Although I can get a used pair for cheaper, meeting the master craftsman himself is in itself an experience that's priceless. I'll probably do both! Thanks for sharing and stay blessed.
Been wearing some of his resoles since 2019 he took my favorite Italian boots that were Blake stitched originally and gave them a goodyear welt !. :-) and he sent them all the way back to me here in the not so sunny UK. I am expecting my others back any time now! Do not hesitate to use Brian if you live outside the US! He is the best!
Your advice and opinions on used boots are right on as well. By being patient and knowing what to look for, you can find some rare and excellent deals.
You were very blessed to have acquired the lace to toe boots used and fit you well. I do love that style and within price range. I am a big fan of engineer style boots however they may be out of reach. I may give him a visit for measurements, lucky me I only live 40 min away hehehe. Btw, thank you for the words of encouragement for the people that may be reaching out to be heard 🙏🙏🙏.
Thanks!!! & you should go meet Brian, he is so nice. I think that you need an appointment though, also ask about the price before you finalize your order. It is an investment!
@@happinesscarpenter4550 Lead time is 2-21/2 years, yikes. He has really blown up over the years. I’m gonna have to make a move asap before he hikes the price higher as I have a feeling he may become a celebrity boot maker for the stars. I will keep in touch. Thank you sir for your reply.
Great thing about horsehide especially USA hides, horses cannot be slaughtered for their hides. They have to die of natural causes. The love of such a noble creature.
I am waiting on a pair of black lace to toe boots from Brian the Bootmaker (my wait time was just over 2 1/2 years) and can't wait to get them! Yours in natural look awesome and I can't believe you got them for such a deal! Also, in a week I'm going to be flying out to Guadalajara and am looking forward to that, as well!
Wow! I can’t wait to see your boots!!! Are you in my FB group “Red Wing & other Boots for Work & Fashion?” I will be in Guadalajara in June if you’re still there then we can meet
Great Video. Love how you describe Brian and Ignacio; They are humble about their stature as one of the Best Cordwainer in the World. Very few people have 2 Role Club boots!
Brian is definitely a master of his craft truly amazing watching him create his works of art Im really happy and feel blessed that his teacher taught him this amazing trade and shared his knowledge with Brian. One day I will own a pair
