…don’t worry, that too shall pass

Jules acquired these purple beauties recently which is a tenuous link I know

@popvulture:

Could I opt for chrome nickel buckles?

Yep

[goosehd]

I’ve been working with @Giles and @Chesson to have these made in purple…smooth side out

Can’t wait to see how they will turn out.

Going to be very nice @goosehd

Very nice is somewhat of an understatement…Sick AF is more like it.

So funny @goosehd I came here to say brushed gunmetal hardware would really pop with that leather not even knowing if it was an option.

I do love the brass too.

@goosehd dude hell yeah awesome idea for sure!!!

[goosehd]

Thanks guys!  It will be a fun build.

[Giles]

Any excuse to break them in…..

The purple is not something I would buy or wear (for now) but I must say they look awesome and Wesco has once again delivered on the execution.

Can I ask if these are hand lasted vs steam lasted?

[Giles]

Hand lasted.

[goosehd]

Where did the name “Mr. Lou” come from or what is the reference?  Feel like I am missing something.

Also, looking damn good!!

[Jett129]

I’ve heard Chris from Wesco talk about it,maybe on Iron Cast,but it’s a reference/tribute ,I think,to someone from Wesco. I’m guessing someone can fill in the details.

  Thank you!

I wondered what that dog looked like. Thanks for sharing the photo @Giles he looked like a cool lil guy.

I don't need another pair of Wesco engineers, but here I am, tempted.
