WESCO

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.
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.

If I remember correctly IHUK have Mr Lou's coming in soon (er than the 11 month build wait) in a few colours of horsehide @popvulture
-
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 Thanks! Also waiting on a pair of Whites.
-
@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.

Those are really,really,really…Great! Would love to see how they look with jeans.
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
