Theo Hassett (Roberts & Hassett) - handmade shoos [Australia]
I remember when Theo first threaded one of his very first bristles as a keen long haired kid. He has come so far with very little training.

I might get him to do some heel and antiquing work to see how he goes soon. The real issue with Australian makers is that it is hard to get good leather. It might be fun to get him to make a bespoke pair one day.

There is a vintage shoe collector I saw online who said of all his pairs, some over a hundred years old, only the kangaroo leather ones were not splitting through the joint with age.

Now who might that collector have been?
