        I'm sending my Road Champs to Brian next week for a resole and to tweak the fit. Totally psyched to see them when he's done with them.

              While I have been waiting for my halfsoles & heels to arrive to begin  the official Role Club engineer boots. I have been touching up the pattern getting every curve and angle exactly how I have been picturing it since day one. Thank you for your patience. I look forward to show you the finished piece very soon.

                      Injunjack, If I remember correctly you don't like the flat toes, but Brian is working on a new last that has more of a raised bump toe. He has pics on his Instagram. Maybe he'll post some here as well…

                          What a great thread, and bravo to Brain for the attention to detail - perhaps the finest in the world. Looking forward to seeing the engineer boots come into production. And a response in a few hours across the world by email - service and attention through and through…

                                With White’s boots loosing many of its loyal customers I would like to see you take up some of that slack Brian and build some fully custom boots from scratch (really excited that you’re doing an engineer boot). My personal interest is to find something in the next few years that will replace my Semi-Dress boots when they wear out…

                                Was planning on staying with White’s for life, but now it’s sold out of US hands I’d prefer a small American bookmaker such as yourself to a multinational corporation. Just something to think about for the next few years…

                                    Hey Brian. Do you use the original Viberg lasts when resoling them?

                                    I know some folks such as B. Nelson CANNOT replicate the original double row of stitching. I've seen a pair that was basically ruined (still functional and good-looking, but the stitching got pretty ugly).

                                    You're very close to me so I think I know where I'll be taking my boots to in the future. Further, where in LA are you located? Can you please PM me your contact info/location so I can say hello in person one of these days.

                                    Take care,

                                      I'm pretty sure that Viberg mostly does a stitch down welt and Brian does Goodyear welt. So it would be different either way. Shoot him an email: roleclub@yahoo.com

                                        @SilverKing I convert all stitch down constructions to a welted construction.  I can do the double stitch on your boots. Here are a pair of pair Viberg boots I resoled a couple of months ago.
