That's what I had heard as well. I know the Edward Greens that I have also have a rather thick, waxy, and supple leather when compared to other leathers I own, but I have no way of comparing this to the Trickers grassmere, Hoggs of Fife, or Lotus boots that you own. This is someone else's picture comparing the boots in Zug we purchased and the leather when compared to the thickness of a quarter.

They are called Jump Boots because they were issued to American paratroopers in WWII. I got my first pair in 1966 when I signed up for jump school in the US Army. I wore that style of boots in uniform until I got out of the Army in 1980. The issue boots in the sixties were black. You can still get them but they are hard to find. I went through several pairs over years of hard use but they will last decades with proper care. They make excellent motorcycle boots.
