I feel confident with this. Now it just comes down to color choice. Im really into the smooth brown and dress brown but would be into red dog also. Decisions decisions!

    • RE: White's Boots

      I just spent 2 full nights reading through this thread. Im about to pull the trigger on a pair of boots once i hear back from Kyle at Bakers. My only question though, has anyone noticed a quality difference since the company was sold. Its been about a year now so im hoping someone has a before and after pair to compare.

      I was able to try on a pair of Smokejumpers at a local store although their size run was limited, the 10.5EE seemed to fit perfectly. At least in terms of the arch hitting in the right spot and my heel feeling like it was being hugged by the boot. I was very pleased with the fit. I also was able to try on a pair of Wesco pull on boots, the boss model im guessing. I wasnt very pleased with the fit of those at all. Maybe it was just the last but the whites fit way better. Im praying that the boots are of the same quality as the old ones so i dont have to look else where.

      I am a bit confused on the sizing though because the only thing I wear a 10.5 or 11 are vans, converse, and nikes. All of my Allen Edmonds, RW, Chips are all 9.5 or 10 E-EEE. Does this sound right? I even have a pair of RW 9111 in a 10D granted the leather is soft and forgiving otherwise i dont think it would have worked at all.

      P.S. We need some more pictures of worn in red dog smooth!

    • RE: Show us your boots

      That's what i have been doing, and researching the leather options for both. I think it's going to come down to which one will fit me better. I sent an email out to Baker so just waiting to hear back and then pull the trigger.

      I know I'm going to send up with both at some point. So I may go with whites initially because they're slightly cheaper and you get more options for the price. Then go all out on a custom fit pair of wescos!
