WESCO

Enjoy it @benniejackson - I'm from Fort Worth originally, and always look forward to my visits there. My roommate from college lives in Meridiana just outside Houston proper, so we get to swing by H-town from time to time!

Thanks, @Appfaff I'm on the north side in the Woodlands. If you're ever passing through on the way to Fort Worth from Meridiana let me know if you want to have a mini-IH meetup and grab a beer.

will do @benniejackson !

…you would be better off going through IHUK than ordering direct from Wesco.
[emoji106][emoji106]Custom Wescos will be my next purchase [emoji776] Just saving up my pennies. Worked up a build for Custom Romeos, but decided Custom Boss Engineers are what I really want [emoji41]

The color is beautiful. What is that? Awesome build. I was playing with the boot builder today,but didn’t pull the trigger.
That is the newer edition of the brown oil tan, but rough out.
. The boots I was pretend building would’ve been the British Tan rough out. Didn’t see a brown oil tan offered.

We’re going to be boot buddies!
Those are gorgeous [emoji2956] Looks we have similar tastes [emoji106][emoji106] I think it’s the same build, except I’m going for the Redwood (not rough-out) [emoji41]

Nice builds! I like the boss toe more and more. Do you have on-feet shots Reuben?
Coming soon mate. I took that pic when I received them in June, wore them once and had to put them in storage during a house move. They are now out of storage and ready to rock and roll. Watch this space.

I always assumed that Wesco’s are a bit out of my price range - one of those things I’d admire from afar and only maybe dip my toe in a few years time. This morning out of curiosity I built some Romeo’s on their online builder and the cost is MUCH lower than I expected. Crazy stuff, basically like Red Wing prices.
I have a few Q’s about ordering thru IH:
If sometime in the future I were to place an order through IHUK, does the price stay fairly constant between IHUK and the Wesco site, allowing exchange rates etc? Or will the boots be subject to hefty import taxes?
Are you guys able to provide a rough price for a basic build so I have a ball park idea before deciding to take the plunge? -

I always take a screen dump of the build details and send it to IHUK, they can get you a quote based on that. Still shouldn’t be earth shattering.

The overall premium istn too bad. Best man to get in touch with from IHUK is @chesson. He will not only be able to tell you prices but is more than helpful with any questions you may have in the build. I ordered two pairs of boots through him and he has always been very responsive and helpful.

Does the price stay fairly constant between IHUK and the Wesco site,
No because we have to ship, pay import taxes etc. etc. etc. Just the same as IH being more expensive in The West than in Japan. Or for that matter, anything British-made sold in Japan. That is an almost immutable law of international trade. But if you buy from us, what we say is what you will pay, we take the shipping, VAT, Duty lottery away from you.

We can give you an exact price if you tell us what we want. Email shop@ironheart.co.uk
