              They used to stock them in garbstore. Both the 7" and 11" engineers look pretty damn good for the price

                              Thanks davito, sabergirl & cutlasshound. I think I may have a few pairs incoming. For less than one pair of Whites or Vibergs on the used market. Will maybe start a thread but most definitely will report back. . . .

                                  I will look forward to seeing some firsthand info.  Since they're made here in my adopted country of Mexico, I'm especially curious.

                                    Wait till you see what i got.

                                    I don't think I've  been this excited about footwear since my 1st pair of  Viberg's.

                                        went to gentry in hipster paradise bklyn. last time i saw so many beards i was talking about purim with my rabbi homie.

                                        great value for your money.  can't talk about the items being made ethically or anything until i do some actual research.  here are a few images just cause a picture is worth a thousand words:

                                        Promise will get better images up in the next few days, just been keeping weirder than usual hours & so you know you left with late night images with crappy light & patron thoughts.

                                        oh here are 2 of the pairs i grabbed on gentry's site:

                                        http://gentrynyc.com/collections/sale/products/pistolero-side-loop-engineer-brown

                                        they are worth so much more than even their full retail price reflects . . .

                                          Those lace up boots are great looking.

                                          I've owned a couple of pairs of boots that were made in Guanajuato, and the quality is very good.  Glad you like what you found.
