Lead Times & Shipping
Editions are built in runs, not held in a warehouse. Here's what happens between your order and the box on your porch.
What to expect
Every pair is made to order. Nothing is held in a warehouse — your boots are built once the run goes into production.
You order. Your order is for a specific edition and size, and you're charged when you place it.
The run goes into production — made to order. Lasting, welting, the embroidery and the laser-cut leather overlays are all done by hand. This is the part that takes the time, and it's the part you're paying for.
We ship. Tracking goes out the day your pair is quality checked and leaves our warehouse.
Where each edition stands

Dates for editions in production are announced to the waitlist before they go public.
Why it takes time
A welt is a stitched construction, not a glued one. The upper, the welt and the insole are sewn together, then the outsole is stitched to the welt. That's what makes the boot resoleable years from now, and it's what makes it slow to build today.
The school mark adds a step on top of that. The leather overlay is laser-cut and the embroidery worked on the shaft before the boot is assembled, one pair at a time.
