Interesting - I've been thinking of trying that with my SJC engineers as the oxblood in those is just a little lighter than I'd have preferred.

Very nice. I remember a pair of tan boots I had (not engineers) years ago, which I habitually polished with a Kiwi borwn a shade or two darker than the boots. Gave them a nice depth of colour and something of a 'show-through' in areas of high wear. Not quite as pronounced as teacore for obvious reasons, but avery nice, subtle effect.

I don't mind paying for something I want and I don't mind paying for quality. However, sometimes I find something that I really like that is good quality at a very reasonable price. Carolina boots are like that, my engineers were 160, well made and fit great. I wish they made them in more than 1 color.

Well great job! Leather looks really nice. When are you going to start taking orders? 
(only thing I’d change is the upper strap position which imho should be about 0.75”/1” higher up)

Agreed; those look great!
I know what you mean. I feel much the same about my William Lennon boots as compared to the likes of Wolverine or many of the Japanese work boots.

Thank you! I’m continuing to fine tune the design but I’m quite pleased with them!

4 month update. Leather is evolving but it’s tough to capture with the phone. Anyhow, I didnt want the thread to drift to page 2.
