Congratulations...beautiful pair of engineers . That leather looks ace.

If you don’t mind please post more pics of them from different angles. I’m considering signing up for Brian’s wait list for a pair of engineers. How long did you wait for them? I’d love to see your detailed build request to guide my future choices.

Awesome. Can you also post a pic of your foot in the boot? I'd like to see how much room he leaves around the calf.

Thanks, I’ll definitely take some more pictures when I get chance. I placed my order back in June 2019.

I think the wait time may be over a year now. My detailed build was pretty much the summary in my original post, I placed my order over email and had sent some details about the hides that I had sent to Brian.

How long did you wait for them?

In early April I was told May of 2022.

You mean for deposits placed this year? That’s a pretty solid wait time for sure. Almost makes me want to make another deposit just for a build slot even though my first build won’t be till late this year.

 

[repete66219]

Yes, if I sent in a deposit at the beginning of this month I'd be on schedule for May '22 delivery.

I got told June recently

Does anyone know what Brian uses to stain the "hand finished" black horsehide?

 

[Mghart]

Looks like the wait is sitting at August 22’ now. I just put down another deposit. Still looking forward to getting my first boot early next year, but the long wait time now makes it worth it to just have another build pending.

 

[Sartorium]

That's getting reaaaal close. Looks like Brian's my man. Thanks brother.

I decided to go to the source, getting Dehner, who originally designed the tanker pattern for General Patton, to make me a pair.

Hello all, new member here. I thought I would chime in with two pairs of my Role Club Boots. The black ones are the 1940 last, the green are the 2307 last. Both are Shell Cordovan, both have structured toe boxes. The black pair I have had for a year the green ones just showed up.

 

[Mghart]

Those look amazing! If I can ask, what are the differences between the two lasts? I'm really like the 1940 as it looks like a fuller toe.

Iron Ranger resole & relast. Brian does beautiful work.

Black half sole, low block heel, dark brown edge finish, 722 last.

 

[bjhofkin]

Awesome.

Would you be able to shoot a whole bunch more photos of the 1940 pair from different angles, by any chance? I'm right now in the process of finalizing an order and can't decide between structured and unstructured toe box.

Would be very helpful – thank you!
