I commissioned a pair of Mr. Lou’s from Chris at Wesco. Was really inspired by @Giles green and brown boots. Chris didn’t have anything green at the time that I liked, so I sourced some Golf Green Horween and had it drop shipped to Oregon. The shaft will match my GAH wallet, and there might be enough hide left over for a belt… we will see. I am also having the GAH buckles installed. Ordered Dec ‘22. Expected Dec ‘23.
Some pics:
where did you get those buckles?

Chris at Wesco sourced them for me. He’s dealing directly with Josh and Rachel at GAH.

@Giles The Shop Vancouver is taking pre-orders for olive chromexcel Wesco Mr. Lou’s - so if the green burlap isn’t available, possibly the olive chromexcel is available and the roughout of this leather could be used as an alternative to the green burlap. It wouldn’t be an exact rerun, but something similar. Just a suggestion. Really like the look of this boot. Thanks. John
Chris at Wesco is going to look at getting me a few hides......

@Giles so great to hear - thanks!! Will be looking forward to placing my order for these and getting them into my rotation. Will these be a preorder like the purps or a batch of different sizes made and then sold after manufactured? Also, how much is it to upgrade to the GAH buckles? Thanks again! John

@Giles understood - fingers crossed for the hides - thanks.

@Giles bummer, but totally thanks for trying to bring these back for another run. Looking forward to getting into the “purps” in a few months and I’m sure IH will come up with another unique IHxWesco engineer boot makeup in the future. John

Yep.

Bought these navy horsehide Wesco engineers from Baker’s last July (2022). Have only worn weekends and haven’t conditioned them yet. It’s the fastest and most interesting patina I’ve experienced with a boot. The vamp and heel that is exposed has dramatically turned a greenish- brown whereas the shaft has remained navy. A rather interesting color combination.
