COLA-Bal Canvas military boots

Bal-Canvas military boots

Let's share our progress. This pair of shoes is extremely difficult to make. Let me tell you why it has taken so long. Currently, the overall quality has reached its peak

  1. The overall appearance should be aged and whitened, with a uniform degree of wear. It should not be overly dilapidated, nor should it be too clean and lack texture. It all depends on manual control, and the scrap rate is high

  2. Heavy-duty canvas tends to be rigid, and its bending areas (shoe shaft, toe) are prone to cracking due to long-term stress; it is difficult to control the balance between softening and setting of the fabric.

  3. The hem of the fabric must be reinforced to prevent tearing. The canvas has a coarse fiber structure, and the cut edges are prone to fraying and thread slipping. It is necessary to reinforce the entire piece with multiple layers of hemming, otherwise the threads will break after just two wears.

  4. Multi-layer splicing + complex cutting structure, with multiple pieces of three-dimensional splicing for the shaft, body, and upper, requiring extremely high precision in cutting alignment.

  5. When punching holes for a whole row of metal eyelets, the spacing between holes and the vertical angle must be uniform, otherwise the shoelace will be skewed and the shoe shape will be distorted.

We spent two years on these, and they will be available to everyone in a few months. Once you get them, you'll know what ingredients they contain. They are definitely top-notch.

COLA-Bal style wheat ear embroidery button Polo short sleeved shirt

Bal-style white & blue pique striped polo short sleeve, with wheat ear embroidery on chest & button details / Comparison reference version

The original piece is heavily stained; the whiteness and overall color will follow the bulk production version.

Check out the wheat ear embroidery details for yourself — the thread color is perfectly matched. The original one has discolored from oxidation over time.

Slight fraying/worn damage on collar, cuffs, hem, embroidery edge and shoulder seams.

Pic3: The wrinkle treatment at shoulder spliced stitching is exactly the same as the original.

Pic4: Line alignment and color comparison.

COLA/PRD Black Hard Shell Jacket – Craftsmanship Breakdown Video

PRD Black Hard Shell Jacket – Craftsmanship Breakdown Video

I stumbled across this style while scrolling videos a while back.

I’ve owned it for ages. Since I care so much about performance features, I’ve been deep‑diving into hardshell jacket manufacturing techniques.

I found a reliable factory in Quanzhou that’s been making gear for international brands.

It took me tons of effort to get them to work with me. Their production lines and custom‑built machines are worlds apart from small workshops.

I go over the manufacturing challenges and functional features in this video. Check it out if you’re interested, guys.

I’ll release all the fabric specs once my test report is done.

Quick note: Don’t fall for the myth that you can buy genuine Gore‑Tex easily. Only officially licensed international brands can get it, and they use exactly the allocated quantity with no leftovers.

Most importantly, I’ll source genuine signal beacons so everyone stays safe while skiing.

1.Mi* Gold Coin Le Fu Shoes/First Edition Sample

We specifically found a factory in Dongguan that specializes in brand OEM manufacturing

Because we haven't worked together before, let's try a sample first to see its level

For the first version, I am relatively satisfied with the overall workmanship

Bottom and leather are alternative materials found in the market

2.1V cookie shoes/wooden mold confirmed

The pattern layout and font form have been changed to the extreme

Because wooden molds always have slight shrinkage deviations

We will first create a mold with a code to verify the specific effect

The color and stripe effect have been achieved, and the width of the red line at the waist has been adjusted
