Samples - New Products We Are Working On

[Karol]

@AdamJ how is the work on the IH-555S-19Lod that you mentioned in 2023?

[Alex]

@Karol i think you probably know the answer to this question based on @JoshC 's post earlier

[Karol]

@Alex It might be I seen it, but if it was the one, I considered it to be focus on the ongoing offering. This was more of an exploration if you want to do jeans in 19Lod right?
I double check all post by @JoshC , thanks!

[Karol]

@Alex and @JoshC I found it, it was the same I seen earlier. When I saw there the reference to the 19Lod I assumed this was for the existing jacket (IH-526Lod), and then I remembered that old post by @AdamJ about the possible IH-555S-19Lod. Is it safe to say that 19Lod will come as jeans?

[Alex]

@Karol maybe...

[Karol]

@Alex Perfect!

Hi all, I wanted to share a new Wesco sample we have been working on, interested to hear some feedback from everyone. We really liked the idea of a two tone boot, charcoal rough out/ black horsehide, something utilitarian/military looking solid boot. We have decided we are going to lower the heel by two lifts, the charcoal rough out looks a bit a green on the sample so we are going to darken that up a bit if we decide to run the boots. Keen to hear some thoughts !

[Bridger]

Looks like a classic!

However, I really like the heel and would not go lower.

[goosehd]

Agree…lug sole needs the heel height

Balances the look of the boot.

[NickD]

Yup, heel height looks spot on.

[Chap]

Yep please don't lower the heels would ruin the whole boot. Colour combo is great.

It would be very cool if you did make a green version. Dark green roughout paired with a dark brown smooth would be nice. I'm looking at a custom pair of Jim Greens with this combo and it looks fantastic (even though their green is actually a little too light).
Also, if you ever do a 3E width that would be amazing. I'm stuck with some other brands I don't necessarily prefer just because they offer 3E off the shelf.

@indigo_fades almost like this?

One of my fave builds......

[indigo_fades]

@Alex Yes, that's pretty dang close to what I was picturing! Perhaps a little darker on the brown in my mind, but I hadn't even considered a lace-to-toe version. I love the way that looks. I don't have all the OG knowledge (just learned about IH in the past couple years), so finding out about cool things you guys did in the past is good for me. Thanks for taking the time to pull up that link; it's exactly why I appreciate this forum so much.

@Jack these are amazing. Agree on the others about the heel, keep it like the sample, this is exactly how a boot like this should look. Also I like the color of the roughout. I'd actually prefer if it was even more olive

Thanks for all the feedback guys, looks like we might be leaving the heel as is !

[northsouthdenimguy]

From an aesthetic standpoint, the heel height is perfect. It’s not necessarily a boot I’d wear myself, but it’s a beautiful design. I get why a lot of people prefer a lower heel, but in my opinion, that really takes away from what makes the boot visually striking.

[Giles]

And a higher heel is counterintuitively, more comfortable for long days on your feet....
