The more vintage/classic shoes have more personality to them that modern designs seem to miss. I'd love to see you discussing double-breasted suits at some point since I'm a fan of the way they look.
Watching Niklas talk about vintage men's' shoes= I'm female with zero interest in men's shoes but the way he explains is so fascinating. He could explain how to scrub your floor or chop broccoli or anything and it would still be fascinating.
I appreciate the fact that someone like you, trying to be classic and elegant, uses Kiwi shoe polish. In America, that's generally considered to be a cheap, "corner store" polish. A lot of Americans in the classic menswear space swear by fancy brands like Saphir, but you're demonstrating that its not necessary to spend a lot on high end polish or cream to do a good job.
To be fair, I personally do prefer Saphir creams for solid color shoes, just because they have so much pigment in them. And the wax is easier to work with for me.
That being said, it's nice to see demonstrated that it's not necessary.
Nice video, for sure!
I absolutely love your channel ! Thank you for the information on how to take care of leather shoes and boots.
Greetings from Saint Louis, Missouri USA, I thoroughly enjoy your content; and concur with your thoughts. I enjoy collecting men's accessories and dressing nicely for church and other special occasions. I think that your presentations, music, and settings are classy, elegant, and well done. Please be encouraged to continue the good work. Best regards, Jimmy Sherman
Awesome video. Do a video on overcoats please. And also what do you do for a living and where do you get your clothing, how can you afford them?
I'm an IT Analyst actually and buying second-hand is quite affordable.
@@VintageburscheI I agree. Thaks for the reply. Good luck in the future.
This was very relaxing to watch.
Great video! I will buy my first pair of Goodyear welted shoes this spring.
Very informative and well made content. Subscribed. Love from Australia.
For me, Berwick 1707 work well in terms of value for money. Their "house last" fits me quite nicely, the leather is rather soft right off the bat and the overall construction is sufficiently neat (around the same level as Allen Edmonds etc.).
Personally, I would stay clear of shoes by Charles Tyrwhitt: A pair I own is made of inferior "bookbinder leather", which simply won't soften up and doesn't take any conditioners/shoe creams. Apart from that, the sole seems to wear out prematurely.
you are extremely elegant!
You Got That Right..
The Loake 200B look nice too! I am currently investing in *Saphir Products* over time due to limited budget. I like your waistcoat, I've got the same one, slightly greyer though! I also use *Kiwi shoe polish* as well on my cheaper shoes!
Hi! How are you? I am questioning, can you do a video about your vests? Thank you!
I like your content, please keep going, even the views is still not much. A viewer from HK.
Tolles Video, danke. Die Schuhe sehen super aus.
Niklas, wenn ich Dir einen Tipp geben darf: Schuhe sollte man niemals gebraucht kaufen!
Den Fehler habe ich aber früher auch oft gemacht, habe mir Designerschuhe, die 800€ gekostet haben, für die Hälfte des Preises gekauft.
Dann habe ich mir (damals habe ich noch in Berlin gewohnt) ein paar Maßschuhe anfertigen lassen und habe mich mit der Schuhmacher-Meisterin unterhalten. Sie hat mir davon abgeraten, Schuhe, die bereits von einer anderen Person getragen wurden, second hand zu kaufen.
Sie meinte, dass sich bereits nach 2-3x Tragen das Fussbett des Schuhes verändert, es passt sich nach und nach der Fußform des Trägers an. Wenn also jetzt die nächste Person den gebrauchten Schuh trägt, kann es zu orthopädischen Fehlstellungen kommen. Wenn man sich bespoken Schuhe nicht leisten kann, (ich habe auch nur 1 paar, die mich 1200 Euro gekostet haben) dann lieber ein paar neue Schuhe aus dem mittleren Preissegment kaufen. Ich kaufe seitdem immer lieber ein paar Schuhe weniger, dafür aber in guter Qualität. Die Maßschuhe habe ich nun schon über 10 Jahre und trage sie auch ab und zu (zeitloses Modell, schwarzes Leder). Ansonsten bewahre ich sie auf Schuhspannern im Schuhkarton auf....Liebe Grüße aus Graz, Kathrin x.
