Working on Royal Guard Boots

Post by Dee »

Hi everyone.

Just wanted to let you know that we are working on accurate boots and hopefully will be able to offer you a steady supply here in Europe soon.

This is the current version:

We are not really happy with a few details yet, V2 already in progress.

What do you think so far?

Is the red more of a Brick Red? Could be the way it photographs, but colour wise I would love to see it more of a vibrant red?? :)

Then again that could be finish for later on?

I'm sure the guys here will have some actual good input, rather than my ramblings ;)

The photos they sent weren't really bright overall. It's actually a more vibrant red. :)

Just want to know what would you change? What would your price point be compared to what we get in SA? Also what would you be shipping worldwide or just in Europe?

Price will be around 180-200 Euro. Shipping worldwide.

What I'm absolutely not happy with right now are the soles.
The seam and stitching should be different as well, as seen here:

We are working on a V2 of these.

We'll change the material to finer leather and try a few different soles. As said before, I'm absolutely not happy with the current one. Also, we'll change the pattern slightly since the thinner leather allows a pointier look.
It should be possible to get them lined as well, if the price stays reasonable, that is.

As soon as I get an update, I'll let you know.

The prototype took longer than expected, but I should finally get a few pics next week!
Here's the new material: Facebook Link

- The new leather is thinner, means they'll be pointier than the V1.
- They come with a soft inner lining for more comfort.
- Well hidden zipper on the inside for easier handling
- Available with an optional hidden heel (4cm)

These boots are handmade and only made to order.
The current turnaround time is stated with 4-6 weeks, plus shipping.
