Role Club By Brian the Bootmaker
-
I wish… I cannot imagine how those will look in a year or two!
I have been dreaming about commissioning a pair of natty veg tanned "Underdogs" (see below)
I'm about to order a pair of Underdogs in Black Shell Cordovan. I have a pair of engineer boots and Marine boondockers that he made me two years ago and his work is meticulous.
Brian is professional and a decent, nice guy. -
Underdogs are fantastic
-
I think I am going to swing by his shop either this week or next and place my first order. Figured since he's so close I might as well take the guesswork out of any sizing and have him measure me up correctly.
-
Love the Engineers but just got some Lofgrens so thinking either the Underdogs or service boots. I like that captoe addition also. I wonder if he's done an Underdog in oxblood shell cordovan…
-
Well I went to see Brian back in Nov (on my birthday no less) and picked up a one-off test pair of "dressy" monkey boots as he called them that happened to be a perfect fit. Look good with the 634S.
I spent nearly 2 hours chatting with him, getting measured up, talking through his journey as a bootmaker and upcoming plans. A true artisan and very humble person who does not take his success for granted.
-
He also recently posted up a WIP pic of my two-tone shell Underdogs that should be completed shortly. Can't wait!
-
Funnily enough Brian just texted me saying my Underdogs will be finished up this week.
Went with a low woodsman, brown trim, forget now if I went with cork or not… lol!
-
Ready for pickup - will swing by the shop on Wednesday.
