Limited Edition Black Bison Mr Lou

Any of you guys ever try to give up meat? I have several times, and it never works out. My bench at the gym goes down, and I just feel tired and anemic all the time. I gave up red meat twenty years ago. I was a full-on pescatarian for a couple of years in the early aughts, but eventually I went back to poultry because I love chicken too much, and the heart wants what the heart wants. For the last couple of years, I've been on a kick with Japanese and custom-made engineer boots. I sold off my WESCO collection, swore I was done with the brand, and became a half-assed "Lofgretarian." I was basically an "Unsungitarian" for a while. I'd even say I was a "Flame Pandatarian." But these WESCO Black Bison Mister Lou's are sooooo nice that they've brought me back to the PNW table...

I'm just marveling at the finishing on this pair. You know what this is like? This is like when you're in a relationship with a really gorgeous stripper who happens to be a vegetarian. Everywhere you go, it's always noodles this and salad that, but she's so smokin' and the sex is so good that you're just like, fuck it, her diet is probably healthier for me anyway, so you bite the bullet and become a reluctant vegetarian. Then one day your friends call you up and say, "Hey, we got tickets to the hockey game. You wanna go?" So you meet up, you're sitting there watching the Rangers, and your buddy flags down the vendor and hands you a hot dog slathered in mustard. You take a bite and with tears welling up in your eyes, you're just like: "OH MY GOD. THIS IS SO FUCKING GOOD."

This Black Bison Lou is like that...It's so fucking good...

Loose Grain or Poor Clicking

Is this just poor clicking or do I need to be worried about loose grain on the left boot? Aesthetic doesn’t bother me but just want to make sure they hold up.

BOTD 16” Wesco Highliner

These don’t see much summer wear, but I broke them out today. Can’t wait until we get some cooler weather so I can wear them more frequently.

NBD rebuild

High liners I got off eBay and sent in to Wesco in June and here they are in August! Burlap Roughout lowers and wedge sole, kept the patch black, went down from 11 1/2 D width to 11 C

Fit and finish are outstanding

original build date 2006!

Just received these from an online retailer who happened to have my size in stock. How would the users here handle this situation?

These have been in stock in my size for several weeks with a reputable online retailer. After weeks of being on the fence about it, I decided to go through with buying them. This is my first pair of Wescos, and my first pair of >$500 pair of boots. I was pretty disappointed to see this scuffing damage on the boots when I opened the box. I purchased these as factory firsts and paid full price.

Is this common? Should I reach out to the retailer? Should I just look into getting them repaired locally? Is this not that big of a deal? Obviously, I bought these to wear them, and knew that scuffing them up was a part of owning boots, but I’ve bought factory second Red Wings that were in way better shape than these. I’m genuinely not sure how to respond.

I’m curious to hear the community’s thoughts.

Spokane Fires - Stronger Together Campaign

Hey All,

We are partnering with White's and Frank's to support recovery efforts in the wake of the Spokane Fire Complex.

We are offering a shirt together and will be donating all profits to the Spokane HOME fund which funnels money to efforts to rebuild and repair damage from the fires.

The shirt is available here:

https://nicksboots.com/products/complex-fire-donation-t-shirt

And is also available on White's website:

https://whitesboots.com/products/stronger-together-graphic-t-shirt

In addition to the profits, each purchase enters the buyer into a chance to win a pair of MTOs with each brand offering 5 pairs valued at up to $850, for a total of 15 pairs to 15 winners.

I would also like to highlight that White's has donated 50 pairs to support fire victims and that both we and White's have been offering various goods and services to support the effort at the base camp throughout the week. Nicks will also be donating a portion of August's overall sales to the HOME fund. I'd expect this number to be around $30-$40K depending on how the month goes and we will be transparent about all proceeds and where they go.

We thank you for any support as we get through this together.

Wesco Mr Lou, Black Bison

Custom? Limited Edition? Special Run? Not sure what to call these. Only 30 pairs made. Ended up being a 3 week lead time for me and since I live 45 minutes from Scappoose they arrived overnight as always.

These are impressive. Probably one of the most flawless boots I’ve seen Wesco produce and I’ve always gotten pretty lucky on their build quality.

Also pretty cool that the Nick’s mystery belt that I got this week also happened to be in black bison. What are the odds?

Similarity between Boss and Nomad

firstly I‘m not using english for main language so my english is so bad Sorry

https://youtu.be/1dKGJLNJ7wE?si=CPtcgE4Fy6sxn0_M

I saw a video that Vice president of White‘s was studied Vintage wesco engineer, And White’s made a engineer

so I searched Similarity between Boss and Nomad
before 2021 White’s used 9169 last for nomad
and It has very similarity with 9165last of Wesco
And Model Number also MB9165

And it has Very similar shape both engineer boots

I wonder that Is Nomad referenced Wesco boss?
