You mean the HTC Santa Rosa?

Yes.

I only have a pair of deadstock Santa Rosa logger.

What jeans does everyone wear w their boots? I find that those jeans that look good w loafers dont work w engineer boots (too small hem opening..)

 

[Blackadder]

Regular straight, regular or slim boot cut.

That's always been a problem with engineers. I'm finding that the Gustin straight jeans work as well as anything. There's always boot jeans, but I've never been crazy about them.

An 8" hem works OK but 8.5 is better. But 8.5 doesn't look the greatest with slimmer shoes, IMO

So nice! Breton look away. Wesco veg tan with Dr Sole, John Lofgren wide buckle on wide straps.

Kato, those look fantastic. Is Horween Latigo a thicker/stiffer leather than Chromexcel? Can you tell us how much those cost?

It is very thick ( 3mm ) and so stiff as well , it is 131,000yen including shipping

Very nice! I didn't realise they could do engineers out of the veg tan? I was to.d it was too thick? Where did you get them from?

I found them on a Wesco veg tan google search. They were a Japanese custom build ordered thru @classic_works.

Not sure who's bench but fairly sure Wesco's bench will have a pair of veg tanned Western toe harness boots in about 10 weeks. I can't help myself and I know you won't help me.....................

Cheers! Last time I checked they didn't do engineers in this leather as it was too stiff.

I noticed on Muskhaven's instagram account they said they could do pull up boots in veg tan. All they've ordered so far is the Jobmaster tho.

Same ones I wear with all my other footwear - 30s cut, wide legs, high waist.

That's always been a problem with engineers. I'm finding that the Gustin straight jeans work as well as anything. There's always boot jeans, but I've never been crazy about them.

Bootcut? Meh. They're not "bootcut", they're stealth flares.

SJC are prepping to unleash its Hump Boot next week. Looks nice. Three colours: tan, black, damson:

Ohhhhh! I want them all!

I'll have to start with just one, though.... I think the Damson.

 

[Sloan1874]

I think so too. I didn't realise that the Balmoral Boot was coming out too. I'm conflicted but I reckon it's the Hump boot for me this time.

Yes, It is both thicker and stiffer than CXL. It cost me 131000yen including shipping.

Here is my Clinch after break in within 30mins XDD...
