      I just came home and found my Road Champs waiting for me outside my apartment door (yikes!). Anyway, Brian did such great work on these. I've only worn them around the house, but the resizing seems totally perfect so far. I almost wish I had another pair of boots in need of a resole so I could get Brian to hook them up!

        Those are yours pictured above, right?

        I mailed mine off to Brian today for resole and resize up 1/2.  Glad to see you are satisfied!

          Yeah those are mine. Now I just have to wait a couple months to really get to wear them.

                            Here is a teaser of the upcoming Role Club engineer boots. These are made of Horween CXL brown horsehide. I will release official pictures and accept orders in about a month. Thank you for your patience.

                              Brian,
                              These look great. How much will they be? Will you be able to make size 12.5?

                                Thank you for the interest. They will come in black or brown horsehide, and dark olive Steerhide.
                                Each pair will be made to measure. For sizes 12 and up it will be a little extra because the shaft will
                                Be much larger. If you can email me, that would be great. I will calculate the cost asap. RoleClub@yahoo.com

                                        After reconstructing so many vintage engineer boots over the years, I always thought to myself when I make my very own engineer boots they will definitely have a very sharp cornered vamp. In my opinion, it makes a boot look more rugged. The triple stitch just tops it off. (The leather used on this sample is a brown latigo that I slightly hand dyed black just for experimental purposes)

                                          Lasting the counter with nothing other than brass tacks. I always have the cobbler in mind who will one day resole these boots in the future. I want to leave a good impression of what Role Club quality is all about. I will do my best to be second to none. Wear'Em With Pride.

                                            There are certain steps I would choose machine made over handmade, but hand-welting is a step in my opinion that should never be skipped. "Pride Produces Quality Work." -Role Club
