Thanks! They quoted me at 5-6 months but it actually finished in a little over 4 months.Beautiful. What was the wait time?
Oh nice! I put in an order about 3.5 months ago. I’m fine waiting the full 6 months, but it would be an awesome surprise to only have to wait another month.Thanks! They quoted me at 5-6 months but it actually finished in a little over 4 months.
So this is actually my second order from them. Previous was in the kujang last in brown oiled Shinki and I luckily sized that perfectly. As a result, sizing for this one was less of a hassle. I basically gave my measurements wearing socks and told them my viberg 2030 sizing for reference and it ended up working out perfectly. I’m sure yours will come out fine! It’s definitely nerve wracking for sure though so I don’t blame youOh nice! I put in an order about 3.5 months ago.

How was the sizing? I went with their recommendation, and since then I’ve read a number of people suggesting that you should size up a half size from whatever they recommend. Kinda worried that they aren’t gonna fit, which I would be mega bummed about.
Good to hear. I did the same, but gave my red wings size. Fingers crossed I guess lol.So this is actually my second order from them.

Hi guys. I'm looking to order a chelsea boots from Indonesian makers. I'm looking for a wholecut, and currently torn between santalum, renav, fortis, and tahura. I'd love to put junkard on the list, but they don't have wholecut on their article. Benzein(briselblack) looks awesome, but it's way out of my budget.
I don't mind the wait time, as long as the end results and quality are good. I read in reddit that santalum has beautiful lasts, but their stitching and finishing are not particularly good. I took a look at fortis and their stitching seems tidy from pictures, but I think the last is too rugged and squared.
Which would you guys recommend? Any other suggestions are welcomed
Have had great experiences with Tahura. Recommend them strongly. Their work is good and prices are still reasonable. Communication is good as well.Hi guys.

Oh my. That's a bummer. I was really looking forward to ordering a pair of sneakers from them. Thank you for the heads up. I'll try to confront them about this. I've been messaging them back on forth these couple daysSantalum has not delivered boots to customers and have gone dark on IG.
Stridewise got ghosted on his order and has posted about it on his IG stories. Pigeontree crafting does collabs with Santalum and his latest boot is in jeopardy.
Don't buy from Santalum until the air has cleared but it doesn't look good for them.

Thank you. +1 point for tahura then. They are a bit more expensive compared to the other three, Like middle ground between santalum and benzein. I wonder if I should just save up, cry hard once, and just buy benzein. Are they really substantially better compared to tahura and the others?Have had great experiences with Tahura.

No experience with Benzein personally.Oh my. That's a bummer. I was really looking forward to ordering a pair of sneakers from them. Thank you for the heads up. I'll try to confront them about this. I've been messaging them back on forth these couple days

Just got these Renav slippers that I had him do close specs to my viberg slippers. Seems pretty good.Got these in natural Maryam TPR horsebutt with a leather sole and dovetail heel
So I’m UK8 or US9 which I’m also a size 8 across the viberg lasts but the my viberg slippers are one size down from 2030 so it’s a size 7. The sizing he based mine was on my oxfords in crust Cloe shell that I got from him (which I was going to post another time) in a size 41 in his A1 last. So I’m guessing you’d be 42?These are amazing saw Renav post these on his IG, did you have him base them on the 2010 last? I take the 2010 in Viberg size 8.5 and the 2030 in size 9.5 - what would be the equivalent Renav size?
Oh wait you said 9.5 in the 2030 so then that would mean size 44?These are amazing saw Renav post these on his IG, did you have him base them on the 2010 last? I take the 2010 in Viberg size 8.5 and the 2030 in size 9.5 - what would be the equivalent Renav size?
they look great! mind sharing what you paid for these?Just got these Renav slippers that I had him do close specs to my viberg slippers. Seems pretty good.Got these in natural Maryam TPR horsebutt with a leather sole and dovetail heel
