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.

[Chiba J.]

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.

In the traditional, " giles show us your boots", position

Also known as "assume the position"

[demonito]

beacause of the crappy leather and price

[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]

[Chiba J.]

[mclaincausey]

watever . cheap leather on an expensive boot. dont match

[davito]

Ed whats wrong with the horween leather? I mean its used in almost every boot outthere for somewhat it speaks for its quality, doesnt it?

Great engineers guys thx for sharing and wear em well

@tatmantall:

I'll throw them on the scale this evening and see if that was close or an exaggeration

No rush, but am curious. What you feel is more important than the actual weight difference, should be interesting to see the results tho.

Thanks tatmantall, Chiba and  mclaincausey!!  I've been collecting Engineer Boots for over 22 1/2 years now and worked with pretty much every leather out there in my leather work and can say with complete confidence that these (and my RC's, of course) are my favorites of any pair I've owned.  John Lofgren's contribution to the Engineer Boot world has definitely upped the ante.
