Are these the Wyndham semi-brogue captoe oxford in espresso calf, specifically?
Yes, these are.
Great Video! Why apply wax to only the cap of the shoes? why not mirror shine the entire shoes including the soft leather part?
Because if you did mirror shine the whole shoe, as soon as you'd walk, 60% of it would crack and flake off. You also want the leather to breathe in the movement areas so it doesn't crack and separate. Furthermore, if you wear a fully mirror shined shoe, it looks like a plastic high gloss shoe and people don't realize the work you did.

Drinking whiskey and watching a Japanese man shine shoes.. Life is great
May I suggest, Suntory whiskey - the best if you ask me. 👍🇵🇭💐😎
So true
@Gilded Chamber drink moderately. I am near 60 and I can still do 100 sit ups anytime. Just a thought.
Never have I seen a man look so cool while polishing shoes
Basically they love shoes and wearing it. Fine shoes fit with fine clothes.
My dad always told me one thing about the Japanese. That is if they do something, whatever that may be. They do it right.

That would mean they lack skills that require passion and emotion to do right. Which is not the case. You can clearly see that in every craft within Japanese culture. Just like what's shown in the video above, they turn everything into an art form.
Great at torturing prisoners of war.

Like I said. If you're gonna something, you best do it right.

Germany, Italy and Japan. All countries could fit inside the United States 9x over. And they almost took over the world. Aren't you glad they didn't?
Growing up as a Chinese, the recent history during the war prevented many of us to see the Japanese in a fair light. But as we get older as time goes by we begin to realize that most Japanese people are not guilty of war or invasion, they were misled by their pro-war generals in the government, just like the Germans. Having traveled to Japan, anyone can see that the Japanese culture is one about focusing on intricate details of any given subject and always strive to find a way to better it. They do this part better than any country/race in the world.
Im so high that for a moment i thought i understood everything he was saying without reading the subtitles
Bro you were really baked
😂
High on what, Is the question..

Lol bro I’m on another planet right now and I get u
The Japanese are true masters of any damn thing they have pride in. And they are proud of a lot.
What he did was a marine corps spit shine . guess where he learned it .
@@howardwayne3974 This comment sounds so fucking triggered lmao
@@howardwayne3974 u sound American
@@howardwayne3974 That's the thing with the japanese people. They didn't event most the of the things they make and use on a regular basis but they still manage to outperform the occident on every single one of them. What a wonderful people.
@@howardwayne3974 you sound like a guy who’s still mad about Pearl Harbor
anyone who is a master of their craft deserves respect and it seems like the Japanese have a lot of these master craftsmen in various fields:)
You know this guy is one of the wealthiest in his industry. No word of a lie, was a mini BBC radio documentary on him. Went from doing this at a subway station to having the most sought after shop in Tokyo. He elevated the craft by donning a suit and shining shoes standing up.
That's a really fascinating innovation. Most shoe shiners in the US tend to kneel due to custom, but it'd feels way more human and fun if we could both stand around and chat a bit while he/she shined my shoes in a way that I could see clearly what he/she was doing.
The production value of this video is wonderful. The piano jazz really adds classiness. Not only were the instructions clear, but explanations were given for important steps such as not adding polish to crease areas. I hope to see more videos with this Japanese gentleman.
How the heck did he tie that cloth around his fingers? That was one of the most important parts and he did it in a flash.

Eye Heart Sushi thanks!
In cases like this it's usually best to enter the "settings" on the youtube tool bar on the bottom of the video. It's the gear symbol. Then select a slower speed. Great for flushing out techniques from how to shuffle a deck to shaking a cocktail shaker.
Thanks! I was also wondering how the devil he did that.
ask someone that has been in the military lol
Back in the 1980's, while working in NYC, I used to go to these Brazilian shoe shiners in Grand Central. One of them was a wizard at getting mirror shines and like Mr. Hasegawa, he too used his bare fingers to apply wax. Unlike Hasegawa, he added a final buff with a canvas cloth (he did water shine with finger/cloth at first) after Mr. Hasegawa's final step.
The Brazilians (if they had a guy who tipped well; $20) would spend about 10 minutes on a pair of shoes and let me tell you, it was a great massage and very relaxing. All men should know how to give their shoes a shine and this video is a brilliant demonstration of a lost art. Bravo!
I like Mr Hasegawa technique and explanation...thanks alot
a perfect beautiful shine on a gorgeous pair of shoes, I could listen to this guy a long time...
Absolutely perfect, concise instruction and presentation. Thanks for sharing your expertise!

