Nice ?

I wish Ridgeway was their default sole option.

Agreed. I wonder why it isnt used more often.

So basically we need to find a Pekin proxy now...

I’m two hours away from Pekin. I suppose if there was enough interest I could make trips. Depends on how much you’re saving versus sending them to Brian...and waiting.

How long do each one take? Planning to send my trickers to Brian to get relasted

Pekin has a faster turnaround than Brian. Last I heard Brian wouldn’t get to new orders until 2020

My experience was a 2-4 week turn around.

Sent some Truman’s to Brian for a resole. I’m at 14 weeks and counting....

He was done my stuff in a week, going to be hard to find anyone else with that kind of turnaround that actually does good work.

Also I meant Pekin not Brian.

I think it’s fair to say it is worth the wait for quality work, regardless who does it. I personally don’t mind waiting several months for perfection

Pekin Shoe Repair alternative:

I chatted with Baker Boots via Instagram (ig:bakerboot in Eugene, OR. https://www.bakershoe.com/)

They are somewhere between Pekin and Brian for price (totally depends on what you’re getting done) with a turn around time of approximately 4-6 weeks.

I was told to ask for Kyle or Brandon for info to get a job started.

Their work looks good to me.

Rebuild example:

in my mind, I agree that Brian’s attention to detail is unmatched but if I need to get something that is not a critical it’s be good to have a quicker alternative

Looks like they’re borrowing from their workbook line.

These look very similar to aged bark. What's the texture like?

I think it’s just natural chromexcel. I hope this means more patterns taken from their work boot archives. Would be cool to see a casual version of their stallion pull ups.
