Orang orang kita tuh memang harus mengerti dan menghargai, craftmanship n bespokse stuff tuh udah pasti mahal dan perlu proses, karena material semua berkualitas dan pembuatannya dibuat dengan tangan secara detail agar bisa tahan seuumur hidup, maju terus Sagara !
Tapi pajak impor bahan baku kita itu tinggi... Itu tak bagus buat umkm.. jika bisa dapat kecil utk usaha umkm mungkin bisa membantu harga menjadi turun..
In Europe i found so many fashion products fabricated in Indonesia are much better than those that were fabricated in China, Vietnam, Turkey or Bangladesh.
Yeah butbThose are made in Vietnam and Bangladesh usually exported to Indonesia and consumed by lots of Indonesian, so the Indonesian didn't get their own products since the supplier prefer to selling it abroad 😅
the irony is that, here in indonesia some big fashion brand (i mostly notice shoe brands) always market the shoes overseas, rarely in indonesia. My aunt (works in one of adidas factory) its because if they market the indonesia fabricated shoe locally, the price will go down. that is some marketing brilliance i would say
Bro them like our quality boots this is our potential export commodity we must repair textil industry too because to much go bankrupt because we produce locally and not try to exporting those
Indonesian boot guys worship American boots because of Americana culture. Now American boot fanatics are obsessed with Indonesian boots because of the quality. How crazy is that 💪😁👍
Indonesians have long been enamored by American culture. Nothing new there. Specifically regarding the mutual infatuation in bootwear, partially due to globalization and to Nick’s point, ‘flat circle’.
Because of american culture? American boots are great because of its sturdiness, no Indonesians boot are built as strong and as sturdy as American flagship PNW boots. Indonesian boot are only winning in style and tidiness of work and perhaps more handmade aspect without machine if you care a lot about that.
I'm not surprised that Bandung is a maker of high quality products, before Zara cloned world designer clothes, Bandung had been doing it since the 60s and they became one of the fashion centers in Asia.
In fact.. many international branded shoe products are produced in Indonesia.. Famous brands order and buy cheaply from local craftsmen then they label them with their Brand and they sell them to international markets at fantastic prices!
I am pretty sure that this video is focusing on a certain nationality I don't know where you get that conclusion from after watching this video. But that doesn't mean I does not agree with your opinion.
@@kato2395 I got your point. However, the way I see it, the pride is coming from a good achievement, not from a thin air. And to the broader context, Indonesia is still invisible despite the enormous potential talents like Bagus. So, the 'pride' here as an antidote to being inferior. Well, of course, too much anything, even good things like Love will kill you. That's a no brainer.
Because of your video on the top Indo boot manufacturers, I bought a pair of Txture Sanity boots. Have had them for 6 months and they have almost replaced my full leather flops, mandatory SC Summer footwear!! If you're looking for a fine hand welted casual or dress boot, give Txture a hard look. Mid priced Indo boots with plenty of custom options and easy to order using IG. Their customer service is amazing, but lead times can be extended. I can assure you the extra month or so is well worth the quality, appearance and comfort Txture offers. I've had a number of people I didn't know approach me and ask where I purchased my boots, not knowing they were handmade by Txture ..... I'm a typical 50yr old man people typically ignore, but these boots have spawned some very interesting conversations I didn't expect..... Thanks so much for introducing Indo footwear to me and those who should take your advice on their not manufacturers. Without your video, I wouldn't own the finest footwear ever to grace my middle class feet!!!
Agree. Txture is really awesome. I have a pair of Warhorse Selvedge Line with blue Crazy Horse leather from CF. Stead. That boot is a beautiful piece of footwear art
The dude is speaking fluent English, yet the videographer overlayed subtitles for him and not the presenter. He is articulating his thoughts succinctly.
It is because of the accent. Accents make it hard to catch words so it can be confusing. Not to mention, the guy speaks quite fast (in western standards) but it is actually just normal speed in indonesian language.
Hello Nick, I just received my cordmaster horse butt boots and I love the way they fit and the wait was only 4 months. The craftsmanship is amazing. I generally like the service boot but these fit great. I have to admit that the natural color is to light and I do not have the patience for the natural darkening so I used a brown Safire cream conditioner and I one hour my boot look six months old. The Maryam Horse hide that Sagara used is the best I have seen and I have 6 pairs of horse hide boots. Thanks for the recommendation.
Hello Nick. As an Indonesian, I'm mad at you because I'm very addicted to 10 pairs of Indonesian boots that you mentioned and promoted for several years (including Sagara, Junkard, Txture, Jakkrabbits, and Santalum) 🤣 Jokes aside, I'm really happy that Indonesian bootmakers are really compassionate for their works and great interview too!
For boots, if you want rugged style I can recommend Sagara, Txture, and Jakkrabbits (all of them from Bandung and MTO, unfortunately). For denim (cloth/jeans) I can only remember one brand: Wingman (also from Bandung too).
