They will all be in the Maryam. I spoke with @Chris at Wesco yesterday evening and the full restock is nearly complete, they will be with us before the end of the month.

@Chesson Is the brown horsehides also included in this upcoming restock?  Also, any update on the estimated restock timeframe?  Thanks!

[Chesson]

@John Galt there are no browns coming with this restock. Just the black at the moment. It won’t be until later in the year that the brown is back. The blacks will be here before the end of the month

Have these bad boys landed just yet?

[vaquero357]

…I second that question!

[Giles]

If they had, you'd know….

Just wanted to make sure Chesson & Co. hadn’t suffered some sort of industrial boot-related accident:

We are waiting for the last few pairs to complete.  Hoping for a big restock delivery in a week or two

[Weft 4 Dead]

Nice. Cheers Alex.

How does the Maryam differ from the previous horse? From pictures elsewhere it looks more shiny and I think I read somewhere it might fade to tea core more quickly than the previous hide? Looking forward to seeing these.

[Chesson]

@Nkwkfld you are right in both parts, the Maryam is shinier and it will age quicker. Horweens HH was chome and veg-tanned, meaning it was very reluctant to fade/age. Maryam's leather is just veg tanned. From what I have been hearing from Wesco, the Maryam hides are a lot cleaner. They are turning up with a very minimal amount of defects/scaring in comparison to Horweens.

I have just got off a call with @Chris at Wesco and these are going to be on their way to us VERY shortly. We will keep you all posted.

Thanks @Chesson that's all good news

The new version of this boot will be launching later today. First post updated, and new build details listed below.

@AdamJ:

The 10" pull-on black Wesco Engineer boots are back. In an all new full veg tanned Maryam Horsehide. All other features of the "Mister Lou" remain the same, in the way of a Dr. Sole half outsole and heel, 1 1/2" heel, and solid nickel roller buckles.

Named after Wesco boots' very own workshop pup, the "Mister Lou" horsehide pull-ons are a true ode to thoroughbred boot making. Built on the Motor Patrol 1339 last, with a streamlined leg shaft designed to fit under slim-cut jeans, a narrowed heel pocket to help eliminate heel slip, vintage Engineer triple upper stitching, and solid nickel hardware. These boots are man's best friend.

Such a beautiful leather.

[Nik]

They look great. Would get if I didn't need a custom lasted pair.

I got a very similar pair from another retailer last year. They were listed as Maryam Teacore Horsebutt. Look extremely similar to these, even down the the subtle pattern you can see in the hide. Curious if these happen to specifically be horsebutt as well?

I love my pair. Have way too many pairs of boots, all of which have been neglected since I got the Mr. Lou. I wear these nearly every day.
