@58panheadfan’s Buco have patinated so nicely I’m also severely tempted by those although I’m kinda between sizes and don’t (yet) have a black jacket - plus I know I’ll never wear mine as hard as Harry !

View attachment 246513 Crappy photo but some of the selection here in Zurich that I’m having difficulty choosing between: Buco, Lofgren, Clinch, Clinch, Lofgren
Woah. For a second I thought those all were yours.
I like the Buco based on looks but They seem to have the least written about them. Certainly a big price spectrum if that’s a consideration.

Lofgren just released a very nice new brown color way exclusive to the new european site.

I just saw those. Not sure what the "reverse" means in the description of the leather though.

Resoled Viberg 10” CXL horse. The factory rubber sole and massive heel are just wrong, if you don’t intend to ever walk, just stand still and shovel coal, sure. Too much Vibram rubber and too large a heel made it too heavy, and the large ground contact surface made it hard to walk. Izet of Stamford redid the whole bottom and reduced heeel size (while increased height). Now so much better

Mine have huge Cat's Paw heels that I had trouble finding replacement for them. However I don't find difficult to walk in. I do agree that the heels seem too big and too low.

Who still sells brass and nickel roller buckles for engineers? Last place I bought them from was Iron Heart and they no longer sell them. I’m looking for both styles.
