Funny, I wore my MAB suit today for my daughter's first birthday photo session with Elkin. Glad he was taken care of.

30+ yo folks in here? I feel like a kid at 23.
Glad I went through multiple phases from 18-21yo:
1.) Sup x APC x Vans
2.) Flannels x Black Acne Max x Clarks DBs
3.) Looser fits (EG / Nepenthes inspired)
4.) Menswear / suits (kudos to @wj4 inspiration)
5.) Now simple fits with quality pieces (heavy wool jackets, darker colors, clean tailoring, no more skinny fits) -- I could never pull off SL stuff like @Pinoy732

You're the same age as Adrian but probably a lot less annoying.
Our styles are always evolving even though it may be on a very minute scale.
Elkin done traded the suits in for toys. RIP

This thread was never normal to start off with, man
To those interested in ordering SEF boots, I would suggest doing it now or as soon as possible. Note that I have no ties with the company nor do I know their whole business plan. This is just my 2 cents based on my personal experience and knowledge.
The previous runs were smooth, shoes received within a month of ordering. Details are amazing, from the boxing and personal note. The guy is a one man show. He answers all the emails. He used to reply daily when I hit him up 5 weeks ago to inquire about the cropped Jodphur boots. I emailed him again since it's been a month and no word. Took him couple days to reply, not mad at that...but this is the first batch. Once people get them in, pics go up, even more people will order. And when new colors become available, more will even order. He's already off by a week or so with the first batch. If he can't scale his production, wait time is going to increase. Even if he can scale his production, I think the prices will go up slowly. He found a nice niche, making high quality boots at 1/5 or so the price of SLP or whatever and rely on boards like KTT/SF/NT to market.

waiting on the grey chelseas to be available, last i read it was scheduled for late october?
this thread has a real sense of community/shared interest, all the others are a mess (probably due to the nature of sneaker collecting). i owe an introduction/beer to @pinoy732 since i flaked on the last attempt

Hi Michael,
Thanks for getting back.
The August 14 batch is currently being shipped out. Including yours.
You will receive a delivery confirmation e-mail with tracking and shipping details once it has been dispatched. The latest this Friday.
Sorry for the 3-5 days delay.
Best, Lian

It's too bad people can't recognize when they have a good thing going for them (ie. these boots being offered for a massive discount over what they could retail for).
When it comes to manufacturing, delays are inevitable. Sending a bunch of emails isn't going to result in things moving any quicker. I'm not even sure why people are emailing in the first place, given that he explicitly said lead times would be about a month from production and right now we're exactly one month out.
The people that are continuously harassing Lian (not saying you are Wis) are the reason prices will soon increase. I'm sure his production is completely scalable but having to reply to a dozen emails from the same people wanting to change their orders, request that the package be marked as a gift, etc... that unfortunately is not. Hiring support staff is not cheap, nor is it easy given they are the first lines of communication between the customer and the company and you need to make damn sure they're sipping on the company Kool Aid.
Enjoy it while you can.

People are cautious with their money. They just want to make sure everything is gravy. With everything there will be annoying customers.

Word. Just forget about your order for a month. He'll email you once they've shipped. This is why we can't have nice things. Y'all gotta take the bullying out of this thread and start bullying Lian, bullies.
Side note I just sold my SEF Chelsea's last week for $250 shipped. Basically got my money back so I was happy. Guy that bought them was ecstatic when he received the package.
