Reviews of clothing, boots, and accessories for men, along with style advice and life philosophy. I've been working with my hands for my entire life as a mechanic, tow truck driver, and eventually a licensed electrician. Being a blue collar guy, I look for certain elements in a product: is it durable? Is it high-quality? Will it perform well over its service life? Whether boots, pants, jackets, or tools I believe it's best to buy once and cry once by getting the best you can afford. With so many options these days, choosing the best product can become a difficult decision, but that's where I come in. Helping you stay stylish, rugged, and handsome.
I don't care where it's made as long as it's made well and allows you to own less and own better.

They look identical to my westco knuckle dragger boots.
Hermans made THE best engineer boot.
(Back when they were still made in Connecticut)
And then the 70s happened.
I love it when there's a story and history to a product. You did a great job telling it about these. Looking forward to seeing the completed project!
Much appreciated!!
Super fun story and can’t wait to see them in the race car
Sold Out 😢
I started at the a dealership and I remember that guy with Knapp Shoe and boots for $90-120 I picked up a a pair and they worked ok LOL
watching this video wearing my 1 month old Mr.Lou black horsehide boots. In the beginning they were a pain to put on and break into. Looks like nicks solved these issues so that more people can enjoy them
I got my order this week. I am impressed by the quality and fit. I like the different style of these over Mr. Lou. I was less impressed by the wait time of I believe 7 months. I asked early Jan. where they were at and I was told they were finishing them. Better than the Wesco wait time where I am still waiting for an order made in early Jan. 23. over a year ago.
I just picked up a pair of these Sunday in the Nick’s Quick Ship section. Based off the UPS tracking I should receive these Tuesday. I too ordered a pair of Wesco Mr. Lou’s boots in September and realistically don’t expect them until March 2025. I also ordered a standard Nick’s Pullman Engineer boot too prior to picking up this Carl M. collaboration boot.
Curious as to the comfort level of the boot? Is this a boot someone can wear and be on their feet all day? It’d be interesting to know.
I wouldn't count on March. All though they may regularly restock the Mr. Lou sizes listed for sale. I asked once and was told if you order you go on a waiting list if it is out of stock. I sent a pair of Jobmasters to rebuild in early Oct. They shipped them the other day due to arrive Monday.
March 2025.
I’ve ordered mine, still waiting
Just grabbed a pair, Can’t wait 🤘🏻 thanks for the sizing advice.
This is the best collaboration I've ever seen on RUclips. I'd love a channel with your automotive side.
It has finally arrived!
Any updates on the boots?
Buy yours here: bit.ly/3rpvA0l
Ordering my pair now!
Ordered my pair! Gonna be awesome!
Love those, I'm currently breaking in my first pair of engineer boots. My first boots ever were in basic, then I bought a pair of jungle boots that I wore so long the sole was practically gone and my big toe rubbed a hole in the top of the left boot
0:53 I appreciate the “period accurate” daisy dukes
These are interesting. I totally see where they were perfect for their era, but at the same time they look like Santa's boots. Which makes sense, since Santa has a classic look rooted in much simpler times. That said, these will also be great for those who moonlight as Santa around Christmas time.
I used to wear Knapp boots in the 70's. I ordered thru my job.
Waxed calf is meant to hold a high shine while still being super hardy as it was intended originally for fox hunting boots, idk if I’d “patina” it. I think it’s a fun leather to shine and still be able to put through hell.
So cool how you´ve combined your hobbies in this video. Wouldn´t mind more videos about your cars
More to come!
Great video thanks Carl 👍🏻
How is the leg cut compared to Wesco Mr. Lou ?
What a cool way to bring two subjects together! The car and boot combination really works well
I really really want a pair of engineers but the wait time for the Wesco engineers have a crazy wait time. These are such nice engineers. I love my nicks officer boot.
Living in the PNW and being a vibram 100 fan I hope Nick's adds this to their line up with a vibram 100 option.
Looks cool, the pull tab looks a bit strange with the this boot but overall solid configuration, love the unstructured toe box.
The second Carl goes for a high end aerial shot while he's under the car, and the doggo has to immediately photobomb it.
bro did not skip the lift session
Love the story of this boot and all the history behind this.
I would need the high arch.. But they look fantastic.
Hey Carl how’s the car build coming on?
Slow, but I dropped off the engine to a builder this weekend. I found a Roof 8 OHV head for it!
Looks like a cool boot. Definitely gives off a Mister Lou vibe. Interesting to see they are rebuildable, which is not the case with the renegades. I had a pair of renegades briefly and wasn’t thrilled with them. Now I’m going to have to flip a coin to see if I will buy these. Thanks Carl, because I don’t have enough engineer boots already lol.
Ended up pulling the trigger.
Hey, FYI. These are NOT rebuildable. Look for my most recent comment here. Had an exchange with NICKS. I'm considering cancelling my order.
