    Leaving a photo here that some folk might find useful - pictures from left to right of the Marlyn, Edlyn and Landshaker lasts from Midas Bootmaker. Like everything else coming out of the Winson workshop, the price/quality ratio is near unbeatable. Interestingly, the local leather they were...

    What to choose between Vass and Antonio Meccariello

    I like both, for different reasons. I have a few pairs of conservatively styled black and brown oxfords from both makers which I have worn happily at least once a week for 4-5 years now. YMMV but my own experience from a workmanship / quality perspective has been that: Vass is insanely good...

    Thanks @clee1982 @Jmr928 @BColl_Has_Too_Many_Shoes @Adhazem If I can get hold of some finely grained skins from a reputable manufacturer, this could actually work. Super weird question alert: Does any one have experience successfully shipping leather to Emil? Does anyone have a lead on a...

Sorta joking not joking on shark - handled a...

    @Jmr928 @BColl_Has_Too_Many_Shoes Thanks for the link and suggestions - very constructive!

    @Jmr928 Thank you, no offence taken, am enjoying the discussion and I hope you are too. I am systematically going through this thread and checking the Winson and Midas specs with Emil now so that we can all work off the same data points. In the meantime, if I may, two clarifying questions...

    Winson Shoemaker (Indonesia) Thread...

    @Jmr928, I am sorry you won't be joining us :) My objective for doing a GMTO is: To get collective input on a boot design which is neither dress nor workwear but both. If I have to choose, then I will lean to the dress side. To get the best quality I can obtain. This inevitably impacts the...

    Arch looks a really well curated store. Massive photodump of aforementioned tielocken plus a pair of trousers made in beautiful fabric. Material choices really bring out the next level details and workmanship : )
