I agree with you 100% on their left-and-right upcharges. Thankfully, the only upcharge I was hit with was $40 for the black tie leather. Ended up costing $450 (I think). 7" is the secret height (they'll do it no problem), which is strangely equivalent to 6" high Whites.
And sorry for derailing this thread with so much non-Whites action. A wesco thread or a general boot thread would be a more appropriate place no doubt.
I've always loved the Wesco Packers, especially the MP Toe. This is almost exactly the same way that I'd build a pair! I just can't get past all the nickel-and-dime charges for every little customization. I'm sure I've griped about this here before, probably to b-ewing. Everything from changing their standard brown stitching to picking leather laces instead of nylon...it really adds up. Last I checked, they didn't have an option on the site for 7" height or any different last options for the Packer boot. I don't really want to know how much more they charge for that. Nonetheless, those are gorgeous!
