WESCO

I called and spoke to Chris. He was very helpful. This new stuff is not on the site.

Khaki, what was your full spec? I plan on pulling the trigger via Bakers within the week.

Right now just trying to decide on soles and natural or brown mids; I'm 99.9% sure I want 269s

But 705s could be really cool too

Can't wait to see them!

Khaki8, that is a super nice build, can't wait to see them! All these new pics of WESCOs are making want to order a new pair!

[khaki8]

Super stoked to try the MP toe on a lace up boot like this. All the other toes on White's and Wesco are so broad…this one has a nice contour.

[Bretro_]

Agree wholeheartedly. Did you size down or stick with your brannock size? I went a half size down on my mp engineers, but after dealing with some fit issues I'm wondering if I should order tts on these

[khaki8]

Chris had me go to a c width instead of a D. Same length as I usually get.

Wesco + Iron Heart = BOSS

Got the leather samples today. Wholly crap this new domain leather is nice!!! Beautiful pull up qualities and very thick. This shit laughs in CXL's face!!

Left to right: black, brown, burgundy

Top to bottom, wrinkled up: burgundy, black, brown

Burgundy:

Brown:

I was all in on the brown, but now I don't know… Can I have a pair in each leather??

[aho]

Thanks for the post! Gorgeous hues on all three of those but I can understand the dilemma…

[Bretro_]

No prob, bro! I plan on beating these samples up over the coming days. Will update pics if any strong evo develops

Btw- check out the oil/wax saturation visible on the flesh side:

This stuff is tits

[superfuzz]

Go with the brown.

[Bluegrass]

Burgundy!  (sorry, just fucking with you…) - they are all NICE!    But I do like that burgundy with the black hues peeping through....

[Chris]

I'd go with the burgundy, personally.

[Bretro_]

Fukk, I'm so torn right now between the black and burgundy (think I've ruled out brown)…

7" packers
MP toe
Brass eyelets and hooks
Brown upper white sole stitching
Non stained trim
Single midsole
269 outsoles

[superfuzz]

Burgundy all the way then!

[Mild7]

That burgundy is lovely.

[seawolf]

Burgundy is the most versatile color. It goes with black and brown. Easy to pair with any color leather jacket or belt.
