@Heavy_blue yeah man!! I feel pretty damn lucky myself. They are incredible. The evo progress on this leather is so incredible to watch develop. Look forward to see how yours come along too!!
I’ve been wearing some Darn Tough Everyday Crew socks mostly. But I also have some
Thicker Darn Tough hiking crew socks that fit great thickness wise. These boots have more volume than my other boots so I Can comfortably wear thinner and thicker socks. I got lucky with the sizing on these. The last they use is damn near perfect for my foot. -
Those are progressing reaalll nice @Mizmazzle

[mention]Heavy_blue [/mention] nice looking boots. Great find. What cut of jeans are you wearing in the photo. I have a pair of engineers on their way to me and I’m just curious about how slim a pant would fit nicely over them.
-
Thank you very much @deanclean John Lofgrens on your way?
i’m wearing my beloved 777 21ib with a hem around 20cm and fits great not tight or anything! Enjoy your engineers and dare to show them! -
Thanks [mention]Heavy_blue [/mention] I’ve got a pair of duck 777’s and and a couple 666’s jeans so it sounds like my new boots will work nicely. There is a pair of Lofgren ropers I’m waiting to get re released but the engineers I’ve got coming are Role Club. I think they are getting shipped to me tomorrow.
-
@deanclean the Lofgrens are up for pre-order with delivery in April 23’ but maybe you already knew that! Let me know if you like the role club engineers! P.s. what kind of colorway did you grab?
-
[mention]Heavy_blue [/mention] yes I saw them up for preorder a month or 2 ago but my size was sold out. I got the brown horsehide with the black finish on top for the Role Clubs. I’m no expert but I think the idea is that the black will wear away a bit revealing the brown underneath. It’s a big purchase so the Lofgrens may have to wait a while.
-
@deanclean nice mate! Teacore leather is always beautiful! Hope you like them!
-
@deanclean dude NICE — I have the same (or damn near same, depending on last) Role Clubs coming sometime this year. The order says Sept, but they told me it’d likely be sooner. How long did yours take?
They’re a big purchase indeed, but I’ve gotta say because my Lofgrens are a tad too small and a many times aforementioned huge pain to get on, it’s always irritated me that they’re not perfect. So I had to figure out some that were (and pay the price, haha). Based on the pair of Role Clubs I held at the shop, I’m not gonna be disappointed.
-
I have some RC Oxfords and they are superb. Love his boots but can't justify it since I already have black (JL) and brown (custom MF RCs) engineers.
-
[mention]popvulture [/mention] I’m really looking forward to them. I’m actually not sure on the last. I can’t remember the number. I know it’s the original one though. Sort of a little flatter toe. I got low woodsman heel and unstructured toe. I just hope they fit because I did the measurements myself. I’m embarrassed to say I paid for the expedited production so it only took a couple months. If he gets them shipped today I may see them this week. Depends how long they are in customs to get to me in Canada. I’ll keep you posted!
-
[mention]mclaincausey [/mention] so cool you have Road Champs. I still regret not getting a pair when they first came out. I hope these Role Clubs satisfy my engineer needs! It’s a big investment but I keep telling myself that my now 1 year old son may one day want to wear them. My wife is continually reminding me that I say that for almost every new purchase these days. Not sure for how much longer that will work!
-
@deanclean yes.. the wives haha! It’s almost a dayjob to clarify sometimes
no just kidding my fiancé wil never understand why i spend that amount of money on boots/Ih stuff etc. but in the end she sees how happy i am with it. -
new boots and coffee
badalassi cognac leather , very nice leather
they will age beautiful
color compared to my RW 877
-
Congrats @Daniel San that leather looks nice and buttery!! What cut jeans are those over the boots?
-
@Mizmazzle
it’s a 634 18oz
the leather is awesome, it’s a bit softer than the Horween CLX although it’s a little thicker in my opinion. But that’s just a guess. -
@Daniel San liking the hem on that 634. Been kinda on the fence thinking it might be a bit wide for my liking. I’ve been an 888 guy in large part cause I love the hem on my boots. But that 634 is money!

Amazing @Daniel San pictures do look familiar
