So here we go…...

[Jett129]

WOW,Fucking jaw dropping! Thanks!

[Giles]

I've just given it some shit seen what it looks like with some stress….

[Jett129]

Do you have a potential ETA on the boots?

[Dmart]

That’s nice Giles! They will look great. You have the full build?

[Appfaff]

The wear looks not DISSIMILAR to the navy CXL you guys specced on the forum service boots with Viberg a decade ago… my pair has nearly White creases with wear in between oils, and goes back to saturated state when it drinks a bit of boot or mink oil.

You will love them. and brass was the right choice with that shade!

Makes no difference if I have 9 or 10 pairs of Engineers

That is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever read.

Haha. I just placed the order for the quick Striker SS Wesco collab. I love that olive, but purple (insert heart smiley here)

And just received an email, another 40 weeks for the Quick Striker I hope they are worth but at the same time have no doubt…

They are indeed. I love the olive waxed flesh and longer straps. They will look great a year into wearing them.
Oh and thanks for the IKEA shoe storage tip. I checked them yesterday and they are great for our purpose especially since our walk in closet consists of doorless PAX. In the bigger ones I can fit 8 pairs (front and back).

[Oaktavia]

First pair of Wescos! They fit wonderfully! What can you fine folks tell me about the Mr. Lou breaking in process, or anything in particular?

[neph93]

Great boots!

What leather is it? That will have a lot to say about the break in. Breaking them in will be like breaking in XHS. The leather will stretch, soften and mould, as will the soles. Single mids don’t take to long either.

If they pinch at the start then take out the insole, keep it safe and replace later. If they stretch too much you can add extra insoles.

These are designed to minimise heel slip, but if you do get it, then remember it’s a feature, not a flaw.

[Oaktavia]

@neph93 I was so excited about them I forgot to post the leather type. It's the steerhide. They don't pinch but feel nice and snug.

[Jett129]

They look awesome. Are they a custom build?

[Oaktavia]

Nopers just the Mr. Lou stock.
