I open up for orders once a year through a submission form, the best way to be notified is by signing up for my newsletter below. Currently each pair takes me around 50-60 hours to complete, so slowness is to be expected.
When I open up my books I publish a google form that allows you to submit a proposed makeup. You can choose things like pattern, leather, hardware, sole, etc (you can visit the leather options + specs page for more details on what’s available).
Once the form closes, I will go through each submission and select a number of proposals to work on. This allows me to have a good variety of patterns, leathers, and sizing for each round of orders. The submission process also allows me to better keep track of who has submitted in the past and offer slots to those who have submitted multiple times and not been picked.
I contact those who are selected via email to confirm their order. A non-refundable $500 deposit is required to hold your slot and will be applied to the final cost of your pair.
All sales are final, canceling your order after construction has begun forfeits your deposit and any paid balance.
