      On the topic of custom orders from Wesco, are Mr Lous just a version of the Boss? Lous aren't listed as an option in the custom feature configurator on the Wesco site, so I'm basically just wondering how that works — maybe just a Boss with the MP toe option? Maybe not that simple…  Anyway, I've only ever had a stock pair.

      MP toe, slim shaft, tighter heel cup.

      But best to ask Wesco the questions.

        @teddyjay:

        Anybody have an idea what the wait time now is for Wesco custom made boots?

        Not sure but I have things order from December and February that I still haven't got. Understandable with all the disruptions.

        thanks @atm23.  Hopefully you get'em soon.

          Cool that makes sense. I figure I should just email and say “I want a Mr Lou with these specs” instead of bothering with trying to customize a Boss on the site. It’s a bit hard to visualize anyway, since the configuration just gives you illustrations.

            What Giles said pretty much sums it up. The Lou‘a have a different logo stitch than the Boss if I am not mistaken. The rest is up to your liking. Chris is a great guy and more then helpful. I am waiting for my olive waxed flesh to arrive  😎

                We have black, brown & natural horsehide on order @Nkwkfld @popvulture - It's going to be around 5-6 months still though.

                  @popvulture I just flipped back up the conversation and saw you are looking for a 12.5. We have only gone up to a 12 on stock sizes. Drop me a DM if you are 100% certain about going ahead, I may be able to tack on 1 more size to our current order or move some things around so you're not waiting 11 months for a custom order.

                    Cool @Chesson thank you, I’ll mull it over and decide if I’m positive about wanting to pick up another pair! I’ve tried 13 and they’re just a little too big for me. My 12s in Natural fit but they’re a little tight pressing down on my feet, so I figure a 12.5 will be Goldilocks for me.

                          @teddyjay yeah I'm waiting on my second pair of Jobmasters and JH Classics. I have a pair of LTT Smoke Jumpers, around 3-4 years of wear, from Whites that are extremely comfortable. Waiting on a pair of LTT Bounty Hunters at the moment.

                            I ordered these a while ago and planned on wearing them for the patina thunderdome. I may enter them as my second pair.

                            Build was-
                            8 inch
                            Boss toe- bump toe last
                            Unstructured toe
                            Burlap
                            4014 vibram
                            Single mid sole with half slip
                            Double outsole stitch
                            Mr. Lou shaft

                            Its my first time with Burlap roughout. Cant get over how nice it is.

                                  Thank you!!!! I saw a charcoal build that was very similar to this that gave me the idea. Im very happy with them.  The only thing I should have done was the triple stitch upper. Oh well! Next time[emoji13]

                                  I think I’ll add these in the dome as a second pair

                                      @kkibbey23 Great build! Unique choices there and turned out really well. Next to the more refined style of your Zerrows these will develop a beautifully rough patina
