Kato, fantastic engineers! Nice 50s profile. Enjoy em, and don't forget to update some pics from time to time to show their evolution

This is not good that the right top buckle has broken!

I believe they are called "2005 engineer last."

BTW, the pointed shape of the instep straps and top straps are cut by myself, making them more vintage-like

Wesco Boss
11"
Motor Patrol Toe

Nickel buckles

This is like straight up appreciation to me. Thx gents! Both of you have proper engineers; which is to say, my style

@Kato, are your MPs brown? They have patina'd perfectly.

@thinker, I'm going to have to do the same on my straps. That little bit of modification makes a big upgrade. Thx for the idea! Also, are the ones featured on Viberg's blog yours? I first saw those on John's blog, and thought "Damn, those are amazing!"

 

[Kato]

Yes.. It is brown.

One more picture of my Wesco Boos PT :

Hi bretron,
The ones featured on Viberg's blog and John's blog are mine. I gotta say John's blog inspires a lot of people who love engineer boots.
And, thanks for appreciating my boots. I will keep updating the boots once they got any evolution

my lofgrens, wearing them since may. Real comfortable boots

Those Lofgrens are amazing! It's such a pity that both Lofgrens and MF Road Champ don't make size 13s. I will get them without a second thought if they got 13s...

Thanks bretron
I wish Mister Freedom could make the Road Champs in size 13s. Then I could own a pair of perfect engineers in brown.

The Lone Wolves are sure to age well. The leather is Horween CXL, right?
Really expect to see the evolution in the future.
