Who makes the RRL boots? https://www.ralphlauren.com/brands-double-rl-men-shop-all-cg/leather-engineer-boot/101318.html?dwvar101318_colorname=Black&cgid=brands-double-rl-men-shop-all-cg&webcat=Men/Shop All

I couldn't tell you but they look ugly in my opinion. I paid a couple of hundred more for my John Lofgren's from Standard & Strange a few years back and they look much better and are probably better quality. There are quite a few options for high quality engineer boots out there but they are pricey and sometimes a long waiting list.

Definitely check out the John Lofgren Engineer boots. I own three pairs, Black, Burgundy and Natural. Only a few bucks more but worth every penny in my opinion. If you want the best of the best check out the Clinch Engineer boots. Pricey at close to $2000 and over a year wait, but probably at the top of the Engineer Boot list for quality and style. I have two pairs on order, also sold at Standard and Strange.

Last I heard their Engineer Boots were made by Rios of Mercedes.

I bought a pair a couple years back. They fit well but I struggled a bit getting them off in the store. The sales associate said that they would stretch and not to worry about it. The next time I put them on the vamp ripped when I was trying to get them off.

I took them back to the RRL store, and while they were great about getting them repaired, the place they sent them to was a joke. They basically glued it back together and dyed the glue black. It looked like a child did it. I immediately returned them and the sales associate was so confused and tried to convince me that it added to the character of the boot.

About a year later I got a custom pair from Brian the Bootmaker. The difference in quality was unreal and way more then the price difference.

I have handled the Julian era ones. They are out of this world. Great boots and probably my personal favorite shape for an engineer. Not purchasing them when I had the chance has been probably my most regretted clothing related mistake.

Aren’t they still making boots with Julian? Last time I checked the Bowery was still being made by them. Surprised that they switched the engineer to another maker. I’m assuming those pull on roper boots are made by Rios as well?

Bowery boots have been made in England by Cheaney for several years now.

so i have the boots, have had em a few year. they are comfortable and lightweight.

but i just got a pair of black lofgrens. my first. been wearing em all week. and they are far and away the best boots i have ever purchased. from the leather, to the craftsmanship, the comfort, the look. hands down recommend all the way. expensive, but very much worth it.

Thx fellas a lot of Lofgren love here and I can see why.
Looking at the descriptions of some of these made in US boots. Some are made in Texas in a small workshop which I assume is Rio of Mercedes? But what about the maker in Pennsylvania, who’s that?

Ah, well ****! Maybe I was thinking of the Livingston boot. Either way, thanks! I loved the Julian made boots.

 

[zippyh]

I think the current Livingstone boot is also Cheaney.

You might be thinking of Bryan the Boot maker. The name of his company is Role Club. I've never owned a pair of his boots but have heard good things on his quality. From the online reviews he supposed to be top notch.

Other than the Instagram fall photo, does anyone else have any detailed photos? It looked kind of weak in my opinion.
