    Yeah, if battery goes dead you better have good legs You can find motor that regenerate the battery on break but this one does not. In Europe it’s considered as a moped and needs plates, helmet and sh*t. In the UK they are a lot onto these kind of bike in terms of control but here in France...

I’ve updated a few things, seat is custom made and handlebar is coming from a small motorcycle, saddlebag is a polish army breadbag and there’s a 120db horn powered by a tiny soda bottle under the seat. it comes with a 1000w hub motor and a...

    Found this pair of red wing 1188 in Abilene rough out leather on Vinted in very good condition and cheap as dirt. I usually wear US7, 7 1/2D but these are in 8E and fits perfectly with an insole and thick socks. Very comfortable. I lightly coated them with dubbin as a test before doing the same...

    Love the flat toe box from your boots @Chris7273 Here's a little update on the 8268. TBH, when i fell in love with these boots, it was from the picture on the red wing page where they are rather old and beaten up, especially the second picture. i knew from the beginning i wouldn't keep...

    Thanks, nope sorry, i don't have a link and they don't seem to be on the Chippewa website anymore, i got them of Ebay. It's the same as this but i paid a 0 less including shipping... dunno who would put so much in a pair of new Chippewa anyway, they have smoked too much pot :D And now for...

    Red Wing vs. Chippewa Engineer Boots

    Thanks for the link. PT83 looks fantastic. So much better with the lower strap. $300 plus shipping from Europe, i’ve seen worse.

    Thanks, i love how the color gets darker on top of the boots, i didn’t wanted to exaggerate the picture process to show it off but it’s even more present in reality.

    Thanks man. I ended up grabbing a pair of unused 8268 off ebay.

    My apologies for this stupid question Do you unbuckle before wearing the boots or leave the buckle at a position that allow your foot to get into or put of it ? if i leave the buckle where it is snug enough to prevent heel slip, i can’t put or remove the boots and on the other hand, if i leave...

    Red Wing vs. Chippewa Engineer Boots

    Yes but i wasn’t able to find anything that tells them apart from the 8268. Whats the difference ? Are they easier and cheaper to get? 50800 JPY plus shipping and taxes, that’s a lot. I’d rather find some used 8268. I like them with a lot of patina. I just got a pair of 1188 for €100, i can...

    Red Wing vs. Chippewa Engineer Boots

    Yeah, i see what you mean, i have D feet, gonna see how the 2970 will fit anyway and choose my 8268 size accordingly, minus the sole, they should be pretty similar right? I don’t think the 2970 have a steel toe though. I just looked at my IR next to the Chippewa and they clearly aren’t from the...

    Red Wing vs. Chippewa Engineer Boots

    Hello everyone, been reading the topic and i want to be sure. I just got a pair of 1901m49 in size 7.5 and they fit perfectly. I’m going to get a pair of RW 8268, based on this topic, RW engineers are smaller than Chippewa but on the other engineer topic, i got the impression from comments that...

    They took a whole month to get here from the US but totally worth the wait. Cheaper than some beat-up boots i’ve seen online in my country. Fits well, hard to put on, little heel slippage when on but nothing i can’t live with. Chippewa 1901M49 in Cordovan.

    Thanks but I’m specifically looking for 8268, i fell in love with how they age in Abilene rough out, got a few options in Japan, i just need to pull the trigger.

    Hello everyone, I’m in the market for a pair of red wing 8268 but i kinda hesitate on which size to get. On the paper I’m an 8D (red wing measuring chart), i own a pair of IR in 7 1/2 which are kinda perfect with a little insole and a pair of 877 in 7 which took a little more time to get...

    Hello everyone, These 2 Bronson jackets are really growing on me but i can't really decide which one to wear today so i'm wearing both :D

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Hello everyone, Today i'm wearing the B-10 flight jacket from Bronson. I'm a bit disappointed about this one, the tanker jacket was a very good fit and really heavy so after looking at the size chart, the little difference between the 2 jackets didn't seem to be a big deal but this jacket is...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I found it on Ebay in the UK, based on what i've seen, it's supposed to be 70/80's. There was a similar jacket in a lighter shade for sale some time ago here. You can still see the pictures.
