@@kato2395 I got your point. However, the way I see it, the pride is coming from a good achievement, not from a thin air.

Crazyyy

[@bryanduchane2371]

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!!!

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.

Hello Nick. As an Indonesian, I'm mad at you because I'm very addicted to 10 pairs of Indonesian boots that you mentioned and promoted for several years (including Sagara, Junkard, Txture, Jakkrabbits, and Santalum) 🤣 Jokes aside, I'm really happy that Indonesian bootmakers are really compassionate for their works and great interview too!

[@tony_r_pierce]

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]

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.

Most Indo boots are just a finely made product and worth every penny. Have a few myself. BUT PLEASE, makers in Indonesia. Hire communications people to your teams.

Better communications would do your businesses a world of good.

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).

[@ryanpiyo98]

The richest ethnicity in Indonesia are the indo-chinese I believe.

[@hndrwn]

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.
