Mister Lou - Tan Latigo

Wesco Mister Lou Engineer Boot – Tan Latigo (Wickett & Craig)

Crafted in the USA by Wesco, this version pairs the iconic Mister Lou silhouette with Wickett & Craig Tan Latigo leather, taken a step further with extra oiling — just like our last run of Jobmasters.

Wickett & Craig Tan Latigo 

This build features Tan Latigo leather from Wickett & Craig, one of the last true vegetable tanneries in the United States.

Latigo is a hybrid leather — veg tanned and hot-stuffed with oils and waxes — delivering:

• Strong structure with natural flexibility
• Rich pull-up and depth
• Excellent durability and wear resistance
• Smooth, consistent grain
• A patina that builds evenly over time

For this batch, we added extra oil content, giving the leather a more broken-in feel right out of the box along with deeper tone and enhanced movement.

This is not dry veg tan — this is dialed-in, ready-to-wear leather.

The Mister Lou Build

The Mister Lou is Wesco’s refined take on the classic engineer boot — slimmer, cleaner, and built to perform.

Specifications:

• Model: Mister Lou 7600
• Leather: Tan Latigo – Wickett & Craig 
• Height: 10” Engineer
• Last: MP Toe
• Heel: Standard Boss Heel Height
• Slimmer Leg Cut
• Solid Nickel Roller Buckles
• Vintage Triple Stitching on Uppers
• Dr. Sole Black Half Outsole & Heel
• Hand-Waxed Edges
• Handmade in USA

The Dr. Sole half outsole keeps the profile low while adding durability and traction.

Why This Pair Hits Different

Most veg-tanned boots take time to break in.

These don’t.

With the added oiling, you get:

• Faster break-in
• Immediate comfort and flex
• Stronger pull-up and color variation
• A head start on patina

They’ll darken, burnish, and develop character quickly — without sacrificing structure
