"Vass is out"?
That was true, at BG, when will wrote that over a year ago. May still be.
I think what Will argues for is anathema to the best bespoke processes: make more shoes faster for wider distribution?
Please read the post before you comment on it.
No offense Will- but I read it when it first went up and again when this post came around. I enjoy your blog quite a bit. Maybe I misunderstand you but until then I stand by what I though you were saying.
I don't think Will is talking about bespoke shoes.
I think you're right there and I've made my argument tangetial to him. My bad. But I still think the growth premise and market demand end up meaning the smae thing. Just at a different scale.
Welted shoes can't be made cost-effectively except with machines that are too expensive for one man shops. That post was suggesting how high-end makers could reach more customers using the internet rather than compete for the same small number of retailers. I doubt if there'd be growth in the segment overall, but the makers adopting better distribution will win out over the ones that remain in the twentieth century.