Most Indo boots are just a finely made product and worth every penny. Have a few myself. BUT PLEASE, makers in Indonesia. Hire communications people to your teams. Have a dedicated person to handle customers and their expectations. A theme with many (not all) makers is to ghost their customers while they get their queue in order. Better communications would do your businesses a world of good.
This! Altho, yes it is part of their charm and part of customers frustration. Not unlike tourist that went to Bali for culture and then frustrated that the laundry woman ghost 'em for a ceremony in the temple.
Gw pas liat hargany di website ini worth every rupiah banget!!! Beneran full handmade dgn harga sgtu mah muraah bgt dbanding dengan designer fancy dluar sana lohhh
I do love these types of videos. It gives a face to the businesses you hear about. It also really shows there are passionate people who want to make a great product. Supporting small businesses is never a bad thing.
as a bloke who's been living in Cibaduyut since 1993, yea the shoe quality here back then is just spectacular. i still have a custom made dress shoes to pair with my suit that i made all the way back in 2008 and it still last to this very day. i've resole it like ... 3x already. still going strong. nowadays sadly, it's rare to find similar legendary craftmanship they since the elder not always teach everything they know to their apprentices, and ofc... cutting corners here and there. it is nice to see that there is at least one boots maker who still try to maintain the legendary quality of Cibaduyut shoes.
Enjoyed this video, thank you! At the time of this airing, I have a pair of Sagara Boondockers enroute with DHL. Bear in mind I ordered the boots 352 days ago. My take is that Sagara's popularity has exploded their lead times, which might put off some potential buyers. I have a Fortis order that is 207 days old at this point. My Jakkrabbits latest order took 75 days, much longer than their estimate of around 45 days. The Indonesian makers have rocketed in popularity and their production times and prices have likewise expanded. This trend will likely continue...
My Junkard order so far is 97 days. Their lead time is 3 to 4 months, so I'm suspecting an extension by 2 weeks to a month because Tangguh informed me March orders would only begin production in July. So if I'm being optimistic, it's early Aug that I'm getting my boots. I plan to get a boondocker as well, just unsure whether to stick with Junkard or try Jakkrabbits. Sagara and some of the bigger or popular makers are pretty expensive nowadays.
Think Junkard is incredibly underrated as well. One of the few indo makers with a very detailed website and lots of interesting designs. Their new SC-X last is a good sign to me too. They are refining their lasts, which is the one area Indonesian makers may lack sophistication compared to longstanding american or european makers. Patiently waiting for my boots!
On the question of Dutch and Chinese: Since before Dutch colonization,Chinese have migrated to Java for centuries. They were even part of the reason of the spread of Islam in Java. During the Dutch colonization, some Chinese people in Indonesia acted as business mediators between the Dutch and the local people, extracting labor power of the peasants in sugar industry and other plantation. Other chinese people were mere wage laborers like the the natives, working for meager wage. During Japanese occupation and decolonization process, many Dutch businesses were left behind by the Dutch themselves due to the instability or were nationalized. Probably the Chinese businessmen take more role from that moment. So the craftmen have been there for generations, while the owners and consumers changed. Those interested can see Alexander Claver's Dutch Commerce and Chinese Merchants in Java: Colonial Relationships in Trade and Finance, 1800-1942 by Brill (2014).
Some chinese indonesians are very rich but many other ethic group has very rich people too (Javanese especially). The racial politics loves to highlight chinese indonesians' affluence to put them as scapegoats to be blamed and slaughtered in times of trouble. This has happened since Dutch colonization. The latest widespread scapegoating happened during the 1998 riot. While Suharto's family has reaped the nation's wealth rapaciously, the mass riot were directed toward middle class chinese indonesian merchants around the nation. It was ugly.
@@ryanpiyo98some chinese are super rich...some are super poor... But peoples always highlighting super rich chinese while ignoring the super poor.. In borneo...sumatera...there are tons of super poor chinese...while in java..chinese generally are better but you still can find them living in jakarta slums...and still tons of poor living in suburb area...
Bandung itu menurutku sudah sukses membangun citra pakaian berkualitas. Dulunya kyk terkenal nyontek desain, bahan agak kureng,plagiat merk, sekarang karena sudah melewati tahap itu menjadi punya kesadaran membuat produk mereka sendiri. Salut sih. Dulu aku menantikan jg produk knalpot KW Purbalingga menjadi daerah produksi knalpot2 produk mereka sendiri, tdk lg membuat KW nyontek merk terkenal. Kyknya skg sudah mulai berubah ke arah lebih baik jg.
I have bought some shoes originally made from Bandung, the shoes they made is durable, last longer, and so sturdy. Love from one of the costumers from Kalimantan Barat.❤
This was great, Nick. I’m sticking with my thought that you have such a cool job getting to visit some of the best tanneries and boot makers in the world. If I remember correctly, he did an episode with the guys at Stitchdown podcast that’s well worth the time too.
