My custom Boss which @Giles kindly had photographed for me. They are currently in Gosport about to be shipped and I am drooling into my telephone as I write this…

[Bluegrass]

Wow!!  Congrats!!

[neph93]

@Bluegrass:

Wow!!  Congrats!!

Thank you! I believe you've advocated keeping it simple and that was part of the plan here. It'll be a week until I get my hands on them [emoji16]

[Bluegrass]

Yes, those are very clean - love the custom roller buckles, longer straps, natural edge…..

[pillowPANTS]

I agree with all of that!!
Maybe not the double mid tho

@pillowPANTS:

Not in keeping with the simple philosophy I agree, and they're not for everyone. I just love the look of the double mid's and the boot has more heft with them as it counteracts the sleek MP toe. Also the conditions I'll be wearing them in dictate a double sole; everything that lifts me out of mud, snow, and sleet is good stuff.

That's an awesome pair of boots, and they'll look even better with some wear on them! Double mid suits them, but I expect it will take a bit more to break them in fully.
Surprised you're not on a plane to Gosport to pick them up [emoji3]

Yeah the oil-tanned lacks character initially but was a must if they're going to be year round boots. The good thing is I can use mink oil on them. And I've seen well worn examples that look ace.

Looking forward to see your pair and mine break in

Beautiful @neph93 !

@neph93 !

Thank you! Shipped today. They'll be in my hands in a week as long as customs don't fuck me. Which they are totally going to do.

Yes!  Same leather but soft toe vs. toecap and double sole vs. single. It'll be cool to compare.

[jdl1279]

So geeked right now!!! Custom fit is spot on. I cannot wait to start breaking these beasts in

[tmg]

Fantastic colour combo, really like those!

[neph93]

Beautiful. The brown double mid is so nice here.

[jdl1279]

Thanks gents! The brown really pops the burgundy. Will be very interesting once the veg starts to patina

@jdl1279:

It does. It's the subtle detail that makes the build.

True, although I don't think I could live with the inevitable indigo stains. That's just me being a wus though.
