Total repair of R.M.W. Gardeners, with leather restoration.

- Опубликовано: 27 май 2023
- A customer in Denmark sent me three pairs of shoes to be serviced and repaired. The R.M.W:s were in really bad shape and needed gemming repair, soles, heel counters, back linings, elastics and a quite extensive upper repair of some major cracks in the leather.
Price ended up exactly like a brand new pair. ca 500€ (5200 SEK), but the customer really wanted his shoes restored.

My Great Grandfather was a shoemaker back in Sicily. I always enjoy these videos. Nice work.
Excellent video, I had no idea a crack in the upper could be fixed, particularly germaine to a pair of my favourite brogues that will be with me for a lot longer now, thanks for sharing
Beautiful work, loved watching every minute of it!
RMWs are simply the best shoes
First-rate know-how. THANK YOU.
I always got RM's work boots over the years. Other brands gave me blisters straight away. After doing bricklaying and concreting with neglect, they would last me about a year and then I'd buy another pair. When I went into office work the boots lasted me at least 12 years with being looked after and polished. I still have them somewhere.
Alltid lika imponerad av den där maskinen som trimmar sulor, Riktigt bra jobb med skorna!
You have my great admiration and respect for your work..
That was absolutely amazing 👏. Thanx for sharing 👏
You sir are an artist!!!
Excellent work’ thank you for sharing ❤
I've seen my share of soothing videos but yours is unique enough, thanks to pacing, vibe and music choice, to earn yourself a new subscriber. Keep up the good work!
It is easy to see your craftmanship is a Art form..!!
Great work as always. Crazy cracking on the leather though😮
Remarkable work !
Great job
Great skill well done.
Fascinating!! 👌
Good job
Beautiful job on the RMs
Great outcome on those boots. very impressive
Excellent! Congrat's!
Берегите свои руки,они у вас золотые )))
For those that have owned and worn a pair of "RM's" products they would completely understand why a Dane would send a scrappy looking pair of boots that were made in Australia to a Swede to bring them back to their original glorious condition.
Your work is exemplary. I wish you were closer to my part of the world.
Bra jobbat!!!!!!!
good work
Bloody Brilliant!!!
I know where to send my RM's now...wish you were in australia. Great work
Hi. Blackwood Shoe & Boot repairs in Adelaide, AUS, does great work on RMW's. You can send your shoes there.
What filter product do you use for cracks in the toe box crease?
RM Williams boots are my favourite - so comfortable. Having said that, Kennedy-Parker from the same city (Adelaide) are starting to make a name for themselves. I have 4 pairs of RMW’s and one pair of K-Ps that I use in rotation. All really comfy.
Hi David. Where are the Kennedy Parkers made? I couldn't tell from their website if they are Aussie-built or not.
Nice and to the point, not one of those glossed up restoration vids.
I have a beloved pair of Josef Seibel walking shoes, many times resoled. Now one has developed a deep crack over the top where the ball of the foot it. I have been searching everywhere for a way of repairing the crack. You mention fillers in your video. Can you list the filler products that would be used for that purpose ? Many many thanks, with hope. Lavinia in Canada
It would be next to impossible to find a boot repair shop with this kind of skill and expertise outside of a large city. Also the cost would rival the cost of a new pair.
If the shoes are of good quality, the repair cost won't rival the cost of a new replacement.
Also, the model of shoe that you have may no longer be produced, so you are giving a new life to an old favourite.
*It's completely ok to have shoes repaired. Cobblers do this for a living and it's great for them. I'm glad cobblers get business when they can, in a society who would rather throw away shoes than replace them. I know not everyone throws them away. It's nice being able to find a cobbler though! People have shoes that hold sentimental value too so it makes it worth it 😊!*
Well, some shoes are 2000 dlls and up, so don’t
Nice shoes
Great job. I have a pair of RM's that are a little more beat up then these ones.
You are most skilled and do great work. I don't know much about leather fillers and the like but if they hold up over time the restoration of the boots was well worth whatever it cost.
Well, the filling effect of the leather binder is limited as you can see on the end result. No point in a serious filling where the leather creases. But this binder reinforces the fibres in the leather and helps keeping the cracks closed. The sanding after, to open up the leather for the conditioning, is as important. With shoe trees and proper care these repairs should last a while. But sadly I've seen many of these repairs that I've done don't get the care they need, and the shoes back to bad shape much too soon. My guess is ten more years, but who knows. I hope he'll cherish them. I put a lot of hours on them.
Класс! Ювелирная работа)
What kind of glue is use to repair the cracks of leather
Great work 👍🏻 which leather binder did you use? Is it liquid leather? ty in advance
Usta, eline sağlık, güzel çalışma ama eksikler var, 1. Eski yapıştırıcıyı temizlemeden yeni tabanı sağlıklı yapıştıramazsın, bu yüzden dikiş yapman zorunlu, 2. Kalıp kullanmadan tam bir sonuç alınamaz, yani ayakkabıya eski formunu veremezsin.
Sonuç; sizin yaptığınız tamirat, restorasyon değil ama güzel çalışma, başarılarınızın devamını dilerim, eleştirilerimi kendinize bir artı daha katmak için pozitif kullanırsınız umarım, iyi çalışmalar.
Excellent work! May I ask what kind of glue/filler do you use to treat the cracks in the leather?
Very nice work !
What's the filler you use ? Can you tell ?
Thank you ! :)
Tebrikler 👏👍
Золотые руки!!!!
