How SixKings works

Made to order, at one bench.

Hands setting down a tan pair on the bench seat in the Room

01The commission

Your fit, confirmed before cutting.

Choose the pair, the leather and the build, and pay. The bench confirms your size or measurements with you before anything is cut. Ready in 2–4 weeks.

How a commission works

02The making

Sewn entirely by hand.

Three house builds at one price: Blake-stitched, hand-welted and storm welt. Every pair is lasted by hand; nothing that leaves the bench is machine-sewn.

03The afterlife

Resoled for life.

The upper outlives several soles, and each one comes back to the same bench. Resole R750, repair R450, back in 1–2 weeks.
