    I thought you can order from Brass Tokyo as well? I checked their website just now, for yeagers, there are certain sizes available in stock while other sizes shows MTO.

    Can’t be exclusively made to order, If you visit their website you will see for some models there are some sizes available in stock.

    Oh my... he is indeed a fantastic Bootmaker! I own a pair of boots which was made by him, couple year ago, I would say those were the best price versus performance. That was a pair of engineer boots, all hand sewn welted, Maryam horse leather, and it was only about ¥5,000 (us$700). Many people...

    Thank you for your concern and your information about the Role club waiting time. 30 months is indeed a long waiting period, but so is Clinch. Although it is not as long as Role Club, I found that my size can be found on the official websites of Brass Tokyo and S&S, but Currently I do not have...

    I only started wearing them outside yesterday. I purchased them from Pancho And Lefty, I didn’t checkout straight away, instead I put those in my shopping cart. But for some reason I received a discount code directly from the website’s owner, after those boots been left in my cart for couple of...

    But I'm still very interested in their Yeager boots, and I'm debating whether to choose the boots from Role Club, which look very similar, and I find hoursebutt Leather fascinating, despite the cheaper alternatives (Red Wing's Japanese exclusive Beckman).

    I can only choose to wear them now. I actually hope that the vamp will become a little bit more aligned as I wear it. But one thing is for sure, Brass Tokyo's customer service is anything but good. As I said above, after my first E-mail, they ignored more than a month, then I sent the second...

    Like this, I already tried to push the right side and pull the left side when I lacing them, if you can understand what I mean? And this reminds me another shoe I bought very long time ago, a pair of Alden 379x last dress shoes. Those were manufacture seconds due to the vamp aligned issue. I...

    Thank you. I’m not a Instagram regular, from the images provided by the Brass Tokyo official cite, I can see their boots was fine. Again, apologies for my bad English, but I am not expecting “ perfect” aligned. Anyway I toke some images. Just wanna show for me they are more than just imperfect...

    Unfortunately it’s seems no way for me to return these, they insist these boots are fine.. definitely will think twice next time when buying expensive boots.. btw what Indonesian makers are you referring to? Could you tell me more? Thanks

    Hi! Yes I have seen people complain about Viberg as well, what I was trying to say is only based on my own experience, the pair I got was from Division Road, called Shelby sharp brogue boots( if I remember correctly). They were black waxed Horsebutt, and the leather was from Maryam Tannery...

    Yes, right Viberg are more styled rather than work boots...but same thing as Clinchs... and I agree with you definitely nobody will wearing these boots for outdoor work.

    Thank you for your detailed explanation. I agree with most of your views. In any case, this is just a matter of personal expectations. This pair of Clinch is one of my two most expensive pairs of boots. The other pair is Viberg's horse butt leather boots, which are $ 680 cheaper than this pair...

    Yes, I bought them from Pancho & Lefty, but I believe they are no longer in stock. You may consider buying them directly from Brass Tokyo. I am pretty sure mine was an isolated case, if you buy these most likely you won’t end up facing the same issues as I did. I usually wear a US 9,5 in Alden...
