About

The Cordmaster is a heritage boot model manufactured by Sagara, an Indonesian bootmaker established in 2010. The Cordmaster represents Sagara's commitment to traditional handwelted construction methods, utilizing techniques preserved from 19th century bootmaking.

The boot features handwelted Goodyear construction with Morgan last design and structured toe box configuration. Available in multiple leather options including shell cordovan and domestic Tea-Core leather, the Cordmaster serves heritage footwear enthusiasts seeking traditional construction methods combined with customizable materials and specifications.

Construction and Design

The Cordmaster utilizes handwelted Goodyear construction, representing traditional Indonesian bootmaking heritage. The construction process preserves 19th century techniques that emphasize hand-lasting and hand-welting methods rather than machine production.

The boot features a Morgan last with structured toe box construction, providing a classic profile suitable for heritage footwear applications. Norwegian Storm Welt construction is available for enhanced waterproof performance, featuring 270° outsole stitching that creates superior weather resistance.

Standard construction includes 4.5mm thick insoles with single leather midsoles, though double midsole configurations are available for enhanced support and custom fit characteristics. The thicker insoles and optional double midsoles contribute to the boot's durability and molding properties over extended wear.

Materials and Options

Cordmaster boots are manufactured using premium leather selections sourced internationally. Standard options include Cloe Horserump Superlux leather available in black and burgundy colorations, providing traditional finished leather characteristics.

The domestic "Tea-Core" leather option features semi-vegtan cowhide construction with black top coat applied over brown undertone leather. This specialized leather requires minimal break-in period due to its lightweight construction properties, while developing character over time as the black coating naturally ages to reveal the brown base layer.

Shell cordovan options are available from international tanneries, representing the premium tier of material selections. Various outsole configurations include #1081 Cork Full Sole and #1091 Cork Half Sole options, with block heel construction standard across all models.

Sizing and Pricing

Cordmaster boots are available in sizes ranging from 40-45, including half-size increments, manufactured exclusively in D width. Brannock sizing equivalents span from 7D to 12D, with length measurements ranging from 257mm to 290mm to accommodate various foot dimensions.

Pricing structures reflect material and construction specifications, with standard Cloe Horserump configurations priced at Rp 5,400,000 IDR. The domestic Tea-Core leather variant is available at Rp 4,400,000 IDR, positioned as an accessible entry point while maintaining the same construction standards.

The pricing reflects Sagara's position in the heritage footwear market, where comparable handwelted construction from established manufacturers typically commands premium pricing. The Indonesian production allows for traditional construction methods at pricing levels that make heritage bootmaking accessible to collectors and enthusiasts globally.
