I'll hopefully be doing a lot more of these.<br />Tom: There are a few items in this world that are worth waiting for, quality shoes are certainly among them. I know the folks at Lodger well, Nathan and his team are great fun and their passion for shoes is infectious.<br />Mat: Thank you! I watched and enjoyed the bicycle shoe as well. This was such an enlightening experience. I had preconceptions of the factory being staffed only by ageing craftsman but the mix of ages is quite extraordinary. I meant to mention in the post that 90% of the people who work there live in a two mile radius. There is something very special about that stat.Style Salvage Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09637953416614454873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9178228248113361074.post-4697158880422485972010-09-03T22:32:29.141+01:002010-09-03T22:32:29.141+01:00amazing post, i would love so much to visit a fact...amazing post, i would love so much to visit a factory creating such fine pieces. i was watching a programme a couple of weeks ago about a bicycle factory in north england and this reminds me of it.<br /><br />maybe one day i will be so lucky to witness the craftmanshipMatthew Spadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043383557092161415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9178228248113361074.post-42093783861190267732010-09-03T18:25:00.999+01:002010-09-03T18:25:00.999+01:00Steve, I got the January SOMs - the canvas spectat...Steve, I got the January SOMs - the canvas spectators. Apparently there were some problems in their construction (I don't know the specifics) which turned a three month wait into nearly six! Not that I'm complaining though. They were absolutely worth the wait, and everyone who I've spoken to at Lodger has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. Hopefully I can find some time next week to go and see their new range of shoes.Tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9178228248113361074.post-77616124696831341152010-09-03T18:14:16.079+01:002010-09-03T18:14:16.079+01:00Spectacular post, very inspiring.
