Show us your boots
-
A pair of Georgia's and a pair of ???s no branding that I can locate but a promising shape and nice build. Both were found from therabbithousevintage on etsy..
Nothing too crazy… One day done vintage HH chips would be great though
-
Hit the Nocona with neatsfoot, a brush, and LP, and another brush.

more pictures…
really nice...also similar with the RRL´s one.
who is the Ace boots maker?
can it be Julian?
someone know more about it?I think a Japanese guy runs Ace.
And it was mentioned somewhere that the boots are manufactured in the same workshop as Julian's.
That's just what I read. Can't remember where. But they look very similar.thank you!

Some more Ace engineer pr0n:
These ones look better than the others.

Liking those as well… Really never thought I'd be interested in the more bulbous toe but I think ace does it well
-
They do, the leather grain is nice, reminds me of the RC. I'd cop em if they were Chippewa price range, but I think I'm set on Engineers for the next decade unless I get some baldalassis
-
youare a better man than me… I can easily see myself having a quite large collection of engineers in the not so distant future.. Not that I need them; however, a beautiful boot is very much a piece of art (IMHO).

It's more of a budgetary and decision issue for me. I have other shit I want to invest in, and I don't want to cycle through a bunch of pairs of shoes, I want to beat the shit out of a select few so I can evo them bitches as fast as possible. I already have too much footwear and am literally throwing shit away~!

Give me those boots!

Give me those boots!
just give zip stevenson a call and he will hook you up right. he even had them hand dyed the way i wanted them. I sized down half a size and with a insert they fit great, little bit of a struggle to get them on still but it has gotten easier. -
Damn, my head is swimming - where are these from (the Santa Rosa's)? So many boots, so little time/money.
I spent a bunch of time on Fedora Lounge reading about engineers, and given that JL's and MFRC's don't currently make my size, are hard to get even if they did, and pricy - I am thinking hard about custom Wesco patrol toes in black fire or black pebble, or custom White's nomads in black CXL. The Nomads I've seen that are broken in are really nice and the base price - "on sale" at Bakers - is under $400. And I know exactly how they will fit.

Hollywood Trading Company makes those. Wasn't there an historical Santa Rosa boot maker though?

Yep, VEB to the rescue

That's one thing that kills me (on the second boot), Wesco and Viberg both do this: fake roller buckles. Either make it a roller buckle, or make it not a roller buckle. Those Santa Rosas have no roller and instead are clean and thin. I still prefer a roller to that, but at least they own that it's a regular buckle. And it has a clean aesthetic, I respect that. The pebble grain throws me a loop, I can't decide if I like it–but it's at least unique and interesting. A cool boot for sure.
Absolutely LOVE the first one, full stop.
