          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.

                                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/pistolero/products/pistolero-side-loop-engineer

                                    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.

                                        People

                                        If I got the two-tone round & the flat laces.  What lengths would you buy?

                                          thanks for un-monday'ing the links, chris.

                                          lace ups are called 6" cap toe lace ups & they are comfy out the box & a great boot to look at.  after taking them around the block a few times will report back.

                                          G, what length benjo's you thinking of?  they got 34", 48", & 54".  maybe best to go with the 54"  too long is better than too short. . . or just play it safe with the 48" . . .

                                          head high, middle finger higher
