Why I own this
Custom
Style
I worked with Peng to design boots that would match my Joe McCoy 1930s mobster jacket - black teacore Shinki and silver hardware to match the ball and chain zippers. These two pieces have been in the majority of my outfits this fall/winter - and will continue to be going forward as they've become my favorite boots and leather jacket. I'm excited to watch as the pieces continue to develop alongside each other.
How I sized
Brannock Measurements
Compared to Other Lasts
I told Peng my Brannock measurement as well as the sizes that fit in all the boots I own - including a pair of Flame Panda in 181 last. He chose the size for me.
