That guy didn't want to let people talk. Annoying.

I agree that the host spoilt it - more about him than his subject. However, always interesting to see a factory tour of a shoemaking company!

Looks like there still is a lot of human hands touching the shoe. I would have imagined a lot more automation but this is interesting. Buy Buy Buy..... the pound is under 1.45 dollars now.

Cool video. Thanks for posting. Amazing that they've been in business pretty much doing the same thing for so long.

lnteresting how welt uses a chain stitch instead of a lock stitch.

The suit collar on founder was bad fit,
me would think suit would be handmade in that day,
but bad collar fit.
