★ Cravar bags helped these videos get made, they're my favorite casual men's leather bag brand, check them out: www.cravar.com/?ref=lhwv083qrut ★ I make zero dollars promoting Briselblack (they don't even have a website, I couldn't make commissions if I wanted to) but I still decided they should be included in my best Chelsea boots video: ua-cam.com/video/8ikniJe2AOw/v-deo.htmlsi=m8mJDHN1I6r8WcQL&t=387
Got rid of ALL my other Chelsea boots after picking up my Benzein Sevenths in overdyed brown Maryam veg tan, had them 3 years and are amazing with red lining, woodsman heel and Dr Sole half sole.
There is another High Quality shoe maker in Bandung you must review. Not Famous in Indonesia but they have lot of fans in Singapore and Japan. Namely Fortuna Shoes.
Shockoe 100% cotton olive ripstop field jacket. Thanks for modelling it Nick, it's been in my wishlist for a very long time and now I get to see how it looks like. Now to wait to see if that garment ever get on sales.
It's been interesting to see Southeast Asia as a region of interest in the Leather Boot / Shoe world. For years the only real Asian market for leather goods from US, UK, ITaly was Japan. As wealth increased and appreciation for high end goods increased as well in China, that became a market but there was less appreciation for the traditional stuff there, more 'designer'. Over time I've started to see Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia, etc as having more people appreciating "western craftsmanship". More collectors of American style of clothing - Workwear, Military, Motorcycle, Heritage goods. Red Wing boots have had a real explosive popularity in that region as well as selvedge denim, military jackets, US GI type of style like Aviator Sunglasses, etc. And now we see the shift from appreciation and collecting into manufacturing. People want the style they want and if importing them is too expensive or difficult they just make it themselves and it advances and gets refined. This maker appears to be one of this scene. It's interesting to see that he desires the "toe rolls" when that is something that I dislike.
When I was a young girl.. at 1970 year Cibaduyut started as shoes village... I have ever bought shoes by order... in the centre of Bandung city was appeared some shoe shops...
Great boots! Unfortunately customer service is simply lackluster. If your sizing is not correct, you will not have a good time. One of the worst customer experiences I've ever had. Paying additional out of pocket to return, not seeing the boots for another year, wouldn't return messages on Whatsapp for days to weeks, it was awful. However, if you get your sizing right, you will have one of the best and beautiful Chelseas. Good Luck!
Yeah that's the risk I would not like to take. There is no policy on the site about warranty or return or mis size etc. the boot I want made will cost $740USD. It's a fortune to drop on a boot when you're making it to order.
Hey Nick great video! I am in love with that Chelsea boot! I was between getting a pair of RM Williams Yearling boot (the higher heeled one with a leather sole) or a pair of these. Which would you suggest, since I am specifically looking for a higher heeled boot?
you'll have to ask them on their instagrams! instagram.com/sagarabootmaker instagram.com/winsonshoemaker/ instagram.com/onderhoud.handmade/ instagram.com/briselblack_bootmaker/
I am javanese and admitted the only craftmanship than can matches bandung people are japan, bali and java are good but they kinda stick to their culture and tradition, but bandung always evolve

Ngl, probably the best Chelsea’s made for the price right now. Period.
many would say even at any price!
@@Stridewise How can I order from these guys to India (internationally)
Adi is a great guy - was a pleasure communicating with him and getting my custom engineer boot specs in.
Got rid of ALL my other Chelsea boots after picking up my Benzein Sevenths in overdyed brown Maryam veg tan, had them 3 years and are amazing with red lining, woodsman heel and Dr Sole half sole.
Hell yeah dude, I had to give mine away but Adi is making a new pair, hopefully kangaroo!
That is cool man.
Does it better than any other Chelsea on market? Even George cleverly?

Briselblack because you can decide the exact height of the heel, plus it’ll be totally unique!
How can I order
Briselblack is re branding of Benzein?
yeah
Can anyone give the location of these @4:30 brands in Bandung?, i stay in Indonesia and want to visit them in person

Paid ad. Move along now...
Who cares if they are Asia's favorite boots? We are in America. And again, find a new barber.
We’re actually on the internet where both people from many places and Americans with international interests can also view content!
@@Stridewise😂 Great answer, man. Keep it positive!
