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

      Think it, be it.

        Don't get them wet and stay out of the sun (and the shade)!

              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:

                  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+?

                              CXL is for hippies. 🙂

                                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?

                                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.

                                      Don't listen to the hype… The cxl is fine, I really like it on this boot, especially the cxl Spec'd for this boot...

                                            It's not my favorite profile. Don't like the heel, last, or outsole. Even so, I love a worn pair of boots.
