I am the third generation buyer of this man’s boots they are fantastic and beautiful! I have calf skin nick and Asian elephant main. These boots will last a life time if properly taken of. They are 100% custom down to every item. They will fit your feet like a glove. You will need to call them to get an order form. They are old school. He will send you a paper form to trace your foot and how you would like the boots to look including leather samples. He has every type of leather imaginable.
His lead time is 3 months to 1 year. Prices can very between 500 to thousands of dollars; depending on leather and embroidering (can be simple like initials to something so complex like artwork) HE DOESN'T INCLUDE PRICES ON ORDER FORM so keep in mind if you choose an exotic type of leather or a complex stich pattern, you will be paying a premium.

I have been wearing the same pair of boots for 5 years now, and have had them resoled 2 times. They still look brand new and stupidly beautiful! Will be buying more in the future, maybe ostridge for...