I have family down in Wildwood. I used to go there for the summers and work on the boardwalk in my younger years. The town was a lot different then. Many fond memories from there. It was a great place to be in my teens and early 20's. You did a fantastic job with this piece, Carl, as usual. I really need a good set of engineer boots in my arsenal. A no frills, no fuss type of boot. Right up my alley. Please keep up the great work. Much respect🥃
Thank you for sharing! I'm looking forward to seeing the town, I've heard its pretty incredible and we're going to make it a long family weekend there.
@@CarlMurawski Carl, do you have an email address, where viewers can contact you with recommendations or requests for various brands that may be worth your time to check out, or with questions in general about products that you've highlighted on the channel???
@@tarasmathers7423 most of the time we just talk about it in my Discord. Otherwise you can always email me at info@carlmurawski.com
@@CarlMurawski Copy that. Much appreciated. I will be in touch, and I thank you for your time my friend👍
Have a great week Carl!
I have a small little engineer boot theory. Now mind you this theory stems from the many people I’ve heard say that they can never get an engineer fit correct, or they don’t match their feet, or they can’t find a pattern that looks right. This has led me to believe that the engineer boot has always been flawed. They go back to the 1800s but no one can exactly trace them back to a year or an inventor. I think they’re just inherently an imperfect design.
Quite bummed that I missed these, such a good look at a fair price. Not that I need more, my Lofgrens are treating me fine. Awesome video as always! Side note: what’s your favorite cigar, Carl? Cheers
Would it be possible for you to post an updated photo of the boots now that they have been worn/used for sometime? I was fortunate enough to be able to order a pair so just curious as to what i’m in for.
Keep producing great content.
Did you get the boots?
Yes, a couple weeks ago.
Great boots. Easier break in than the Tanker run
Can’t comment on the custom stuff, but my local cobbler is an authorized Wesco and Whites dealer. They ordered me a stock firestormer in February, and supposedly they should be in next month.
Wow, very cool boots. I love them. Great well done video, too, Carl.
Thank you sir!
@@CarlMurawski My pleasure! I always enjoy your videos.
I’ll grab these as a graduation gift when I get my EE degree
Still waiting. These things have taken as long as a pregnancy at this point.
Even longer at this point, I’ll be surprised if I get it this month
That Shirt you're wearing looks almost identical to my Filson Chambray CPO shirt.
Buying this to replace my wesco’s. Honestly didn’t like the quality of my wesco engineers compared to the pair of nick’s I own
These look awesome. If I didn’t already have every pair of boots I could possibly need for the rest of my life, I would seriously consider them.
Those are some sexy wire wheels. I want to hear more about the project, I've got a 4-valve Rajo head, Winfield 4V, and Ruxtell waiting for me to put together and get under my roadster.
And I need boots now too.
Right on! I'm looking for a Roof or Rajo head now. Did you ever see the overhead cam kits they made for these little 4 bangers? Insane.
Diggin em! Got the email, looks like this on will be on order! 🤙🏽
Hey Carl I'll be waiting for the video series on you working on the Ford 🫣🫣🫣
1927 was the last year for the model T. You should probably put a model A engine and transmission in it. Or better yet a 34 Ford flathead V8. Just my opinion.
Yeah I love the flathead V8s but they’re hard to fit on the stock model T frames.
Have been researching and thinking about buying engineer boots for a while. I've considered WESCO, KNICKS, Role Club, JL's, etc...
Then I ran into a NICKS email about this special collaboration (and limited production of 100 pairs) between C. Murawski and Nicks...There were 48/100 pairs when I opened the e-mail sent by NICKS.
3 hours later when I got home from a motorcycle ride... there were only 36/100..!
it was then when I decided to pull the trigger. Didn't wanna risk it. these CM x Nicks engineers are the best in quality and design I've seen since I started looking into buying a pair. These boots are literally Flying .!!
Haha I remember that old guy, he came by our shop too. Nice old guy said he worked for Knapp for 60ish years.
Really good guy, and I felt kinda bad because nobody ever bought from him.
Nice boots, question what would be better, Engineer boots or tanker boots from Nicks? Just wondering
Hint, that might be a good video subject
Black waxed flesh, man, that leather is going to patina just beautiful!! I hope nicks offers this leather in the future.
This will be my 25th pair of Nicks. Great boots that fit great.
Great Video. Just Have Fun.
Just got a pair! Thankful to be a part of this history
I really wanted engineer boots for riding the bike, had a budget of $300-400, anyway long story short, Work America, they were made in American 🇺🇸 don’t know if they still are , but love them , I think I payed $150.00 for them, and get a lot of compliments, ride on
Is there any chance you could post photos of your greasers currently after time breaking in? I am on the list to get a pair of my own but a little skeptical on the buckle placement being too far over center of my ankle impinging when I crouch down. my alternative would be the built right boot. it looks like that buckle placement is further toward the side,but they don’t offer that in the rough out waxed flash. Quite the conundrum.
Carl, I wear an 11 in many brands of heritage boots. My Wesco Mr. Lou’s are 11s, but I definitely have heel slippage. Should I go for a 10.5 in these?
