WESCO

[Giles]

Dunno.  I'll ask…...

Lovely custom build for a customer going out today. Love the soles on these!

Did a little WESCO Wednesday cleaning. Been wearing these on and off for 2 years, they are the division rd makeup.

To me the British tan, such a cool leather. I gave them a treatment if Venetian shoe cream. Didn't make them darker really, which is what I wanted. I also wiped down the laces with some jojoba oil.

I'll give them a day to sit then back in rotation tomorrow

I was glad to see that DR restocked those Wesco's. Really digging them and would like to eventually get a pair. I've got a decent tax refund coming to me but i'm conflicted. I could buy the Wesco's but IH will undoubtedly be dropping several flannels for FW20 that will be on my 'must-have' list. Guess I could purge some items from my closet and fund the Wesco's that way.

Best thing I've found for darkening is Obenauf's LP. It'll give them a great protective layer, as well.

^ They look really great - congrats ^

[neph93]

Yes indeed. The black horsehide is especially nice. Love the way cut edges show up in tan.

Thanks, I’m quite pleased with them. I’ll likely swap out the nylon laces for rawhide ones once I’m allowed to venture out of the house again. Undecided on the kiltie though.

I love the aesthetics of kilties and wouldn’t want to go without. They look especially good on these I think. They also have a valid function. Again, rawhide laces are my choice as a rule, and will look excellent here.

That's definitely 9109 last. First Jobmaster I've seen built on it and I dig the look

[YesBlank]

Thanks for the confirmation, these were factory seconds and it didn't specify the last. I really lucked out on the sizing, they're half a size down from my MP Boss size but wider (9109 EE vs 1339 E) and the fit is dead-on.

[jdl1279]

The 9109 is my favorite due to it being a little narrower compared to my Jobmasters. That and I like the overall shape of the bump toe a lot better.

Gave my kilties a close shave - like it better this way…

@Chris at Wesco or anyone,  Can the bee oil be used on my Romeo brown domain rough out? Thanks?

[neph93]

Can be, but it will alter the colour and probably smooth out the nap.

[Matty123]

I just cleaned mine ( they weren’t cool dirty) with saphir Omni nettonyant. And it worked. Now I want to condition

[Jett129]

I can’t imagine anything with oil going well with rough out. Definitely test it on an obscure part first.

[YesBlank]

I have a lot of boots I love but damn it… just bury me in these.
