@tmg:

@Giles thanks, and for reference what size are you in these?
Going 1/2 size up from you seemed to work for my Vibergs, so I'd assume that would hold true here

Thanks G

A favourite in my collection is a pair of hand made in New Zealand, McKinlays.  These ones were custom made for the 'Bureau Belfast'.  Very light, very comfortable and in my opinion pretty stylish.

@Giles - are those on the munson?

[Giles]

Yes

[fre-co]

Thanks. They are very nice Russell's. I always think Russell's look better on the Munson last for some reason.

@Authentic04:

I didn't want to clutter up the Wesco or whites thread with this question so I'll ask here.

Wesco Jobmaster vs Whites Bounty Hunters for everyday abuse and work. The Wesco look heavy duty with the stitching and everything which I'm into. But I also like the stream line of the bounty hunter.

Can anyone with both chime in and comment which they prefer and why?

@Authentic04, I have both and that's ultimately where you want to be - with both, that way you wont need to worry about which you prefer and why

Just bought these Caterpillar boots off eBay. not sure exactly what they are, but have steel toe caps and commando soles, though they looked like a smoke jumper boot.

Are these the brown domain IH collabs? If so you just made my mind up. Those are gorgeous.

[ben2t]

@Beerhammer, nope those are Baker's MTO and yeah its brown domain.

[ben2t]

[Giles]

They are effectively these.

This my built, but i got suggestion from here that brown domain is better so i called Bakers to update my order to all brown domain leather.

Friday cant come quick enough….

@ben2t those are gorgeous.  I did a similar make-up in burlap rough out - 9" tall, 3" longer straps, Vibram 700, nickel roller buckles from Hukurokuju…

^ Sweet boots

[Bluegrass]

They need to be roughed up some more - I'm working on it (a.k.a. wearing them).

[ben2t]

@Bluegrass i was aiming for 9" too but i don't want to pay more so ended up with the standard 11" and strap. Look good with that burlap and extra length strap.
