        Hm why stick to one brand? Plenty of room to spread the love around. I have some Role Clubs coming soon. My Lofgren engineers have been great but they're a bit too small for me, so I'll be putting em up for sale once the the RCs show up.

        Whatever the case, Wescos are definitely worth a look. Very well made, and a different vibe from Lofgren.

          I have Lofgren, Wesco, Viberg, Trickers, and Zerrows in different makes and models and wear them for different moods and occasions and that doesn’t even include sneakers. Wear what you like, but don’t wear crappy fitting shoes. Your feet, knees, and back will thank you for it as you get older.

            Haha I totally agree with you, man. My mom was always harassing me about wearing Cons and Vans when I was young — "those have no support, and you'll regret it later!"

            She was right, obviously. (spoken as my aging body crumbles)

              @popvulture totally right man!! Only doubt i have is how they are quality wise compared to Lofgren, what your call about that? Also wich leather did you take your RC’s in?

                @Heavy_blue There is a reason why IH sell Wesco…

                    For one, what Goose just said — the fact that IH sells them definitely should speak to their quality. Like I said previously though, they're just a different vibe. I feel like the Wescos are more rugged, definitely a lot more fun to beat the hell up.

                    RCs are in the hand-finished black over brown horse. Can't wait.

                      Wesco’s build and durability are the reasons they are my go to boot when I’m riding motorcycles. They do what I need them to do, and I’m never in doubt that they are going to fail me.

                      IH’s motto is over engineered is our starting point and the same can be said for Wesco.

                        Second this.
                        Lofgren may be a bit more refined, a little more attention to details, but I always reach for one of my Wescos and I actually like the silhouette over the Lofgrens.
                        And since they are custom, they have just the perfect fit.
                        If I am not running, I only wear Engineers.
                        I will however at one point place an order on RC. I love the look, have only heard the best things about the build quality and I like Brian.

                            I purchased these Wesco Custom Chukka boots via the forum a few years back but haven't really worn them so, as a result, they have been for sale on both the forum and eBay. Today I added three eyelets either side and the resulting boots have a new look and feel! I'm no longer selling them. Incredible what a simple addition can do to the look and feel of a Wesco boot!

                                @den1mhead amazing what a pair of laces can do mate! I had not been wearing my custom Wescos much but @Ross hooked me up with a pair of Pisgah laces, and I've been wearing them so much more. Way easier to lace than the rawhides and they don't come undone.

                                The devil is in the detail..

                                  Hi AJ, thanks for the Pisgah Laces link, I will be purchasing a few pairs from their website.

                                    Looking to get a custom pair of mister lou's made and wanting a set a brown'ish ones to complement the black maryams.
                                    Chris sent me home with a couple of samples of Toscanello and Natural CXL to ponder. Anyone have a pair of boots with this leather have any thoughts or opinions of either? Any possible patina/age shots to share? Experience with keeping them looking good, conditioning, dealing with scratches or whatever? Also somewhat considering their British Tan Domaine like the 7500's but in a Mister Lou.

                                      I do have the natural CXL and posted several pics in this thread (post 5066). Don’t have them on hand and currently only have the burlap roughout with me.
                                      I love how the natural CXL ages and like the texture.

                                        Has anybody here polished their buckles on their Boss/Mister Lou yet? Wesco Sentayga posted on instagram their version of polishing and I was wondering if anybody here has done it before?

                                          I'm sure everyone was on the edge of their seat wondering if a decision was made. I decided against the toscanello due to the shininess and was on-board with Natural CXL since it looked like it would age pretty close to the toscanello's underlying brown. However, I came across pictures of natural veg tanned horsehide mister lou on standard/strange. Chris didnt have any right now but is going to source some for me during the wait time. Will follow up in ~1.5years with hopefully a rad pair of boots on my feet.

Slid em on my feet and it was worth every minute!! Love to see that natural veg tan leather!! My Natty CXL Lofgrens are looking better by the west though as well. I just love that leather!!

                                            In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...
