This is a boot I’ve had my eyes on for nearly two years now… and I finally acquired a pair ::-)
They are worth every single euro if you ask me. When you slip your feet into those, you just know you are wearing a high quality, well thought out, custom-made pair of Engineer Boots.




The leather on the entire boot is a thick cowhide, yet very supple, a high-quality leather IMO. Chocolate brown in color, but after a few wears a lighter brown undertone is showing up (the leather is vegetable tanned!. I also have to mention that after a few days of continuous wear, the soft toe box is beginning to mould into the purposed flat toe shape.
The thickness of the double leather soles (though not to stiff, compared to my Viberg Service Boots) and heels (Cat’s Paw of course, which will wear out quite fast) maket hese boots perfect.
Some details :
Olive colour inside roll top band

Hard to find steel buckles hardware. A fully functioning strap holds the boot secure at the ankle.

Olive colour strap gusset.

Next pair on the list are BUCO’s or Lone Wolf engineers….

Today our favorite item is Spellbound®’s”shaggy modal” checker work shirt. The colors are so bright, almost like 3D and the fabrics are soft as butter. The fabric is a modal cotton blend that has been combed, so the surface will have plush blanket like texture which adds to its comfortability and softness. The weight is perfect for autumn, winter (layered) & spring.
