IHWE-FP-BLK - Iron Heart Int'l x Wesco® - 7" Rough-Out Boot - Black. The "Foot Patrol"

Congratulations!

I have brown stitching on both my black Wesco Engineers. One roughout, one not. I find it very subtle and and not in contrast at all. Unless you’re going for a totally murdered out pair with black midsoles, eyelets and everything then the brown touches just add depth to the colourway. I have a feeling you’ll be happy [emoji6]

I’ve seen some “in the wild” pics where it’s super subtle, but in a lot of close up pics it’s a lot less so and almost looks pinkish-purple. There’s a guy on Instagram that waxed his and they look amazing, almost looks like he dyed the stitching:

That works for sure. Very cool. I'll look forward to hearing what you do…

Originally it was the one thing I didn't like about Wesco boots: the (colour of the) stitching… As of right now, I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world...

After a few hours worth of wear it seems that the break-in process I was bracing for isn’t going to be an issue. These aren’t as snug as I was bracing myself for them to be so I think it’s going to be smooth sailing.

These are made from the oil-tanned leather, correct?

Man they look awesome Chuck and dont worry about the roughout, it’s pretty bombproof.

Yep, I'll update the product to reflect that…...

That’s a good thing.

[neph93]

Beauties…. absolute beauties. Doing that thing can have serious economic consequences but I have never looked at any of my pairs of Wesco’s with anything like buyer’s remorse.

I'm glad the sizing worked out otherwise it would have been a whole other thing. Ha!

Break in period commence!
