About GMTO:
This is just the 50% cost as deposit! Need to pay the other half when the pair are done. An email will be sent to you when your pair are ready. If the remaining is not paid within 14 days, you will be considered as giving up the pair, and you will lose your deposit. All deposits are not refundable.
For this GMTO, if there are over 20 people joined, we will be able to order enough leather from Maryam to qualify the volume discount, and we will be able to offer a further discount ($100) for everyone! It will reduce everyone's remaining. If that's the case, an announcement will be made over our Instagram account : ironboots_usa
Also, to make everything simple, surcharge (like leather sole, extra shell for large size) will only apply in the deposit, and won't be in the remaining. So everyone's remining will be the same, which is $650 or $550 if we can get volume discount.

Leather
Leather
Maryam Tannery is a famous Italy tannery located in Tuscany. Hailing from the heart of Italy, Maryam Leather prides itself on its century-old tradition of tanning, perfecting the art of transforming horsehide into exquisite shell cordovan.
Quoting from Maryam: "Shell cordovan is an equine skin made with the flat fibrous muscle (or shell) under the skin on the horse's rump also called the breech. It is worked on the part of the cartilage while keeping the flower inside and only the master tanners can bring this particular preciousness to completion. The leather takes its name from the city of Cordoba, in Spain, where it was first produced by the Visigoths in the 7th century and later in the countries of northern Africa.
It is difficult and expensive leather to make. Between the 19th and early 20th centuries, it was mainly used to sharpen the razors of barbers. More recently it has been increasingly used for shoes, wallets, bags and watch straps; thanks to its aesthetic qualities and its exceptional durability which makes it the maximum expression of the tanning art."

Lead Time
Lead Time
Current lead time is around 5 months (orders from Mar. - Oct.)
Due to Lunar New Year holiday break and end of year surge, orders from Nov. - Feb. can take around 6, or even 9 months to finish.
FYI, lead time is just an estimate, which means the actual lead time can be shorter or longer. We don't accept cancel / refund for MTO orders, even it takes longer than the estimated lead time. But if you have already waited more than the estimated lead time, you can reach out to us. We will investigate what has happened, and try everything we can to make things right.
Unfortunately it's just the natural of how customized stuff is made in a small workshop. If that's a deal breaker, you can take a look of our Ready To Wear collection instead.
