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.

[UnTucked]

I have 2 pairs as well: Engineers, and what happens to be his first lace-ups (My M-42 Service Shoes).

Underdogs are likely my next purchase. EVENTUALLY… No time soon. They're gorgeous, definitely. And, the custom fit for everything he makes is beyond belief.

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.

Engineers? Underdogs?

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!

[neph93]

^oh wow… they are going to be something special.

[UnTucked]

So you're the lucky guy!

Those Underdogs are gonna be awesome!

Soles?

Brown trim, and cork half soles?

[UnTucked]

Btw, welcome to the "club"!!!

[Manticore]

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.
