    Wesco Boot Thread.

    So far I have nothing bad to report. I wear them regularly but in rotation with two other engineers. I am riding the bike in them, walk the dog through sunshine, mud and rain, work on the bikes in the shop, so I am not babying them. They age nicely. The oldest pair is over a year or so now...

    Gloves

    Thanks a lot. I really like them. Only if temperature falls well below 0C I can feel cold on long walks. That’s when I pull out the Hestra Fält Guide with the wool liner. Dexterity on the Crud ist very good, I can do work with them and can pull out a dog treat of the bag :) For riding in summer...

    Gloves

    I love my Crud gloves in elkskin. I have been wearing them this/past winter season almost everyday. Walking the dog, working outside, riding motorcycles on colder days. They served me very well so far and I believe they will last me long time. Sorry for the sloppy pic, just wanted to give you an...

    Wesco Boot Thread.

    The MP toe is sleeker than the boss. The boss bulkier/bulbous overall. As @Bfd70 mentioned, Wesco (Chris) is very responsive if you email them or contact them through Instagram.

    Comparison - Wesco Mr Lou to John Lofgren Engineer

    To which boot are you referring?

    Comparison - Wesco Mr Lou to John Lofgren Engineer

    I received in the meantime a stock Mr Lou in natural CXL, the custom build is still in progress. Size 9.5E works great for me (the Lofgrens are size 10. They are about the same length, but a bit narrower than the Lofgren). I get now what you mean with "wobbly" feeling walking in the Mr. Lou but...

    Comparison - Wesco Mr Lou to John Lofgren Engineer

    Just a quick heads up. I decided to go with a custom fit Wesco Boss boot in Burlap Roughout with the Mr Lou specs. That's solves (hopefully) the sizing question. Now the waiting time begins...

    Cleaning suede boots

    Fortunately, they are in good condition. Precautionary measures for this delicate leather ;)

    Cleaning suede boots

    Thanks. Yes I have some tan colored Chelsea's and actually have the cleaner here, just too scared to mess them up. I will give it a try. I am a big fan of their products.

    Will it darken the leather?

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Hey there, After silently reading and following the forum I finally joined. I am 38 years old from Switzerland, love riding my bike and am very much into denim, boots, flannels and craftsmanship. I love well made stuff. Cheers Dan

    Comparison - Wesco Mr Lou to John Lofgren Engineer

    Thanks for the welcome and reply, highly appreciated. Guess I will follow your recommendation and talk to Kyle for sizing. The instep is challenging but I got used to now and it gets better. I tried a pair of Clinch, which to me, are beautiful Engineers and extremely well made. Regardless of...

    Comparison - Wesco Mr Lou to John Lofgren Engineer

    Since you own both boots and I am currently looking into a Mister Lou. I have the Lofgren Engineer in a 10 and it fits perfectly in the right foot (slightly bigger than my left one) and a tad loose on the left, but nothing a half insole couldn't manage. I like the toe box and room inside. Width...
