Hello Mr Casey. My hubby and I were shoes makers back in the late 70s - 80s. We worked for H&M Rayne. The Queen’s shoemaker’s. We were based near Kings x. I was one of two heel coverers. My hubby stitched the shoes. He also made hand bags for The Late Queen Elizabeth and Princess Diana. We didn’t appreciate it at the time but it is a legacy we are very proud of. It was fascinating watching you making shoes. We still have some of the tools used back then. You are right, there is a real difference in factory made shoes and bespoke. At Rayne, we did both. It is an art. Wonderful video. 😊

Kirby you are to be commended for spending a considerable amount of money on a full time film crew to capture the content you provide. This example really makes me appreciate your commitment because we can all see the art of shoemaking being captured forever. As Dominic says, the process he is using is ancient and some techniques are being lost through generational changes. You are preserving some of these and that is a brilliant contribution. Thank you for what you do and I can see you are a whisker away from 600,000 subscribers which is phenomenal- congratulations in advance!!! And best wishes from Tokyo.

This reminds me of the famous pipemaker Bill ‘Ashton’ Taylor, who made all his Ashton pipes in his shed at the back of the garden, I had the privilege to visit his shed and watched him hand made my pipes. I remember Davidoff and JJ Fox used to sell his pipes. Bill Taylor was the master pipe maker for Dunhill before he started Ashton.

@kirbyallison 2 жыл бұрын

We could have even filmed him cooking up his own wax had we the time... bespoke at its highest level. For me, I love the authenticity of bespoke. Seeing something not only made entirely by hand, but made by *someone*. In today's world of anonymous manufacturing, it is a true luxury to know who is actually making something for you.

Your camera taken pictures are impecable! So many angles and details, so much respects for Dominic Casey's work! I could only add, if you get to be allowed a camera above his head, pointed at the area where he is working but his right hand don't let us see at times and another, to take pictures or impressions as well as to every tool he gets but from sort of the left side, also above or sort of high level above his head. Then you edit each takes. We can almost make a show by just seeing this gentleman work, a work that invites to honor him by buying at least one pair of shoes he does. Thank you for this production. I'll set a time to see the longer video of you and him. Thank you! And the shop is a piece of art! My tools are second handed, most of everything I own, was used by others. I'm planning to pass my everything to my son, or chikdre after me, if they let us live.

Is it possible to repair a boot or shoe when the leather has split away from the sole at the juncture between sole and upper?

@roynajecki1100 16 күн бұрын

It depends upon the method that the sole and upper were originally joined together. If a Blake stitch or welted stitch was used then a competent cobbler can do the repair, but if they were originally glued then it likely is cost prohibitive.
