@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

[Peterldavey]

@deanclean hope they do!

[northsouthdenimguy]

Got’em

[deanclean]

Amazing. All of them!

[Mizmazzle]

Outstanding!! The grain on this HH is so beautiful.

[Peterldavey]

@northsouthdenimguy so good and with no grain break!

[northsouthdenimguy]

@Peterldavey I got lucky…

[Oaktavia]

@northsouthdenimguy I like the contrasting WESCO stamp on these. They are going to evo so beautifully. If I didn't already have these in black and brown, I'd be all over these.

[northsouthdenimguy]

@Oaktavia thanks really looking forward to putting some wear on these boots. The leather is definitely a lot stiffer than my other Wesco engineers

[Oaktavia]

@Oaktavia The leather is definitely a lot stiffer than my other Wesco engineers

Oh for sure, my CXL Lou's are buttery soft and pliable compared to the density and stiffness of the horse I have in Maryam. Which leather do you have for your other pair?

[northsouthdenimguy]

@Oaktavia brown CXL, also have a pair of the British tan rough out Derroll boot from Ship John

[Oaktavia]

@northsouthdenimguy nice

[Eza]

@Ross Wow those are sexy!

[deanclean]

Pains me to say I just got back from the post office. I had to return mine. The fit just wasn’t right. I think for the most part it was good, but the shaft was very loose. I don’t know if my calves/legs are too skinny but they were swimming in there. Maybe I’m just not used to the style of boot.

[Peterldavey]

@deanclean oh damn sorry to hear that. Wesco shaft are usually very tight

[Johnnyutah247]

@Peterldavey mine were pretty hard to get on this morning and I was questioning the sizing, but after wearing them for a few hours they’ve loosened up considerably.

[Peterldavey]

@Johnnyutah247 that’s good to hear. I have a pair of rolling dub trio and they were tough to get on at first then over a few months became easier and moulded to my feee and now like a pair of slippers

[Johnnyutah247]

I have to admit, this is my first pair of horsehide boots. Is there any care or conditioning routine I should follow? I’ve always wore cxl boots and left them alone.
