    Red Wing 2268 Engineer boots 10 EE (seconds, but perfect as new) EBay

    Bought these in my engineer boot quest. I have decided to hunt down the patina of an older pair instead. But if you want some perfect new ones that are near impossible to find in the U.S. look no more. See Ebay auction for pricing and other info...

    Red Wing 2268 Engineer boots (9.5) mid 80s Pre-PT, vertical tag, EBay

    Pretty patina. Great condition. Only selling because they are a hair small on me. See my Ebay auction for more pics, info and pricing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Red-Wing-2268-Vintage-Engineer-motorcycle-boots-Patina-verticle-tag-9-5-/272097278898?

    Well now I went and done it, my engineer quest

    Hey Mike. Nice to see ya here. My FP3 is running without a hitch. It's been so trouble free I forget it's there. Bike runs great too. I did really dig those Ace engineers, but I had so many insoles loaded in them to make them fit, it just seemed silly. If I only knew about guys like Brian with...

    Well now I went and done it, my engineer quest

    You guys and gals saw my previous threads on my U.S. made engineer quest. Thought I had it all figured out with Chippewa 27899s that arrived in fine shape after getting a defective pair. But on a lark, I bought some used Red Wing 2268s off Ebay. Someone had them blacked out at the heel, but I...

    Laugh to keep from crying Chippewa engineer boots

    Fingers crossed for you, Bob. Hopefully my one bad experience was an anomaly because of Amazon hijinks.

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    I did. But they were always too big, so I regrettably had to sell them. Great boots. They were a great thrift store find, but no matter how thick the socks or insoles, they were floppin' around.

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    The thing about engineers, if they are old, with honest wear, they look good. These are just plain old MIM Frye Rogans. No fake aging. Just me on my motorcycle and kicking around L.A. Alas, I think I'll be parting with my old friends. This thread has given me the Made in USA engineer bug. :)

    Help me keep my RoleClub-rebuilt Red Wing 2268 Engineer boots...

    Brian did a wonderful job. There's no question he's precise and exacting in his work. But even the best craftsmen can go a little too far with the fit adjustments. I had a great leather worker tailor a Vanson motorcycle jacket that I had to buy too large because it was rather rare. He did a...

    Chippewa Engineer boots size help!

    I've been trying on Chip Engineers for the last few weeks, Monitor. That included the 27899 and the Originals in Black Whirlwind. FYI, the Black Whirlwind Horween is pretty thin to the touch. I ordered the non steel version and decided even if I went steel toe, I wouldn't feel all that...

    Laugh to keep from crying Chippewa engineer boots

    Wow. That does sound like a disappointment, given Wesco's very good reputation. I hope Wesco makes it right for you. The replacement Chips come tomorrow. Hopefully they are top notch like all the other Chippewa Engineers I've seen and tried before this horrid pair came along.

    Laugh to keep from crying Chippewa engineer boots

    I get the replacements on Wednesday. Hopefully Amazon gets it right this time. Very strange this happened, and I let them know how disappointed I was. It's almost as if this was a test pair of boots for an inexperienced person, or persons, on the factory line. Like I said, I've tried several...

    Laugh to keep from crying Chippewa engineer boots

    I couldn't believe it. I had actually tried on other Chippewa in my quest, including other 27899s, and all of them were tip top. Pretty disappointing these made it past inspection. But then again, there were no tags and no inspection slip the way they arrived from Amazon. That was also very...

    Laugh to keep from crying Chippewa engineer boots

    Hi guys. Very occasional poster but appreciator of all your info here, particularly with boots and jackets. I ride a Harley and have been considering, and trying, U.S. made engineer boots for the last few weeks. I usually use a more technical boot for riding, but sometimes I like the look and...

    Absolutely beautiful work, as usual, Brian. Are these the Black Whirlwind Chips? Aging nicely to brown if so.

    Hometown Jersey: custom US made repro motorcycle jerseys

    Nice. Review please, also of how heavy the material is. Could be nice under my Perfecto or Vanson on the bike, or alone in the summer.
