I saw it! Really can’t help though, sorry 

I have a pair of WL boots sold through Dundas under their label. They were not a hard break in at all. The leather is probably only 4-5oz. Any idea on the thickness of the leather you are looking at? That tends to be a good guide.

Hey! Yep, they make the Dundas. I don't know the thickness, but it's the thickest they work with, same as the reverse kip leather. On the previous page someone said that the first time it felt like slipping into chinese lotus shoes Haha, I really like the looks of the leather, but damn. I think 2-2.2 mm? Thickkkk

Hello guys!
Bumping an old thread, but not much first had experience on William Lennon boots and leathers. I am about to order a custom pair of either 78TC or the 107F boots with vibram commando sole. The leather I really like is the Dark brown rough-out leather used smooth. It is the same as the thick ass Waxed Reverse Kip leather.
So, my question is - is it too hard and stiff and painful to break in?
I am going to use my boots for walking in town, rain and snow and maybe some mountaineering. Or should I get something not so hard?
Hope someone sees this
