Wesco Boots Wesco X Brooklyn Clothing Custom Mister Lou Mahogany Chromexcel - E Width

About this product

Wesco's MP1339 last is a E width and runs slightly large, so we recommend sizing down one half size from your properly measured Brannock size, or standard US sneaker size. If you have a very wide foot, consider going true to size. Each boot also includes a leather footbed, which can be removed to provide more volume or to accomodate a different insole.

We are proud to announce our new collection of custom Wesco Boots makeups, made exclusively to commemorate Brooklyn Clothing’s 37th anniversary. Crafted from richly toned Horween Chromexcel leathers, this release features two special makeups: the Mister Lou Engineer Boot in deep Mahogany Chromexcel, and the Henrik Boot offered in three distinctive shades; Olive, Timber, and Calvados Chromexcel.

Chromexcel is a hot-stuffed combination tanned leather that goes through a lengthy tanning process at Horween's facility in Chicago. The end product is a soft, supple, and flexible hide packed full of oils, which gives Chromexcel the excellent pullup that it is known for - when the leather is flexed or bent, the oils are displaced and beautiful tonal highs and lows become visible. CXL only gets better with age, and taking care of the leather is as simple as it gets. Frequent brushing will blend scuffs and bring wicked patina, while the inherent oils in the hide keep it from drying out quickly.

The Mister Lou is Wesco's modernized take on the classic American engineer boot, so the usual bulbous toebox and wide boot shaft have both had their volume reduced. The almond toe shape gives the Mister Lou a sleeker silhouette than more traditional engineer boots, but the classic silhouette has not been sacrificed - we have retained the height of the usual logger heel, and the lower profile toebox actually lends itself to a more vintage, less-moto boot style. Built upon Wesco's MP1339 last, these are…
