RE: Y’2 Leathers….
Thank you so much !! Can’t tell you how helpful those couple shots were ! Think I’ll go up a size to a 42 to give myself a bit of room for layering.

RE: Y’2 Leathers….
@Anesthetist & @Autorotate - Thanks again for the help sizing; I ordered a 40 & 42 to compare and while the 42 fit; it was a bit too boxy in the chest (shoulders were slightly big which resulted in it fitting too loose w/ just a T-shirt on; fit was better with heavy layering). 40 allows me to wear a heavy sweater or t-shirt ++ flannel underneath which frankly is all I’d need. Grabbed a black and a tan

RE: Y’2 Leathers….
@prpx agreed; worn mine through rain, snow; has undergone indego transfer; kids hot chocolate spill; countless whiskey and dark beer spills, dog slobber and still looks new. Oil transfer around the neck is the biggest visual difference after a while however you can either get the nap to stand back up with a suede brush/eraser which covers this up or a little baking soda can soak it up and then dust it off. Wear it in good health !

@SonnyTheElder oooooooooh !! I got the same Scar but I’m a 40, so still waiting for those to come in. How pink did it arrive ? Does it have an inner pocket or two since there is a lining? Suggest you wear it and work the buttons during the hot sunny months; that broke in my ib140 buttons like a charm

….. In my case, it's close to my skin color, so I need to wear it out and get some sun so it diminishes the "it puts the lotion on the skin" Buffalo Bill vibe.🪣🧴

RE: WESCO-MRLOU-NATH - Wesco® - 10" Horsehide Engineer Boot - Natural. The "Mister Lou"
@bluemantra the rough out jobmasters are amazingly comfortable. The leather is thick but really pliable and the lace to toe allows me to dial in the fit just right. They are really heavy though.

RE: WESCO-MRLOU-NATH - Wesco® - 10" Horsehide Engineer Boot - Natural. The "Mister Lou"
Fit question for the forum. Received my pair on Thursday and got to try on yesterday. For context I’m in between a 10 and a 10.5 redwing and a 10.5 in converse chuck 70s, I have a pair of the jobmaster all black suede flat soles from The Shop (10D) and my brannock is a 10.5B. I purchased a 10D in these Mr. Lous. Currently I can get the boot on, some heel slip (minimal / acceptable) and I can wiggle my toes they are about 1/8 to a 1/4 inch from the front of the boot. My big toe does feel like it’s pushing on the top of the boot due likely to the lower volume in the front. If I remove the insoles they fit better but obv more comfortable with them in from a cushion perspective. Recommendation from the group if this sounds like a good engineer boot fit? I should have purchased both the 10D and 10.5D for comparison but that wasn’t an option. Curious how these break in (ie fit when brand new vs after a bit of wear). New territory for me here in the engineering boot category hence the call for help. Much thanks !
