Wesco - Production and sneak peeks

[grandmasterben]

Sorry G$, already updated my post…dumb phone!  I'm sure you know what they are, but I like pics

I'm wondering if they might look off for some reason though on wesco…

[Giles]

I'm going to say no.  I like them but I want to retain the Wesco aesthetic…..

[grandmasterben]

I gotcha, for some reason I can see that it just doesn't really jive.  same thing with viberg's engineers too imo… I think something about the very oval toe of those bucos lends itself to the track

BAM

[grandmasterben]

Dope… Are you getting nickel ones made as well, or only brass?

[Giles]

50% will be nickel coated once I have approved the design.

I am always on the nickel-side of hardware, but when I see those buckles I dont care about the color.

[grandmasterben]

When i get a pair of engineers they're def gonna be nickel buckled…imo its a colder/more badass look

[superfuzz]

Hey G, can order just a set of buckles?

[Giles]

@superfuzz Not sure yet, will need to have a think…...

[superfuzz]

OK, G! If so I'm going to add a set to my next order. Those are the best looking buckles I've seen.

[Giles]

Wow, thank you @superfuzz, that's a nice thing to be told…..

[Giles]

And for those who are interested, here is the spec…..

Very nice, and +1 on the technical drawings.

[Giles]

I just got the samples…...

Even better than the photos....

STOKED

[grandmasterben]

Probably too early but…any idea on price if you could do horse engineers? Under 1000?

[Giles]

No idea.  Sorry.

[Giles]

Update on the buckle.  The prong (or tongue) is too large a gauge.  The frame is fanfeckintastic, so we are proceeding with the stamping, but we will put a finer wire prong on the production version.

Running a couple of Flightmaster samples…...

1 in black domain and 1in brown domain.....
