      really nice...

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

                Oh no it's CXL, you'd be lucky if it didn't disintegrate in shipment 😃

                        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:

                                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…..

                                    Engineer central around here lately… they are growing on me, but is there a reason they're 800+ dollars vs. high quality laced boots that are 400+?

                                          I think a Japanese guy runs Ace.
                                          And it was mentioned somewhere that the boots are manufactured in the same workshop as Julian's.
                                          That's just what I read. Can't remember where. But they look very similar.

                                            I just love these boots - if John in fact makes some in 12.5 or 13 I will jump in.  They are REALLY nice - even if they are made of CXL.
