***MADE TO ORDER
Description
First appearing around the turn of the century and originally based on English equestrian style boots, the engineer has been an American icon ever since. Used first as protective footwear for firemen on steam locomotives, the lack of stitching combined with the height and relative ease to pull on and off made it an instant favourite. It is believed albeit unconfirmed that this is where the name “engineer” came from.
During World War II, engineer boots dropped out of favor as manufacturers went back to making lace-up combat boots. But as the 50s approached, the boots came back and saw a boom in popularity.
Many veterans came back from the war and formed motorcycle clubs. For many of these enthusiasts, the engineer became the boot of choice. It didn’t have anything that could get caught in the many moving parts of the bike, were comfortable, and provided a modicum of protection. Most of all, they simply looked transgressive. Paired with a leather jacket, some raw denim and a tee shirt, the look could weather any cultural change.

Material
VEG TANNED LEATHER
Vegetable tanned leather refers to the tannage, or method of tanning the cowhide into leather. It’s called “vegetable” because of the natural materials used in the tanning process like tree bark. Vegetable tanning or veg tan as it’s sometimes called, is one of the oldest methods of tanning known to man. It has literally been around for centuries.
Vegetable tanning refers to leather that is tanned with oak and spruce bark. Also quebracho, tara pods, olive leaves, rhubarb roots or mimosa are common. These substances are placed in a pit along with the skins and hides. As these tannins are derived from plants, the leather is called vegetable-tanned leather. Also the term “natural leather” is used. What makes vegetable tanning so unique is it allows us to use thicker leather and results in more body and character. Vegetable tanned leather also tends to age better and develops a rich patina over time. And it has that awesome classic leather smell.
