My hope is that government incompetency worked out in my favor.  I was at the PO before it opened and retrieved it from the parcel room directly, I don't think it occurred to them to charge duty.

I just LOVE the storm welt…  It looks cool and when you study it it looks like they folded the welt bead themselves, I don't think they used an off the shelf welt, though I could be wrong.

Congrats!!!

If the teaser photo of his upcoming work boots is and indication, the Goodyear storm welts may be stock.

Word, whatever the case, I love em!  The buckles also arrived, I look forward to having those installed on the RCs, thanks!

Not to beat a dead horse, but I have to say I can't believe how great these are right out of the box. The fit is SOOO perfect. Crazy awesome

[mclaincausey]

Yeah, there's zero break-in, I feel like my feet are being lovingly embraced….  I put an insole for thin socks, and for thick socks none needed.  That's the definition of a perfect fit for me.

Yeah no kidding!!  Great posts/pics.  These boots are the real deal.

Chiba I like your style. Now that I have the black CXL, the Cognacs are an inevitability.

I really never liked the look of engineer boots, they just don't strike me right… UNTIL you show em with some jeans on... then they look pretty damn solid.

Boots are looking great guys. Congrats. My JL's are my only engineers, so I can't compare, but I have found them to be very comfortable. Looking forward to putting them back on in another month or so, when the weather cools.

It's incredible how these boots look so much better and better with age.

Also known as "assume the position"

[tatmantall]

I'm pretty sure its the same leather used on the flathead X viberg collab

[Chiba J.]

put something new on, that record is broken

[tatmantall]
