Brass have just reopened their Tokyo shop in Daita, Setagaya, after a refurbishment. I believe they make the finest work boots in the world. They currently have few retail outlets in Japan, a dealer in Sweden, and are only open to orders a few times a year.

I've been by their store on accident. Was pretty impressed. Kinda wish I could justify more boots, looking at those pictures. :(

New work shoes. The first version was difficult to maintain, so I asked for an antiqued toe cap. The black is actually dark brown died black, and the brown will come through as the leather ages.

Those suede derbies are amazing is both texture and shape.

I want to hug them for some reason.

I like the flat toes on these. Too bad they only make up to size 11.
