Dyed a belt and matched the studs to the buckles of my Lofgren's
What is that style of belt??? I really love that style. I have no idea where to find them, and no amount of google searching has turned up shit!

^ Some of the more common names are "biker belts," "Indian belts," "vintage western belts," "sovenir belts." I personally made this belt and have tons of other designs inspired by the original 1930's - 1950's belts of the time that I create.

It's like an engineer festival around here, about time too! @vintage_engineer_boots:

Yeah man I really like the skulls you made out of spots on one of your belts, awesome.

^Thanks! I'm actually tempted to make one of those for myself.
*Noticed I spelled "souvenir" wrong earlier.
Getting back to boots (kind of) … sent a pair to THE Cobler himself today

^Hehe! You've got the fever!!!
Here's my first every pair of Engineer Boots purchased in 1991 in a small shop in San Jose, California. They're were made by Double H and cost about $90. I wore these like it was no ones business (that's all natural patina). Notice the western style heels. They didn't start off that way - I wore the heels down so far before the initial re-heel that the cobler had no choice but to reshape them. I had the heels replaced at least six or seven times over the span of four years. I believe my parents still have these boots somewhere in their home.
