Wow , just stumbled on this thread as I didn’t realize there are people as crazy as I am!
I own 2 of the y2 westerns , the camel steer in 44 and the indigo horse in 46 and both are amazing.
The steerhide out of the box has a beautiful feel to it and wearing straight from the box is a joy. The blue ‘Pablo’ horse is so subtle but stiff as horse tends to be . But it’s breaking in super nice. Just took it on a 600 mile weekend ride couple months back.
Sizing ????? Holy shit , definitely take measurements and typical Japanese sizing , I recommend going up a minimum of one size, maybe two depending on your intended use.
Tj at Vancouver is awesome and a pleasure to work with. If you are on the fence on grabbing one …… you will not regret, quality is awesome on these.

I didn’t even realize these existed nor did I realize I needed a new pair of engineers!!!!
Damn it ! These are darn good looking !!!

I’m really starting to think my wife is on to something. She had stated several times ‘ I think you have a problem! ‘ after having to ‘collect my collection ‘ I think she possibly might be right.
Does anyone else have this problem?
The last pic is of the engineer I received and posted about a few months back. They are coming along nicely. Love this thread and obviously love me some Wesco. I wonder if they actually sponser goons like myself..

Ok it’s been a while since I’ve checked in , but had to share that both my custom pairs have come in and I couldn’t be happier. You say , why two pair? Well because I’m truelly a sicko and once I saw the knuckle dragger green horween from S and S, i just had to have them . made the call to Neil and he hooked it up. Mind you this is right after I just put in an order with Kyle at bakers. Both guys are awesome to deal with, and both went the extra mile to make a customer happy. Love this site and this forum … its nice to know that I’m not alone in this world....

Finally was able to upload a pic! Lol

I’ve got a black pair! Love them!!

Finally made it ! These double mids are gonna be a tuff one to crack!!!
Custom order ,

Well hell ,  I never knew this thread existed until @GingerMagician recently enlightened me.
Recently picked up a piece from him and it went smoothly. And in the past I have picked up a few pieces from others as well. @Clint_D @Appfaff and there was one very knowledgeable guy @Giles that seemed to know a little bit about these fine clothes.
Thanks to all mentioned above

@illo59:

The argument of reselling possibilities is strong, also they are cheaper than some regular retailed red wings…

I don't like dumping on RW's, they are in no way bad boots and perfectly serviceable in many situations, but the difference between RW and Wesco is about the same as the difference between Levi's and Iron Heart.

I agree with you [url=https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=9518]@neph93 , but In my experience after purchasing wesco and Ironheart… well, let’s just say I don’t have any RW or Levi’s in my closet. on another note , has anyone pre-ordered the SandS engineer with the waxed green hide? Omg they look like they are going to be amazing. I’m kinda bummed cuz I saw the boot after I put my order in for a custom. And now the pic wesco just put on IG of the Horsehide. Good lord
I’m going to go broke. Wesco is killing it and also my pocket book. Those HH look a lot like what Brian is putting out without the year plus wait. Oh man , I might be single soon cuz my wife will be leaving me due to my habits.
