      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:

      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.

                  I wasn't big on them fresh out the box but they look amazing worn in IMO

                    Yeah I love the leather and its grain and how the tanning fades. I just don't dig the bulbous toe look and the short heel stack mainly. Still great looking boots just not my ideal.

                      I hear ya… Normally I'm not about the bulbous toe either but I wouldn't mind having at least one pair and as of now those are the best ones I've seen on the market, they arent TOO over the top... deginetly walk that line well.

                      that and i have three high end pairs with collapsing toes, and two other pairs to be rebuilt  so a little bit of a change wouldn't be bad either

                          A pair of Georgia's and a pair of ???s no branding that I can locate but a promising shape and nice build. Both were found from therabbithousevintage on etsy..

                          Nothing too crazy… One day done vintage HH chips would be great though

                                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.

                                thank you! 😉

                                      Liking those as well… Really never thought I'd be interested in the more bulbous toe but I think ace does it well

                                        They do, the leather grain is nice, reminds me of the RC.  I'd cop em if they were Chippewa price range, but I think I'm set on Engineers for the next decade unless I get some baldalassis 🙂

                                          youare a better man than me… I can easily see myself having a quite large collection of engineers in the not so distant future.. Not that I need them; however, a beautiful boot is very much a piece of art (IMHO).

                                            It's more of a budgetary and decision issue for me.  I have other shit I want to invest in, and I don't want to cycle through a bunch of pairs of shoes, I want to beat the shit out of a select few so I can evo them bitches as fast as possible.  I already have too much footwear and am literally throwing shit away~!
