Here’s mine after about 10 years.. I wore it a lot for the first three or so years and sporadically after that. Still gets a decent bit of action in the warmer months when I can wear it over just a t-shirt (have outgrown it a bit). As I recall I sold my Gibson SG special to fund it, think this was my second ever IH purchase.
Clinch Jodhpur boots, cn-soft toe last OD horsebutt. Just went outside to snap this pic and there was an overwhelming smell of roasting hops from the Guinness factory which is nearby to where I live here in Dublin - it smells great!

Clinch Jodhpur boots.. I’m sure these won’t be to everyone’s taste, took me a while to come around to them myself. This pair came up for sale and I figured I could wear them in my job at the corporate sweatshop which was all the excuse I needed.
These ones are CN last calf leather, would have preferred the horsebutt variant but nice to have something different, also these are struck through rather than overdyed so will stay black 
@Daniel-San The best way to get the size right.. I got the brown ready to wear engineers, Brian had my measurements on file from when I got my underdogs so just sent the right size..
Here’s a pic of my two role clubs, the underdogs took 2 years to get made up but I understand that the wait for made to order is back down to 2 or 3 months. Brian’s a great guy to deal with I have to say.
Current engineer boot collection.. 2 x Clinch, 1 x Role Club
Rolex explorer with Good Art skull crusher bracelet, I never wear these stacked, just testing it out… under a freewheelers thermal and IHSH 240
More clinch engineers, these ones are black overdyed latigo, cn last, lowered heel, partially structured toe. I really like that these ones haven’t given up any of the overdye after about 3 years of regular wear.. It seems to me a lot of tea core leathers fade much faster than these have done.
My 24” curb chain #3 and rosette burst St. Christopher that I’ve worn every single for about 5 years now.. the shazam notmally lives on my keys…
@47th_Drew I had a similar predicament a few months ago with the size 4A, I tried two sizes, one felt too tight and the next size up felt too loose, I went with the looser one which I think fits like your one and I’m really happy with the looser fit now, I actually feel like my skull crusher bracelet is a bit tight now in comparison and thinking of adding a link. The advice I got at the time was that if the bracelet doesn’t fall off when it’s closed then it fits you.
Edit to say, I do regret getting the smallest size model 10, I should have gotten the 3A that I originally wanted.
Seamaster on codora strap and deployant clasp. The strap is originally from the dark side of the moon speedmaster, I’m really enjoying this set up, the whole thing is fairly substantial and I reckon the stap and clasp suit this particular watch. The codura is solid and the red contrast stitching on the inside is a nice detail. I’d prefer if the strap was lined with rubber rather than leather but the leather feels like it’s been treated in some way that it seems rubberised(?) I’m not sure that’s a real thing but it doesn’t feel to be particularly porous, it’s kind of rubbery to touch. In any case it’s very comfortable to wear.
New role club engineers just came in. These were from the ready to wear run that Brian did recently. I hadn’t planned on another pair of boots for some time but when the opportunity to get these without the long wait came up I jumped on them - I waited 2 years for my underdogs but I believe the waitlist is back down significantly now.
Brian was kind enough to lower the heel on these for me so they’re on his low woodsman heel rather than the full woodsman on the rest of the run.
These are on his new last which I believe falls between the 2 existing lasts that he uses for his engineers, one of them being quite sleek and the other a bit fuller in the toebox.
The leather is listed as Italian horsehide and I believe it’s from the maryam tannery but I could be wrong about that.
