IHWE-PO - Iron Heart Int'l x Wesco® - 8" Rough-Out Burlap Pull-On Boot

[Dstauffer]

Hey @Giles I just confirmed with Wesco my size for these and am wondering if any more 11Ds will be in restock.

[Giles]

Restock is due very soon (inc 11D)

[Dstauffer]

Sweet! I let these slide by when they were first released and have sincerely regretted it.

[Dstauffer]

@Giles I know you said the restock is due soon and you pretty much pass on information as you find it out, but I was wondering if you knew if the restock expected this month or in May? We are in the process of selling our house so I am just trying to anticipate expenses accordingly. Thanks!

[Giles]

I think it'll be a May restock….

[Dstauffer]

@Giles any word from Wesco on when the restock will be available?

Hoping to pick these up before the F/W releases eat up all my money…

[Giles]

I have a  load of boots inbound, I hope that these are amongst them….

[Dstauffer]

Thanks boss. Ordered…and a very needy shipping email just sent...please be patient with me as we are in the process of moving right now  :o

[Giles]

@Alex  is on the shipping issue for you….

[Dstauffer]

All resolved. Per usual, world class customer service. Thanks for all your help @Alex

[Alex]

Anytime, @Dstauffer

[Dstauffer]

Pleased as fecking punch with these! I have never owned a pair of pull on boots that I have been this excited about. Fantastic fit straight out of the box!

I wish all American things could be this "Authentically American"

They really are brilliant. The only thing that stopped  me was the fact that I have some narrow hemmed jeans in rotation and I don't think the short shaft and straps would play well. Great buy!

[Dstauffer]

@neph93 for reference, in those pics I am wearing a 634 cut with an approximate 10" hem. The hems are a bit snug in my 666s (cuffing them seems to give a bit more clearance, but I can't decide if I like these with cuffed denim or not as I am not a huge "cuff" guy), so your point is well made regarding a narrower hem with these boots.

I actually prefer a boot cut with snugger thigh and wider hem. 634s are the closest cut IH has to that in the XHS (my all time favorite fabric), so IMHO, the hem of the 634 really works well with this particular boot build. That being said, its only my opinion and my experience with my style as I have seen others pull off a narrow hem with this kind of boot brilliantly

[Dstauffer]

@Giles any idea on what should be done as far as treating these? I have read a lot of varying opinions on the internet about treating roughout, so I am curious as to what your suggestion would be.

Well done on these by the way. My favorites pull-ons ever and I've only had them a few days.

[Giles]

I do nothing, I really am not sure what you can do that won't change the nature of the rough out….

[Dstauffer]

Perfect. That's what I kept reading too, that the best treatment was just to beat em up. Thanks!

[Chris]

The only thing I've heard consistently from bootmakers is to occasionally brush them off with a suede brush or something similar. That's just to get rid of some of the dust and dirt, really.  I know a guy who has worn the same pair of rough out boots most days for probably a decade and I'm not even sure he takes that much care with them.
