    I FINALLY VISITED INDONESIA!!! This video is almost a year in the making and it's the first of four that will take you to the enigmatic city of artists and craftsmen called Bandung, the capital of the West Java province. Sagara Bootmaker has a months-long waiting list to purchase their boots and Americans are more than happy to wait because in the world of luxury casual footwear, many believe there's nothing better than Sagara. With thick horse leather, hand sewn Norwegian welts, rare Dr. Sole soles from Taiwan, and multiple midsoles thicker than almost anything made stateside, this is an area of shoemaking that deserves a hands-on look. So I went!

      Because of american culture? American boots are great because of its sturdiness, no Indonesians boot are built as strong and as sturdy as American flagship PNW boots. Indonesian boot are only winning in style and tidiness of work and perhaps more handmade aspect without machine if you care a lot about that.

      @@kato2395 I got your point. However, the way I see it, the pride is coming from a good achievement, not from a thin air. And to the broader context, Indonesia is still invisible despite the enormous potential talents like Bagus. So, the 'pride' here as an antidote to being inferior. Well, of course, too much anything, even good things like Love will kill you. That's a no brainer.

    On the question of Dutch and Chinese: Since before Dutch colonization,Chinese have migrated to Java for centuries. They were even part of the reason of the spread of Islam in Java. During the Dutch colonization, some Chinese people in Indonesia acted as business mediators between the Dutch and the local people, extracting labor power of the peasants in sugar industry and other plantation. Other chinese people were mere wage laborers like the the natives, working for meager wage. During Japanese occupation and decolonization process, many Dutch businesses were left behind by the Dutch themselves due to the instability or were nationalized. Probably the Chinese businessmen take more role from that moment. So the craftmen have been there for generations, while the owners and consumers changed.
    Those interested can see Alexander Claver's Dutch Commerce and Chinese
    Merchants in Java: Colonial Relationships in Trade and Finance, 1800-1942 by Brill (2014).

      Some chinese indonesians are very rich but many other ethic group has very rich people too (Javanese especially). The racial politics loves to highlight chinese indonesians' affluence to put them as scapegoats to be blamed and slaughtered in times of trouble. This has happened since Dutch colonization. The latest widespread scapegoating happened during the 1998 riot. While Suharto's family has reaped the nation's wealth rapaciously, the mass riot were directed toward middle class chinese indonesian merchants around the nation. It was ugly.

    Hello Nick, I just received my cordmaster horse butt boots and I love the way they fit and the wait was only 4 months. The craftsmanship is amazing. I generally like the service boot but these fit great. I have to admit that the natural color is to light and I do not have the patience for the natural darkening so I used a brown Safire cream conditioner and I one hour my boot look six months old. The Maryam Horse hide that Sagara used is the best I have seen and I have 6 pairs of horse hide boots. Thanks for the recommendation.

    Because of your video on the top Indo boot manufacturers, I bought a pair of Txture Sanity boots. Have had them for 6 months and they have almost replaced my full leather flops, mandatory SC Summer footwear!!
    If you're looking for a fine hand welted casual or dress boot, give Txture a hard look. Mid priced Indo boots with plenty of custom options and easy to order using IG. Their customer service is amazing, but lead times can be extended. I can assure you the extra month or so is well worth the quality, appearance and comfort Txture offers. I've had a number of people I didn't know approach me and ask where I purchased my boots, not knowing they were handmade by Txture ..... I'm a typical 50yr old man people typically ignore, but these boots have spawned some very interesting conversations I didn't expect.....
    Thanks so much for introducing Indo footwear to me and those who should take your advice on their not manufacturers. Without your video, I wouldn't own the finest footwear ever to grace my middle class feet!!!

    Enjoyed this video, thank you! At the time of this airing, I have a pair of Sagara Boondockers enroute with DHL. Bear in mind I ordered the boots 352 days ago. My take is that Sagara's popularity has exploded their lead times, which might put off some potential buyers. I have a Fortis order that is 207 days old at this point. My Jakkrabbits latest order took 75 days, much longer than their estimate of around 45 days. The Indonesian makers have rocketed in popularity and their production times and prices have likewise expanded. This trend will likely continue...

    • @ryanpiyo98
      @ryanpiyo98 Před 20 dny +1

      My Junkard order so far is 97 days. Their lead time is 3 to 4 months, so I'm suspecting an extension by 2 weeks to a month because Tangguh informed me March orders would only begin production in July. So if I'm being optimistic, it's early Aug that I'm getting my boots. I plan to get a boondocker as well, just unsure whether to stick with Junkard or try Jakkrabbits. Sagara and some of the bigger or popular makers are pretty expensive nowadays.

    It's a little bit ironic when I know Sagara from your vids since I'm Indonesian 😅
    I hope one day I can afford boots from Sagara in the future without askinfmg the cheapest price😅

    Kendalanya disini memang untuk kita UMKM yg mau go Inter, kita datengin bahan baku kesini kena pajak yg mahal, dan giliran udh selesai produksi mau kirim lagi ongkos kirimnya ga ngotak! Mas bagus ini salah satu pelaku yg ngerasain dampaknya. Padahal produknya udh bisa bersaing sama brand global.

    This is a perspective from Indonesia customer. I always wanted a sagara boots, but without trying the fitting, I'm not comfortable in buying blind. And as an Indonesian, I'm not that familiar with boots, what is a common knowledge to American customer about boots is very very new to us, it's not in our culture wearing any kind of leather boots. Sure we can research online, but different sources say different thing, without proper guidance from someone knowledgeable, we are lost. That being said, I've owned couple of red wings (kinda ironic), maybe someday I will pull the trigger on Sagara.

    @swaggerman3 Před 17 dny

    The thing about Indonesian boots is that it generally lack creativity. No one dared to push boundaries or even came up with creative designs like ccp or pollacki. Hell, even Oree have better designs, and their quality is sub-par.

    • @ryanpiyo98
      @ryanpiyo98 Před 15 dny

      Completely different styles. People who like heritage style don't care for modern street style designed boots. What you consider creativity, most people in the heritage boot space would consider lunacy. Being creative is someone like alehandroshoes or unsung house, proper shoemakers. No one cares about fashion designers lmao
