RE: WESCO
@setyoustraight not bad! They look similar to my CXL minus the half sole and brass buckles. Wish Wesco would put CXL in the regular selection instead of having it as a request only leather.

RE: Pictures of your Wescos!
Thanks! The leather is teacore, which I believe is the same for Whites.

RE: WESCO
Has anybody here polished their buckles on their Boss/Mister Lou yet? Wesco Sentayga posted on instagram their version of polishing and I was wondering if anybody here has done it before?

RE: WESCO
Just gave them a condition and clean. This Collonil 1909 stuff is amazing! The Chromexcel leather really ate it up. The Bick5 is for inside cleaning of the boot. Collonil goat hair brush.

RE: WESCO
Having used Saphir myself on both Horsehide(Horween) and Chromexcel leather Boss, I feel there’s probably a better leather conditioner out there for the leather IMO. I’m deciding between either using Collonil or Tapir for my black Chromexcel boss boot. Not a fan of the water spots that Saphir produces when the leather gets wet.
As for the boot jack, I personally love mine and get a kick out of it when I whip it out during security line at the airport to take my boots off. People have that “wtf” look when I use mine lol.

RE: WESCO
What kind of black leather is this? Domaine, oil tan or horse? I'm trying to order black engineers before the wait time gets too long (12-14 months is already crazy).
It’s Black Chromexcel. Unlike Brown Chromexcel, It’s an unlisted leather choice so you have to request it when ordering.

RE: WESCO
It’s going to cost you bigly, but you can get your boots rebuilt by Wesco to go down in a width or up in width. I had a MP toe boss in D width once that was too narrow later rebuilt in E width. You can find them posted in this thread. It’s the Horween Horsehide one.

RE: WESCO
Question for those that have custom built Wescos: What are the advantages and disadvantages to adding a lining inside the boot?
I have a lined boss boot. I liked it because it holds its shape better and just feels better overall. It was hot wearing them during the summer though.

RE: WESCO
I was just going to ask if there is anyone here doing that. I just grabbed a pair of CXL mister Lous and was going to join too… maybe we should start a thread on the forum for those of us here who are in it…

I’d be happy to enter my “leather Jacket” CXL Boss boot into the mix.

RE: WESCO
Been seeing this insole being sold on Rakuten through retailers that sell White’s and Wesco so I bought them through Bakers Boots.I placed these into my Wesco Boss and they make my boots feel like sneakers with how comfy they are now.
