      @popvulture  One of the greatest things about getting older is realizing 99% of people don’t care what you’re wearing and the other 1% don’t matter 😉

        Haha yes! I totally agree. Once I passed 40 I felt the big relief of just being like "ok this is what I wear — it's what I like, and I'm committing to it," vs continuing to pay attention to trends etc. I'll totally admit that I still have vestiges of "what will people think?" that have kinda dogged me my whole life, but they're a lot less.

        It's good to kick those concepts to the curb. Maybe while wearing some purple Lous.

            Jules acquired these purple beauties recently which is a tenuous link I know  😉

              Could I opt for chrome nickel buckles?

              Yep

                I’ve been working with @Giles and @Chesson to have these made in purple…smooth side out

                Can’t wait to see how they will turn out.  🙂

                      Very nice is somewhat of an understatement…Sick AF is more like it.

                        So funny @goosehd I came here to say brushed gunmetal hardware would really pop with that leather not even knowing if it was an option. 😃

                        I do love the brass too.

                        Think it, be it.

                                  The purple is not something I would buy or wear (for now) but I must say they look awesome and Wesco has once again delivered on the execution.

                                  Can I ask if these are hand lasted vs steam lasted?

                                      Where did the name “Mr. Lou” come from or what is the reference?  Feel like I am missing something.

                                      Also, looking damn good!!

                                        I’ve heard Chris from Wesco talk about it,maybe on Iron Cast,but it’s a reference/tribute ,I think,to someone from Wesco. I’m guessing someone can fill in the details.