Saran terkait pajak saat 8mpor bahan baku, coba manfaatkan fasilitas kemudahan impor tujuan ekspor (KITE), dgn fasilitas ini impor bahan baku dibebaskan dr pajak dgn catatan barang jadinya utk diekspor, klo dijual lokal maka akan ditagih pajaknya😅
glad Cibaduyut get some recognition from another country. i had some school project to analysis the workstation of a shoes homecrafting company, it was quite big name there but he said he is struggling from many aspects, one of them is, pricing and also compete with foreign brands. the interview was >5 years ago tho, hopefully they are still exist. if you guys have school or university project, please be serious to study this business from aspect that you all really advanced on. Cibaduyut has its unique story and need your fresh idea to keep improving boisss
This is a perspective from Indonesia customer. I always wanted a sagara boots, but without trying the fitting, I'm not comfortable in buying blind. And as an Indonesian, I'm not that familiar with boots, what is a common knowledge to American customer about boots is very very new to us, it's not in our culture wearing any kind of leather boots. Sure we can research online, but different sources say different thing, without proper guidance from someone knowledgeable, we are lost. That being said, I've owned couple of red wings (kinda ironic), maybe someday I will pull the trigger on Sagara.
I'm a boots lover! Good genuine leather boots really last for decades and really comfy. Today many online shops sells various kind of boots which also cheaper. But I still prefer the high quality of boots.
Talks about the quality and stylist, Bandung is the center of stylist product in Indonesia, thats why Bandung called as Paris Van Java. Indonesia is the number one for quality from garmen and shoes, so if you find any garmen and shoes products with words Made in Indonesia, just buy it, believe me you never dissapointed
Cibaduyut leather crafts are famous for their quality, I have had a leather wallet from there for more than 10 years and it is still in good condition even now, even though I am a field worker who is often exposed to hot, damp, dusty rain 😀
gw yang orang indonesia malah baru tau klo sepatu buatan indonesia khususnya bandung terkenal sampai luar negeri, auto check out langsung di shoppe untuk tes
Indonesian boots actually famous before WW2. Even there is a Korean War movie describe a Korean soldier want to buy his dream boots made in Indonesia. However decades later, all these boots, leathers, all textile products were exported into Europe, US, etc in "blank brand" in CHEAP cost. Then the European or American put their brands on this like Gucci, LV, etc and sell it hundreds times more expensive that they spent from Indonesia.
Greetings from Jakarta, Indonesia 🇮🇩have some wonderful time in Bandung, West Java. Boots made in Bandung, is one the best boots 👢 maker in the world 🌏🌍🌎
Kendalanya disini memang untuk kita UMKM yg mau go Inter, kita datengin bahan baku kesini kena pajak yg mahal, dan giliran udh selesai produksi mau kirim lagi ongkos kirimnya ga ngotak! Mas bagus ini salah satu pelaku yg ngerasain dampaknya. Padahal produknya udh bisa bersaing sama brand global.
I did not know this .. 😯😯😯 or , maybe because I'm not leather fans ? But however, I really appreciate it that you also like products that made in Indonesia 🇮🇩❤️🙏😊😘
Gw pernah minta dibeliin sandal Homyped. Lalu nyokap minta bikinin sepatu mirip Homyped ke orang cibaduyut. Tadinya gw kecewa tapi ternyata kualitasnya bener2 luar biasa. Sepatu nya dilem ga di jait, tapi udah 5 taun, lemnya belon lepas! Padahal gw pake maenan aer. Mana ringan lagi. Gw nanya ke nyokap, kok bisa sekuat ini? Nyokap bilang, ya tergantung permintaan, cuman ada kualitas, ada harga. Tapi harga nya tetep ga semahal Homyped asli
It's a little bit ironic when I know Sagara from your vids since I'm Indonesian 😅 I hope one day I can afford boots from Sagara in the future without askinfmg the cheapest price😅
ugh i never know if the music will be too loud or not, i think it depends so much on the individual's audio settings and what kind of speakers/earbuds they use. good feedback though Ibrahim, really glad you liked it nonetheless!
@@Stridewise I've been watching your videos for years now.. I actually ordered a pair of the seventh in shell cordovan about 3 months ago , and that was thanks to your recommendations. I don't know if you remember me asking you about shell cordovan and the best Chelsea boots out there, and that was before "the top 10 best Chelsea boots video" you made. I really appreciate what you do man. However, I don't really think it's my speakers and giving the fact that English isn't my first language nor it's your guest's. The music made it a bit too difficult to understand, but the caption was a really thoughtful touch.
@@ibrahimalzahrani4587 That's so great! I love it when i help someone choose a boot they love, and especially when it's something that's so niche and hard to order like an Indonesian one!
nice...I'm also from Bandung... the difference between handmade and machine made is because the human body can feel if something is wrong but It's very different from a machine which can't feel good or bad, but for neatness of the product the machine is better.
