WESCO-MRLOU-NATH - Wesco® - 10" Horsehide Engineer Boot - Natural. The "Mister Lou"

[Ross]

I've just been told these are built from a veg-tanned Maryam Horsehide rather than a chrome tanned Horween horsehide. Please accept my apologies this was a miscommunication between us and Wesco.

If you've already ordered a pair I will be getting in touch shortly to make sure you're happy with this but did want to update on here as well for full disclosure.

@Ross even better!!!! Just replied to you email

[Johnnyutah247]

Sounds good @Ross. Thanks for reaching out. This will be my first pair of Wescos. Is the maryam preferred to the veg tanned leather ?
.

[Peterldavey]

@Johnnyutah247 it’s veg tan horsebutt leather instead of chrome tanned. Both our great leathers. Veg tanned imo age nicer however usually a little stiff at first. Chrome tan is usually softer at the start and easier to keep care of however aging isn’t usually so dramatic. Both have pros and cons.

Couldn't have said it better than @Peterldavey!

[Johnnyutah247]

Sweet! Looking forward to them even more. Hoping I made the right decision with the D width

[steelworker]

And thats why I like IH

[deanclean]

Just ordered what looks to be the last size 12. I really hope they fit. I have searched and asked tons of questions and called Wesco to get an idea on what size to get. At the end of the day it comes down to biting the bullet, ordering, and trying them on.

@deanclean thank god IH are so incredible. Worst case you can return them and get your money back. Hope they work though cause these are down right glorious!!

[Mizmazzle]

@Ross are you trying to make me buy these with this Veg tan update!!!?? Golly these are dope!

[deanclean]

@Mizmazzle exactly my thoughts. Returns are never an issue.

[TelemarkTumalo]

Damn Fine!

[northsouthdenimguy]

Picked up a pair, should be here Thursday. Always wanted the veg tanned, these are going to be sweet!

[Peterldavey]

They have arrived….

[Oaktavia]

@Peterldavey so sick! How are they feeling?

[pechelman]

all these pics making me slightly jealous but more importantly, very excited. I visited Wesco last July and put in a custom fit order for essentially this exact boot before it was announced. Probably have another ~6mo tho.

[Peterldavey]

@Oaktavia feel good, glad I made a mistake and ordered size E. A bit of grain break on the vamp however it’s good all

[Oaktavia]

@Peterldavey ah, I like the grain break, adds character!

[deanclean]

These look so awesome. Mine are meant to arrive today. Fingers crossed they fit!

[Peterldavey]

@Oaktavia haha that’s a positive attitude….i will adopt it
