      My new natty cxl mr lou’s just showed up.

      They are really nice! I don’t really know why I waited so long to get a pair of them. Now comes the fun part!

      The one boot has a little squeak in the midfoot that should hopefully work it’s self out in time.

            @kkibbey23 Those are a lovely looking boot.  Can I ask if that is a special order leather custom build?  The colour of your boots look lighter than both the CXL and horsehide Brown IH/Wesco Mr Lou's?

            There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.

              No, they aren’t a custom makeup. I grabbed these from standard and strange in California. They are natural CXL

              Here’s the store link to the build[emoji41]

              https://standardandstrange.com/collections/wesco/products/mister-lou-engineer-boot-natural-cxl?variant=37705726230701

              They also have them on the Wesco Website if standard and strange is out of your size.

                Wearing theses today. This natural cxl is impressive stuff😎

                I’ve still got a pretty good squeak going on in the right foot. I talked with Chris and if it doesn’t go away after some wear I will send them back and get the heel redone.

                  @kkibbey23 , fyi @filthy recently solved a similar squeaky boot problem on a Viberg by drilling fine holes into the inner sole and injecting some oil into them. Apparently with great success. I’ll add the link to his post if I find it.

                  The journey is the objective.

                      Every time I see a pair of Wesco black boots, I'm swayed closer and closer to buying a pair. Those look clean and great!

                              …wow! Ordered a pair of custom boots from the folks at Wesco on March 4th and recently on my account site it said that they were currently being built.

                              ...well, I was just contacted through email from Karen at Wesco and it looks like I'll be waiting an additional 10-12 weeks! :o They're behind 5-6 weeks in the factory due to a plethora of issues and they now have to bump out production times to 24+ weeks!! :o

                              ...they're not accepting any 'rush' orders at all. Karen said she's been working for Wesco for 21 years and has never seen it this busy! Not a bad problem to have but being buried probably is not fun.

                              ...so it looks like its going to be awhile until I don my first pair of custom Wesco's! 🙂 It's all cool. 😎 Glad I got in in when I did. 😉

                                  Love the traditional/deluxe styling. I’d be super happy if they were mine.

                                  @vaquero357 while that does suck, all I can say is that in my experience the wait is worth it. Looking forward to seeing them here.

                                      Got the same email as I have a custom build in the works.  As many IH fans here know: IWHWIH.  Quality takes time, glad they aren't compromising to hit schedule (like most other businesses).

                                            Since it takes so long for the custom build, I just ordered the natural CXL Mr. Lou to shorten the wait  ::) 😃
