WESCO-MRLOU-PUR - Wesco® - 10" Horsehide "Mister Lou" - "The Purpetrator"

[Ross]

@goosehd saw every pair of these and can confirm none had zippers from the factory

@Ross Just curious...Can you even get zippers from the factory? Just because I've never seen them,doesn't mean it's not an option.. After posting this ,I went to the site and they don't offer zippers.

[Ross]

@Jett129 not an option as far as I know. Not on any of their options lists and I've certainly never seen a pair of Wescos of any variety zippered from factory

[Jett129]

@Ross From what I can gather,Wesco won't even do it if you supply the zippers.

@Jett129 Not up to Wesco standards, so my guess is a local cobbler. I’ll take em though, they look great w Jeans

[Jett129]

@Denimhead-0 You’re absolutely right and you didn’t have to wait 14 months for them.

[Ross]

@Jett129 I must admit I've never asked or been asked before but I'd be surprised to the extreme if they did.

The MrLou is an engineer boot after all - being a pull-on is one of the defining characteristics, let alone the production difficulties involved sewing a zip in through horsehide while maintaining the durability that Wesco pride themselves on

Chris would not do any customizations on the Mr Lou when someone in the store asked him on one of my visits. Size/fit adjustments only.