Definitely ask Nicks. They know their lasts and sizing better than anyone.
nice . if I can sell my Role Club engineer boots I would get this
@@lucadotti2928 I wear 7.5 ee in whites 8EE in Wesco. N this pair role club loose on me. Have to wear thick socks.
Boy howdy are they pretty, but I just can't stomach the investment right now. Got me a pair of White's late last month and I'm still breaking those in
Understandable!
got a pair of nicks C.M. tanker not happy about fit and wait time. need some help on sizing, wear a 12 D, but like a big toe box, can you send me some advice ? Thanks,, are these boot lined ?
The best people to talk to are the guys from Nicks, nobody knows their boots and lasts better than them.
What last did they use on this? Sorry if you said, but I didn’t catch it anywhere
What really made me click, was the "unless"
Vehicle? Looks like a race car.
RIP Jessi Combs
Obviously I have no idea when you graduated, but with an estimate of 1985, that makes $7 back then, is the equivalent of $19 today. That’s a very good wage for just out of high school. That will barely happen these days.
1985 is closer to when he was born... im guessing he graduated in the mid '00s
It was 1999 in fact, so I’m not sure what that would be today…
In 1985, a union construction worker in New York City was around $19/hr. Non-union was around $7 in most places. I was a kid back then but knew a lot of construction workers through friends and family.
Also, the economy got weird in the 90s so wages didn’t really go up much if you weren’t union. That was around the time people started coming in south of the border which lead to cheap labor. Luckily, computers were booming at the time but that industry changed too.
More of the flag girl please.
Why only limited edition? Looks like a boot that people will keep buying.
Mostly because the waxed flesh is hard to get right now. Horween is being a pain to work with
Nice money pit you got there! 💸💸💸
Love the car. The boots...not so much. Keep us posted with the build, Carl. Good luck at the races!!
Thanks! Will do!
Another question. Why only 100?
I'm interested, but I'm very much against the drop-culture hypetrain of buy, buy, buy, click first think later.
Mostly because getting the waxed flesh was really difficult. Horween has been really bad with shortages I guess, so Nicks got enough for 100 pair
The stupid buckle ruins it.
Public service announcement to anyone who ordered these: According to NICKS, these are not rebuildable. Which, when I ordered my pair, no one mentioned. As of this writing, their "Pullman" model, which is the exact same model as this collab, is still marked as rebuildable. But I heard from their YT channel, and just confirmed via email with them, that it is not. In my opinion, this changes the value proposition of this boot. And, not gonna lie, I feel pretty dupped. Like they bait and switched me. My boots are marked "started" by the way. And now I'm seriously considering cancelling my order on principle.
This is the first I've heard of that. I'll be confirming with Nicks, because if that's true they never mentioned it to me.
@@CarlMurawski I appreciate you looking into it. This kind of purchase is an investment for me. The way I'm able to rationalize the investment is by knowing that I'll be in them for the long haul.
@@CarlMurawski they released a video about rebuild versus resole yesterday on the nicks yt channel where they mentioned they don't perform rebuilds on pull on boots. ruclips.net/video/cxoa-9zow0Q/видео.html. I sent an email to verify because that was a big part in making my decision to buy these. They still have rebuildable listed on their site for pull on boots so it is possible the narrator misspoke.
On the listing of the boot, (I screenshot it when I bought it) it says that it’s both resoleable and rebuildable
I’m curious to the size you ordered and if you cancelled your order. I just picked up a pair of these in 11D from Nick’s Quick Ship Section and I’m stoked. I also ordered a pair of the Pullman Engineer boots as well with the Black WeatherGuard leather right around Halloween. I expect to receive those boots sometime in April possibly into May.
I’m not real hard on boots, hell I have a pair of Justin lace ups my mother purchased for me in 1996. Granted they have been re-soled. Anyhow I’m excited to get the boots and I’m not as concerned with not being rebuildable, however, aesthetically I hope they look good with my Wranglers and they’re comfortable to walk in. Time will tell the tale.
We are from the LYPULY brand.We have a lot to about high-value products that would be of interest to you? We have sent you an email inviting you to take a look.
Cool boots but basically 700$ , come on man in this day , I’m a welder fitter and like yourself respect a tradesman and the dedication but that’s to much , come on do better for us
So the name changed from Greasers to Pullman? Tell me it’s not some woke name change… ? ;)
Nah, our collab was the Greaser but they changed it for their stock boot.
@@CarlMurawski ahh gotcha. Grabbed the Greasers so was just wondering. Cool cool.
@@alteredstates333 You're all good man, I hope you dig em!
@@CarlMurawski I’m sure I will
RaCe oF gEnTLemEn hahaha I LOVE NURDS
Should've kept the name The Greaser. Some showflake complained greaser is a slur and Nicks folded like a bunch of PC cowards. I could never buy a boot with such a tainted history.
Yup… it killed me to accept the new name. Google the word “greaser” and the first four pages are hot rods and 1950s culture. It was complete BS.
