WESCO

[Mizmazzle]

@Nik at first I thought you were buying full sized Wescos from a vending machine. Haha. I was like…man, they really use those vending machines for everything over there!!

[NickD]

@Mizmazzle you put your money in and have to wait at the vending machine for 18 months for them to arrive.

[Mizmazzle]

@NickD hahah. That’s hilarious

[Mizmazzle]

I’m curious if anyone’s put in an order with Wesco recently and what their current wait times are at the moment? Still 20+months?

[Ross]

@Mizmazzle At the moment i'm still advising people 20~24 months for custom builds to come through. Wesco have told me they're working to bring this lead time down as much as possible but i haven't seen it take effect as yet.

For now i'd just assume you're not going to see your build for 2 years and be pleasantly surprised if they come through sooner

I was listening to the ironcast podcast the other day and Chris was talking about lead times being 4 months lol. I would buy 3 pairs of boots a year if I only had to wait four months

[Mizmazzle]

@Ross that’s what I was figuring too. Guess I was hoping things would have started to swing by now.

[bluemantra]

@Mizmazzle I placed an order with Chris last month and if memory serves me he quoted 12-14 months with the lead times shortening due to new hires.

[Mizmazzle]

@bluemantra Thanks bro!
What did you order??

[bluemantra]

@Mizmazzle I ordered an 8" Boss in maryam natural horsehide with natural vibram wedge.

Hate that I canceled my waxed flesh “quickstriker” order a couple years or so ago from S&S. The Wesco Engineer collection would’ve been complete, possibly…

[SourPower]

@bluemantra nice, it’s good to know Maryam seems to be an option if I call them directly. Thinking about building some JH Classics soon…

[SourPower]

@northsouthdenimguy incredible collection! You ought to get a pair on a wedge sole if you like the look, I am always reaching for my short stacks because of how comfortable they are.

[mudhogen]

@northsouthdenimguy such a sick collection!

Is this pair burlap?

[northsouthdenimguy]

@SourPower

I love a good wedge, I have some Viberg ropers and some Nicks on a wedge, but Wesco would be nice…

[northsouthdenimguy]

@mudhogen

These are British domain tan domain rough out

[Luijim78]

@northsouthdenimguy a really amazing collection my friend… congratulations

[bluemantra]

@SourPower Yeah, I think they are phasing it out, but Chris said he'd order a hide for me. The Maryam in natural was the best to me.

@SourPower Beautiful. Maryam Tannery?
