But with Wesco won't they include a refurb of some description in that price? If that's the case, the price isn't too bad. I know in the UK that Trickers a year or so ago were costing about £90 or $145 for a resole, again with some sort of refurb thrown in.
I have a couple of Wesco's and am only disappointed that it's not feasible for me to send the boots back there when the time comes.
A buddy of mine picked up a pair from Brass which are absolute stunners; $40/shipped I believe. Kick the crap out of the ones John @VEB has sold/sells
Bunyip - it sounds like you've got a great looking pair of boots on order. Believe it or not, the brass buckles will look really good on those boots. It will give them an authentic vintage look. They look good on my RRL Julian engineer boots. I will eventually have a black pair of Wescos - two tone Brown Domain/Redwood shafts will be my next priority.
These boots are not mine, but they are my inspiration for a black pair of Wescos - I have a pair of satin nickel Hukurokuju buckles sitting in a drawer waiting for this build. The black domain leather is probably a good addition as well:
Here is my pair when they were brand new. I need to post an updated picture to show them broken in:
