Haraki started Iron Heart in 2003, right?

2002

That'd be why it's our 20th anniversary next year….

[Chris]

Yeah, that's what I was trying to remember. Obviously, I'm not paying appropriate attention.

…my custom Wesco boots have been being built for the last two weeks according to my account. Anyone know how long it takes to build a custom Wesco boot from first stitch to completion?

...I didn't pop for the expedited build ( they received my order March 4 ) so its been a wait.

...guess I'll find out soon enough, just curious.

I wanna know the answer to that question as well, @vaquero357 – I'm about to place an order for a pair myself! Which boot you get?

I put in an order for another pair back in March and just got an email saying they won't be done until late September or early October. Apparently they have more orders than ever before and they're just extremely backed up due to the massive amount of sales. All of my other pairs have taken between 3-6 months to show up at my house from the time I put in an order.

Lead times from Wesco vary depending on how much they have going on. I’ve been quoted between 12-16weeks before.

[Alex]

They are working on 16weeks + at the moment I am afriad

[Giles]

The question was not how long from placing order, it was how long to build…

But again, this will vary with how busy they are....

[vaquero357]

…@Giles that is correct sir!

...@Henry_david Black 11" Harness Boots, Brass Rings and Boss Toe...knife pocket also.

...@Palmer just checked my account again and it still states 'your boots are being built now'!

[Chris]

As to the question of how long a pair takes to actually build, I know a pair of cowboy boots can be made by hand in about a week. I'd expect boots with more automation would probably be a day or two shorter in total hours for construction.

That said, @Chris at Wesco is going to be the man with the definitive answer.

Will the 23oz "Ultra Heavy Selvedge Serge" fabric ever see the light of day again?

Rocking my green IH-714's reminded me how awesome this fabric is!

[Giles]

Never say never, but I know of no plans…..

[UnTucked]

Okay, well I'll just be sure to make these two pairs last as long as possible!

Can’t seem to figure out why I’m not getting notification of new posts in threads I’ve previously posted in? Any help would be appreciated.

Check your settings. There’s an option to cross off for that which may have been unchecked by accident.

I am having the exact same problem. I haven't gotten a forum email in a month. Something is definitely broken.

Edit: I have a tendency to exaggerate… The last one was June 28th. But they come in sporadic and not instantaneously like before.

[Jett129]

I changed 2 things,that I couldn’t,previously,seem to find. Let’s see if this helps.  Just saw that Alex had tagged me in a post this morning,but I didn’t get any notification. Strange.
