John Lofgren Engineer Boots - Natural CXLThee iconic Engineer Boot has been interpreted in diverse styles since the 1940s when they were originally made as a shin protecting work boot. There are huge variations in style, period correctness, use of materials and intended purpose from a lot of the current offerings. We are bound to be biased, of course, but after trying and handling a variety of Engineer Boots over the past few years of varying quality and style, we can honestly say the John

It has a curved waist but when new they are fairly straight from heel to toe

Very plush high end calf leather from Italy

Unlike some of the stiffer more vintage horsehides/ butts there is very minimal break in with it

it has a great lustre and ages very well

without the toe structure

The Officers coin purse from Vasco is the perfect representation of what Vasco make

the leather is the perfect weight

The PRAS shell cap low sneakers are made from a custom heavy duty upper

Pliable but has a slight stiff feel to begin with

breathable in the warmer months

The Heimat Textil Rundhals crewneck sweater is the same beast of a sweater as the U Boat roll neck but in a crewneck for those that prefer this style

A great compliment to shorts and jeans for the warmer months
