Offered for sale are a pair of Clinch by Brass Tokyo Classic Narrow brown engineer boots sz US 10 / Clinch 11
MSRP $1056
See http://panchoandlefty.se/product/clinch-narrow-engineer-boots-brown
I can unequivocally say they are the highest quality boots I've ever handled. Completely hand made using very robust Horween natural latigo and hand dyed by Brass at the very end of production. They exceed others in both the attention to detail and construction quality IMO. Think: Attractions made by Wesco.
But as much as I love them, they're just not working out for me.
Fit is generally described as TTS on these (eg sz 10 in Brannock, Converse All Stars and Wesco). However, I find the last to be pretty narrow in every aspect (overall width and depth of the toe box). Accordingly, you may find them better fitted when sizing up (eg sz 9.5 in Brannock, Converse All Stars, and Wesco). If I were to do it over again, I'd probably order the next size up myself.
The boots have been sitting on the shelf for all but about a dozen wears for me. They're just uncomfortable enough that I opt to wear other boots. As a result, they remain in very good condition apart from a very small split in the leather at the toe/welt of the left boot, as pictured below. I noticed this blemish after a few wears when applying a coat of Saphir. I was completely bummed at first. However, after checking with two different cobblers, both whom told me they thought it was purely cosmetic, I was able to put my mind at ease and move on. It's almost impossible to see without very careful inspection, but it's there regardless and you are buying them as-is.
First $600 gets them (free shipping conus, actual shipping for international buyers). They will be carefully packaged and shipped along with the original box.
No offers will be considered for now. I'm just not that motivated to part ways with em.
