Nicholas Templeman: A Bespoke Shoemaker

[ntempleman]

It’s by far the best way of keeping the facings together for making, those bad boys are locked in tight so no wandering open. Every pair from Lobb is made that way

 

[patrickBOOTH]

Do you also make corsets?

 

[ntempleman]

We do actually use whalebone as a tool, I probably have enough to make you a corset. What shade of leather?

 

[patrickBOOTH]

Come on, man. Black!

 

[dauster]

Did anyone here order these? Love everything about them. Would love to see some pics in the wild !

I had a dream last night that Nicholas returned to NYC with my fitters. I liked them very much, however he glued a rubber sole on the bottoms. I was rather confused and disappointed, however I asked him if I could pay my balance in cash (in GBP) from a currency exchange. He promptly opened up a case that looked like it would hold an accordion. It turned out to be a GBP printing device where he typed in the balance and it spit GBP out like an ATM. I need one of those devices.

I used to dream that becoming a shoemaker would be like printing money but things don’t seem to be working out quite that way

If you mean a difficult and intricate process that requires a lot of time consuming work, while not intended to be profitable, then its probably exactly like the printing of money

?

glad you like the shoes though, are you ready for your next order, sir?

 

[patrickBOOTH]

Not if they have cemented rubber soles.

 

[ntempleman]

Cost?

 

[patrickBOOTH]

Wut?