That's when I realized that I was doing shoe care quite wrong... thank you very much for this video ! Very clear and straight to the point !
The Japanese, I swear they finesse everything they do.
Master lesson. Thank you for this video!
Flawless job! I'm definitely gonna try out these techniques! Thanks.
So satisfying to watch! Great video; very crisp and instructive. Felt therapeutic watching it. Now I’ll go and polish mine!
This is so fascinating to watch. Really great tips in here too!
wow... thanks for this ive been shining boots for a while and never got it quite right this works flawless
What a job!!! I thought I knew how to shine my shoes. Thank you for the video
I've been waxing my shoes wrong then. This is the best video tutorial I've seen. Thank you!
Woo!
Great mirror shine tutorial, never thought of using bare fingers to apply the shoe cream and base layer wax before. Which makes sense considering leather is a type of skin, can't wait to try it out.
Lovely video, learned much that I will apply to my technique. Thanks!
This was oddly satisfying to watch, good job!
I mentioned this in another video of his. The dedication and style makes even shoe shining intriguing.
１つ１つの動きがバーテンダーみたいに丁寧かつ素早くて見入っちゃうな...
smooth as silk in his presentation!
jeeez these are one of the best shoes I've ever seen in my life
Excellent review and explanation! Keep up the good work..
.
This is an excellent tutorial video primarily because it is technique and perseverance that produces the brilliance not so much the wax. A cheap can of Kiwi will produce the same shine as any other polish when properly applied.
As an ROTC cadet (51 years ago) we had to "spit shine" (using water) our shoes daily. To this day, I do this with my dress shoes. As cadets, we didn't have the luxury of shining just the toe caps and heels, the entire shoe (or jump boots) had to have the same level of shine. Not an easy task on a supple piece of leather, I assure you.
The cloth used for the application of the polish is equally important as technique. I've always used a thin but dense, tightly woven fabric such as a handkerchief and have also used old t-shirts to equal effect. Don't use any fabric that will scratch the mirrored finish or leave micro hazing. When done, you should be able to clearly see the scum on your teeth in the finish (so, brush your teeth). After five years of ROTC at a military academy, I entered the USAF during the Vietnam war. Oddly, spit shined shoes were not a requirement in the Air Force...
Mr. Hasegawa clearly does his work with class, style and elan, and has taken this craft to new level! Thank you for the excellent video!
Amazing, will try out this technique.
Superb video. Love the technique and final result. First Class shoe polisher 🎩 👋🏻
Excellent video. Thank you

Absolutely gorgeous shoes. Instruction is perfect: easy to follow and very clear and printed. Thank you for a wonderful video. What brand of wax polish are you using?
Hello there, thank you for the kind words. We are using Saphir brand wax in this video - available at www.thearmoury.com
Just an update the shoes are also available online here bit.ly/2jeFVtj :)
Do you also sell that water spritzer? I don't see it on your site.
半蔵 kirby Allison hanger project sells it. $35

Screw that, just go to WalMart!
Wow. It's so interesting and good instructions.
Shoes make the look. There is nothing worse than seeing someone in a really expensive suit and shoes not polished. A lot of guys should view this video. Great job.
That was incredibly satisfying
This guy is a professional in every sense of the word
just watching it feel satisfying. i call it a day
I could literally watch videos of Japanese people showing me how to random things all day. Someone please create a playlist.
I second the motion.
Just type in "Japanese skills" into RUclips. You'll be amazed.

i love the armoury videos too! i have been lusting after your products for YEARS online and on instagram..........please produce more video i believe it will grow your brand and expose it to a larger sartorialist audience. i have been learning so much from kirby allison hanger project about shoes he puts out a huge amount of videos. please put more out we love you guys!
we did the same thing in Marine Corp boot camp back when they still polished their boots.
It was just amazing guys
Exelente tecnica
I used to polish my army boots that way, after watching another guy's technique. He was phillipino. Great parade shine!
Polished at perfection.
Nice shoes...like the shade of brown...good quality of the shoes
Great job. Interesting post.
Pinnacle of Class.
Très intéressant ! et très bien expliqué !
good translation to english ! I'm impressed
I loved this video!
This is the simplest mirror shine instruction I’ve seen. Very clear instructions and explanations. I do have one question. There seem to be many opinions about how much alcohol is added to the water, if any at all. Can you offer your opinion?
The jazz music makes everything so much more enjoyable...
This guy puts the finesse in shoe shining
this is the definition of professional
very clear how to care shoes. nice video.
Beautiful shoes!
Eto prosto uhyenno!!!! Amazing!
Very nice work
Best ad ever.
I really enjoy watching this. It gives me a nice feeling :)
I don’t know why I watched this video but I love it
Excellent lesson. Thanks. What material do you use for the cloth? After applying the cream with your fingers, how do you clean them after?
Outstanding
thanks for the very informative video!
2 questions: should you treat 'crust leather' (as used by Saint Crispin's) differently? Especially regarding the cleaner, since crust leather is self dyed?
If you mirror shine, do you only mirror shine the toe cap or also the heel cap?
Fantastic job thanks
Great video. Thank you very much. My question is how do you shine leather shoes without the toe cap. All my life i have been using wax polish on every part of my shoe. So does it mean I can only use shoe cream on my leather shoes that don't have the toe cap? Thank you.
Awesome work
That's amazing!
Hi. Great video. Can i ask why you choose air brush method rather than brush painting?
Definitely a Master in shoes, awesome!
Does anyone know the name of the song that start with the video?
thank you for this video!
An expert at this craft, love watching the japanese
Daniel Sadjadi who cares?
Please stop grouping Americans under one umbrella.
