          Some cool info I found on different types of shoe constructions. As an expert, would you say this article is fairly accurate?

            @NorthernVictory pretty accurate just the stitch down construction doesnt have a welt.

                    I had the chance to meet Brian today at his shop, and he was generous enough to give me a lesson on his process and inspiration. I came away very impressed with his knowledge, workmanship, and overall kindness. The Role Clubs are stunning, too. They really have to be held to appreciate.

                                      some boots Brian did for me a while back.  Holding up pretty well, about to clean & put away for the warmer weather:

                                      if uploading wasn't such a bitch I would have much fewer images since it's such a pain in the a$$ I take as many as possible & cross my fingers one or two of them are good

                                      head high, middle finger higher
