      Kiya: "We'll have two oxfords and one engineer boot November 1st at SENY, SEPDX, and in our online store.  For the price they're very very good." If the engineers look like the first pair posted by mclain I'm interested…

        Yeah that first pair is really great.  Even the ones I'm not as big a fan of I think are very well made.

        Think it, be it.

          The first pair is good looking. They remind me of the Santa Rosa HTC zip sells. I'm not sure about the cobblering or the buckles being in relation to him though. The buckles don't look like the different options I have pictured zip fabs… Who knows though. The cobblering looks quite a bit simpler as well on what I see however they are drastically different than what I have seen done by "zip" before so again... Who knows..

          ** did notice the cat paw which majes  me think they might not be related as well as I have normally seen his cobblering to he fine with bilrite with the exception ofvthe HTC Santa risa that has some super rare half soled on them

            Junky in Ryogoku has a pic up, but they seem to be all sold out. Explains why I didn't see them when I was there today.

                more pictures…
                really nice...

                also similar with the RRL´s one.
                who is the Ace boots maker?
                can it be Julian?
                someone know more about it?

                                  According to Kiya the Ace engineers at SE will be $750. Now I'm really interested to see what they look like.

                                    Cool!  I'm set on engineers for a while but I will be following along with interest.  The Ace engineers I've seen don't have lasts that speak to me, but I did find some other boots of theirs I loved.  Here's a Himel collab I think is pretty rad, and I don't usually dig two tones other than oxfords or sneakers:

                                    Think it, be it.

                                      Yeah, I agree about the lasts. Mostly I'm just excited for a pair of engineers that I can actually try on before pulling the trigger!

                                        Right?  The anxiety waiting for boots that may or may not work is kind of frustrating.  A lot of that in my life these days 🙂

                                        But when it works out, the journey is worth the prize:

                                        Think it, be it.

                                          Yeah, especially when a) you cannot return them and b) they cost twice as much as the most expensive boot I've ever purchased (almost). That pic makes me want to grab a pair of the JL's in black.

                                            The Motor engineers are steerhide. I think they'd age spectacularly. If you follow the link below, then click on "aging" (エイジング) (second from the bottom in the left hand column), then click on a shoe or boot, you'll see some nice examples of well worn Moto footwear. I seriously wish they made the cowhide pecos in my size…..
