I priced the pair off the upper leather. The welting, toe puffs, shank, cork, thread, and dozens of bench hours came along free.

Five commissions, each at a different stage. One resting on the last, one waiting on a fitting, one waiting on sole bends. The client emails asking where their pair is, and I check three notebooks.

The pipeline problem

The client's second pair should fit better than the first. The build-up notes were on a sticky stuck to the last, and the fitting feedback is in a text thread I cannot find.