That’s impressive. I have a pair of Gardeners that are 35 years old. I could bear to throw them out. Now I’m scratching my chin…
Its actually cheaper to go to a trusted cobbler, utmost you pay for replacements like leather or rubber soles, french tips or new paints.. the labor cost is worth it if the cobbler is really skillful. Buying new leather shoes is still expensive and frustrating at times especially with brands trying to trick buyers with faux leathers. I'm trying to learn every trick to maintain my leather shoes, you will realise soon that there are things only a cobbler can do.
As with many repairs of things that open and shut, looking after everyday items we all own, shoe/boot care ought to be part of life skills.
Also, skills in leather care is interesting and challenging.
Красотища 👍
Талант! Руки золотые! С большим уважением!!!
what kind of product (glue an filler?) did you use to fix the cracks in the leather (8:50)
please tell us !
Very nice work
I’m an apprenticing cobbler and I was wondering about the conversation you had with the client about the longevity of the restoration of the cracks. Over time they will recrack. Do you just lay it out for the client like that? Thanks so much. You do really great work!
If the customer starts caring for them as he now should, they should last quite a long time still. They won't crack more, and with constant care the upper should stay in quite good shape for some time. Naturally I had a conversation with the customer about the probable remaining life span of the shoes, and I assume he understands that when he spends this kind of money on old shoes they need better care in the future. But I'm sure we also spoke about that. I can't remember the conversation today. I just know what I usually tell the customers.
Ben bir ayakkabı tamir atölyesi sahibiyim, ben de kendimi yaptığım işte her zaman bir çırak olarak görürüm, çıraklık nedir? . Ustalık nedir?. Bana göre çırak, bir zanaat dalında her zaman öğrenmeye açık insandır. Usta ise, o zanaat dalında belirli bilgi ve beceri seviyesine ulaşmış, bilgisini paylaşan ve paylaştığı bilginsi biçok kendini çırak veya usta diye tanımlayan insan tarafından referans alınan insandır.
@@davidsonsshoerepair after seeing this video, I have decided to quit nursing school to become a cobbler. Will you take on a female apprentice? ❤
Beyefendi, super bir görüş getirdiniz.
En iyi kısmı, öğrenmeye her zaman için Alaçık olduğunuz noktası.
Bravo vallahi.
Good job chocolate! 🍫
What is the price to repair one pair of boots the same on this vidéo ?
Impressive work well done. Top tip never buy shoes off this guy they probably came from a dumpster 😂
When you repair the leather surface cracks, after you put filler you sand it. I am wondering if sanding would sand away the top grain of the leather ....
Of course. But I don't sand very deep. I basically just sand away the binder and open up the top grain a little to make the leather more susceptible to absorb the much needed conditioner.
@@davidsonsshoerepair Thanks for reply ! How many grits of sand paper you used ? 1000 up or below ?
@@lorddiablo8575 I have sandpapers from 80 to 1200 and use mostly 240 to 1200 depending on whats needed. I can't say which I use, because I use them all.
Excellent question.
👌👌👌
How much does it cost?
emek en muhteşemi
❤❤❤
what is the price to restore boots?
Likely depends on the level of wear and tear
Damn didn’t know rmw boots now I need one ffs
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Não consigo perceber como as pessoas restauram botas assim,. não seria melhor pegar no dinheiro da restauração e comprar umas botas novas?
He could have bought a new pair, I had 4 pairs of RM's, just sold 2 pair as Im downsizing my collection, now to downsize my Western Boots too.
Неужели жалко их выбросить? Дорога как память?
What's this where's the leather mid sole
There is no mid sole on Gardeners. I rebuilt them as original.
Интересно сколько стоит, может лучше купить новые?
RMWs, as it is common knowledge are priced aud$ 649 -- 900, even over 1K, depending on style.
Best guess for repair in video could be 150--220.
Subject to RMW or a specialist cobbler's factual figures, it would be unlikely that most extensive repair could cost over 275 in Australia.
….and his next video…looking after himself a bit with some wound care on that arm and thumb and some nail care. Ouch!
нитки на подошве разве не сотрутся
It's like building a new shoe.. Better buy a new one no?
better to buy new ones
This dude should be in prison for what he did to these RMs. Dear lord.
Sarebbero piaciute a uno ma si metteva quelli dei morti portano fortuna i morti sono morti uno mille e uguale
You’re better than Bedo!!
Finns det nån utbildning för detta? Finns det jobb? Känns som slit och släng världen idag inte ska laga saker. Kört grävmaskin i 20 år och lite less. 😂 Kanske får kika förbi. Bor i stan.
I expected a better result with the cuts and scratches on the upper.😕
Great job on the rest of the shoe
Well, what can I tell you? They were so cracked i really wanted to put as much nourishment as possible on them and keep them susceptible to more nourishment in the future. When that is a requirement I can't really paint, spackle or wax the cracks. The old cracks and scratches will show, when you don't put repair cream or wax on them. But I quess I should be flattered that you expected more from me.
@@davidsonsshoerepair I wish I was as skilled as you. Thank you
10:08 i still can see the cracks on the side of the boot wide clear...😮
Better buy new shoes
why keep buying and throwing leather away when it’s completely reusable and repairable.
Awesome
en kaliteli ayakkabı deri cinsi hangisidir ?
Frågan är oklar eftersom den inte ställdes på engelska och krävde översättning m.h.a. google. Men om jag förstod frågan rätt borde svaret vara cordovan.
Question was 'what kind of shoe leather is best in quality?'
Very good but why wouldn't you just throw them away and buy new shoes.
