SHOE NO. 1

The oxfords I made in Budapest for Heidi....





...And the tools I used to make them. 























I labored over these shoes for 10 days during my apprenticeship at the Koronya workshop in Budapest last month.  I created a classic oxford pattern, cut from high-quality, matted leather and on soles that I painstakingly carved from durable cow-neck, using tools #1 and #6.  I'm thrilled, and admittedly surprised, that all 10 fingers are still attached and working.  

More news on shoes and Budapest adventures to come!

BLACK + WHITE






Nice black and white photos. As simple as that.
(Sorry- I don't know any credits. I've had them stashed away forever)

PLACES VI








After being a distant admirer for five plus years, I finally made it. Even in the winter, it's an amazing place to be.

GARDEN & GUN



Our subscription to Garden&Gun is the most reliably satisfying in the over-the-top mound of magazines we receive every month. We think it's because of the way they seamlessly bring together tradition + cutting edge, the deep south + NYC, bbq pits + oyster bars, and of course their appreciation for all things artisanal.

Regardless of whether or not you have southern roots, we think you'll like it!
