          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

                            Words can't describe how pleased I am with the work Brian did on my Champs (upsize 1/2 and resole)…

                                Wow…those are looking really spectacular. Those have to be in the running for my first engineers... Will the black horse that you're using be dyed all the way through or will it have a tan base?

                                  @Bluegrass  Glad they made it safe!

                                  @grandmasterben the goes hide will have a natural brown flesh side.

                                  Inspecting the shafts alignment before lasting the counter. You use one knee for the height of heel. This quick inspection was used by my teacher when he had to last 75 pairs a day. My hats off to his hard work.

                                  This is the black CXL horshide.

                                    Brian was dropping mad knowledge about toe tracks over on Denimbro. Worth reading for anyone that's interested.

                                          Thanks my friend.  Very cool.  You can see some very faint toe tracks on my RCs, but nothing like you see on the Bucos.  Very interesting to read about it and better understand what it is.

                                            No worries!  And agreed, stuff like that is rarely something that you can learn about.  I love how toe tracks look!
