clinch | jodhpur boots - black overdyed horsebutt
clinch is made by brass that started in 2008 as one of the first high-end shoe repair shops in tokyo. founder minoru matsuura and his company quickly gained notoriety for their high standard of work and evolved from shoe repair, to re-lasting to their custom lasts, to building incredible footwear around their custom lasts. in 2012 mr. matsuura launched his brand clinch by brass tokyo. all clinch boots are fully made by hand, start to finish, using the very best materials through an extremely time consuming process: hand cut, soaked, sewn, lasted, hammered and finished. these boots truly are a labour of love and a work of art and will last a lifetime.
clinch's jodhpur boot is an elegant mix of traditional jodhpur, engineer and western boots. the usual low jodhpur heel has been replaced by a "logger" heel, and the vamp front features a mechanical crease line through the center, (an aesthetic detail developed as a result of the lasting process) similar to certain vintage engineer boots. the boot is made in tokyo from the finest tea-core horsebutt leather, which will uniquely and beautifully age with wear.
