WESCO-MRLOU-BLK - Wesco® - 10" Horsehide Pull-On "Mister Lou" Engineer Boot - Black

[AtariHunter]

Thank you very much @John-Galt and @Dmart ! I have to check my Brannock size (provided that I can find a device here in Switzerland) but it seems like a 7.5E is the way to go for me.

[Dmart]

@AtariHunter where are you in Switzerland? I live in Lucerne. I measured my brannock with an online print form but had it confirmed at a shop.

What a coincidence! I live in Bern (lucky me, there is a shop – called Feinfracht – with IH products, or should I rather say „poor me!“?). Good point, I will look for an online print, thanks for the hint!

[Dmart]

I’m shopping at Feinfracht regularly. Great shop!

Feinfracht is great! Hoping on a restock on these wesco’s

[Ross]

@Heavy_blue ..They're in production...

[A Former User]

@Ross thanks man!

[Crispy Heron]

Can’t wait until these come back into stock.

[John Galt]

@Ross Any other flavors of the Mr. Lou horsehides (I.e. brown, natural, etc) forthcoming or only the black? Thanks! John

[Ross]

@John-Galt ...few other flavours in the oven as well...

Although please don't ask me for an ETA yet! we're a little too early in the game for that - as soon as I have anything concrete I'll make sure all the relevant forum pages are updated with whatever info I've got

[John Galt]

BTW - Anyone trying to decide between a D and E width in these - the Brannock chart indicates the difference to be 3/16”. Not sure how this plays out with the Lou’s, but my experience with the couple pair I have is that they run a little narrow to begin with.

[John Galt]

@Ross Excellent to hear - looking forward to seeing what you’ve got cooking when the time comes - thanks!

[AtariHunter]

@Ross

Great news, thanks for the update!

Feinfracht is great!

It is indeed!

[Crispy Heron]

I feel almost embarrassed for asking this but…

I am a 555 man. Like a narrow hem. I assume that a 555 would allow for the Mister Lou’s to be taken on and off?

[Dmart]

I would say it depends on the size you wear in the 555 and thus the hem. If you have a small waist I think it won’t work. I wear mainly 634 due to this and my waist is around 31/32. 555/777 doesn’t work over Engineers in my size. A hem of 7.5 would be the minimum for me to fit over the boots.

@Crispy-Heron i have a UHR and a XHSbb in 555. Both size 34 and fit over my Lofgren engineers. Mr. Lou had a even smaller shaft.

[Crispy Heron]

@Dmart - tag 30, waist around 31 inches. I can’t think my SBGs are going to work as they are narrow.

@Heavy_blue - I have a pair of UHR as well and reckon they will work as the hem isn’t quite so narrow.

Thanks for your views - may have to consider a pair of 634s or 666 SBGs!

[A Former User]

@Crispy-Heron 666 fits perfectly! Although my 555’s hemm fits a 666 or 888 is much easier. And it’s alwayd a good excuse to buy a new denim

[Crispy Heron]

@Heavy_blue - thanks. Just need to convince she who must be obeyed now.

@Oaktavia - I need your help! You are a 777 man aren’t you? How do you find the Mister Lou’s with them?