Das stimmt, daß bei rahmengenähten Schuhen ("Goodyear welted") das Korkbett sich so an die Fußform anpassen kann, daß dies bei gebrauchten Schuhen unangenehm werden kann. Das Problem tritt nur bei rahmengenähten Schuhen auf, bei Blake stitched ("durchgenähten") Schuhen gibt es das nicht, und bei Schuhen mit geklebten Sohlen ohnehin nicht. Ich kenne die Schwierigkeiten, da ich sehr viele meiner Schuhe von Ebay bzw. Ebay-Kleinanzeigen kaufe - allerdings würde ich nur bei einigen wenigen Schuhen davon sprechen, daß mich dies beeinträchtigt.
Aber wenn es zu unangenehm wird, dann gibt es immer noch die Möglichkeit, die Außensohle erneuern zu lassen. Dann wird nämlich auch das Korkbett ersetzt und dann ist das Problem erledigt. Also, selbst wenn man diese Reparatur noch einrechnet, ist es immer noch billiger, als sich ein Paar ganz neuer Schuhe zu leisten - von Maßschuhen einmal ganz zu schweigen. Alles Gute!
Great video, I might have a weird question... I just found your channel and watched the Peaky Blinders video. I was wondering where you got the mannequin you use in the video, also I can't seem to find shoe trees anywhere, do you have any recommendations for me where I should look for these products?
You should do a video of vintage suspenders, fabrics, etc. And how to know if is a true vintage suit and ties.
I’ve been enjoying your content. Keep the videos coming. If you haven’t tried Saphir shoe care products yet, I would highly recommend doing so. After I started using their shoe creams etc. I threw everything else in the trash.
I know Saphir, but I prefer the things I mentioned in the video.
Great work on your channel. It's funny that in Germany AEs are expensive and rare in your eyes whereas in America they are considered good but not especially high class. North Americans will gravitate to the more snobbish brands like Carmina, John Lobb or Crockett/Jones which are very expensive! Just goes to show you that we always think that if it's foreign its better! BTW I favor AEs also and my spectator Ridge fields are similar to yours, Bravo!
You are all missing a cobblers shoe shine trick, castor oil rubbed over the leather, clear, high shine, sinks in quickly and makes the leather real soft after a couple of uses. I also put a little into my coloured shoe polishes. It will appear to darken shoes very slightly but its almost imperceptible once its dried. I warm the bottle in a cup of hot water to make it spread quickly in a thinner coat. Only a tiny amount needed on a sponge or cloth. Incredibly cheap as well bought from chemists. Best remedy for cracked leather, better than shoe cream, doesn't turn white over time.
Super channel!
I have been wearing Church for many years. I wear 9d even though my foot measures 9.5! USA.
Just found your channel and I'm a fan of your videos already.
Really like your style overall and your taste of shoes in particular.
Have you considered the shoe care brand Saphir?
I started using it few months ago as I have heard from many shoe enthusiasts it's the best brand in shoe care products.
I have to say I am very pleased with the products. I invite you to give it a try or at least search other youtubers how use it. You will be in awe with the results you can achive.
Greetings from Portugal!
A Excellent Video.. Highly Recommended.. Thank You For Sharing.. I Also Buy 2nd Hand Shoes On eBay..
Good work, go on please
I regret buying my Crockett & Jones boots new, I should have checked ebay first.
Please do a video where you show the 1920 gangster stale
Great video, you have a very nice colllection of shoes, i would recomend a pair of crockett & jones, they are great. thanks!!!
I tried C&J. Not for me.
where do you get all your suits and shirts man?
I have the same size as you, and probably the same shape, try Loake's same really nice fit as the AE!
You already have one black Oxford's Loake's
Do you know if Samuel windsor is any good?
Great vid! Can you make a video where you can find peaky blinders style suits? Cause when you google it you just see those really ugly cheap ones that don’ t even look like the ones from the show
He did a video on Peaky Blinders style and he has a cool blog online. If you are interested go to garrisontailors.com or shelbybrothers.com for cool PB suits. I hope this helps and I'm looking forward for a reply if it does.
