Anyone can wear engineers!
Actually my back has been all f-ed up so no engineers for me
They really dont suit me.
Strange, my back hurts when I wear Vans over a too long time and my back feels good when I put on my boots.Sounds like you guys figured out that proper support in your footwear makes a big difference. When I was a kid I could never understand why Vans and Chucks made my feet hurt so much. It wasn't until I got my first pair of Birkenstocks, and much later, my first pair of Wescos that I truly understood how important support is to my feet (and back).

Congrats @twism_23 . I dig the color. They look amazing.

Peter, Wesco doesn't offer a shade of leather exactly like what you're looking for. Muskhaven (a Wesco dealer) offers a natural veg tanned leather that might be close. Also, if you look at pictures of smooth out Burlap that has been worn and aged (and maybe treated) it winds up looking a lot darker.

@summ3rhays thx man. Need to start wearing them more!
-
Hi Peter! There are a handful of pictures of the Burlap online after it has been worn. They do darken nicely. As mentioned, the Veg Tan is available as well! You can soak or oil the Veg Tan to get the darker look.

Thanks for providing answers, guys! I'm all about the rough out though, which I guess will evolve differently and not darken in the same way. Not a fan of dubbin either. Just checking really, still pretty keen on getting a pair of oxfords in burlap rough out when I've got the funds.

Paging @urbanwoodsman
Not sure if you'd be in to these but they look like a good build to me if you could overlook some wonky stitching. A bit loud but I'd wear the hell out of them.
Red Jobmasters in 9E currently on the seconds page for <$300:

I'm not into the Ketchup Red colorway or captoes. I'm still waiting for the right pair to pass through the seconds area

hey @Bluegrass, how are your burgundy boss's looking with some wear on them?

@mahlon321 the burgundy domain is coming along nicely - i've been wearing them quite a bit, in rotation with other boots - these are unlined, extra long instep strap, 9109 bump toe. They "need" nicer roller buckles). Here are some fresh photos, taken this morning:

hey, thanks a lot @Bluegrass!! I appreciate it. I was hoping that the leather would look like that. They look great!!
The pics def pushed me over the edge on the leather. I have a sample of it but was curious about it with some wear. I'm sold.
I'm going 10" lace to toe jobmaster, and burgundy for sure, but now I need to figure out if I want 2 tone or stick with the single colour.
ahh first world problemsThanks again man!!