Thanks the garrison site I didn’t know but the shelby brothers one has got those ugly looking suits that are totally not accurate. And the garrison sadly doesn’t have a lot of suits but I would like to thank you for it anyway!!
@@davidpoel1021 You are welcome. You can also check out johnclothier.com for great penny collar, spear and tab collar shirts and I'm also forwarding you a link with 50 vintage menswear reproduction stores if you enjoy dressing in a vintage style. You could also find something there.

Ah boots. The Balmoral boots might be improved by submerging them in water until saturated, then wearing them for the day around the house. This wet molds the leather to your foot and helps you set the creases where your ankle and the ball of your foot flex. Then add glycerine the next day to keep the leather pliable.
Exactly what my husband would do with his cowboy boots.
D is a standard width.
Can you recommend me a nice vintage Germany shoemakers please?! Thanks!
Shoepassion is a German brand which makes some nice classic shoes. Although they aren't exactly 'vintage' seeing as they are a young company.
Before the thrift store closed for the virus I had found some genuine 1940’s/50’s shoes for $20, IN MY SIZE, I will hate myself till the day I die.
I HiGHLY recommend picking up a can of saphir shoe polish. Its all natural and made in paris and is far superior to kiwi. Its a bit pricy but creates a shine like no other.
I tried Saphir and I still prefer Kiwi.
Was ich bräuchte, ist eine Anleitung speziell für den deutschen Markt. Wo kaufen, welche Bezeichnungen suchen usw?
Hier mal ein Tipp von mir. Die guten Marken sind international, da kannst du dir auch gut amerikanische Videos angucken bezüglich der Reviews. Marken die zu empfehlen sind, sind unter anderem Allen Edmonds, Alden, Meermin, Santoni, Loake, John Lobb, Trickster, Crockett and Jones, Carlos Santos, Carmina, Ludwig Reiter und so weiter. Wichtiger als die Marke ist allerdings, dass sie rahmengenäht sind (dadurch ist das wechseln der Sohle einfacher) und gut sitzen. Die Größe findet man leider nur heraus, wenn man in einen Laden geht, um einen Schuh anzuprobieren. Manchmal ein bisschen schwierig die Marken zu finden und zweitens auch grenzwertig, wenn man nur seine Größe wissen will, um bei Ebay zu kaufen. Neben Ebay findet man Lederschuhe teilweise auch auf Kleiderkreisel sehr günstig, weil diese dort nicht so nachgefragt sind. Und beim Kauf auf ein intaktes Oberleder und tiefe Kratzer im Leder achten. Diese lassen sich nicht entfernen. Eine abgelaufene Sohle neu zu machen ist immer möglich und kostet je nach Material und Schuster zwischen 40 und 100 Euro. Und immer Schuhspanner und alle 2 bis 3 Wochen fettende, pigmentierte Schuhcreme benutzen. Dadurch leben die Schuhe deutlich länger und bekommen einen netten Glanz. Wachs kann man machen muss man aber nicht unbedingt. Klassische Schuhe haben eine geschlossene Schnürung und heißen Oxfords. Diese unterscheiden sich in Wholecut, Captoe und Brogue. Mehr fällt mir gerade nicht ein.
@@cherry612 Also genau was ich befürchtet habe. Durch Versandkosten und Einfuhrgebühren wird's einfach teurer. Danke für die ausführlichen Tips. Das "rahmengenäht" heißt also Goodyear welted. Sprich, wenn's nicht gelistet da steht beim Schuh, kann ich davon ausgehen, dass eine Naht nur zur Zierde da ist, richtig?
@@needfoolthings Wofür willst du denn Einfuhrgebühr bezahlen? Ob Schuhe goodyear welted sind erkennt man auf Bildern recht gut an dem Rahmen und der Naht. Manchmal ist es allerdings nur eine Ziernaht.
Velour heißt auf Englisch "suede". Das ist Französisch und bedeutet "schwedisch". Klingt komisch, ist aber so.

Aber nichts geht über Dressboots
My recommendation is to use Saphir products for your shoes. You are using bad quality .
