Maste Xu is a tailor known to many lovers, because the clothes he provides are extremely cost-effective. There are many brands with good prices in Taobao now, but the level can be compared with MasterXu, especially in PK.

Independent tailors always make people have a lot of fantasies or reverence. Compared with custom-made shops, they give people a closer feeling, and then there are not many marketing or storefront costs, so no matter what their price is, you will feel that they are paid to the people who make things for you, and there is a sense of psychological satisfaction. There are certainly not a few independent tailors in China, but there are not many who do their own clothes, and Zhang Xiao is definitely the first. Then there used to be Master Gong in Nanchang (now Master Gong’s status is unknown), and then there is the protagonist today, MD Wu. MD entered everyone’s field of vision very early, thanks to the propaganda of Brother Seven, and then gradually became silent, but in fact, it is still tirelessly torturing itself.
Look at his miserable life.

Although WEN Tao is not a shoemaker, as a cobbler, he has become a name that cannot be ignored among all leather shoes lovers.
When someone wants to resole, install toe plate and attach rubber piece to the outsole, it is impossible not to think of him at the first time, because his work is the finest and best.
In 2023, he joined the Oct Tenth team.
I think as a media to promote sewing shoes/gentleman shoes/handmade shoes (I most approve of the first one, not emphasizing craftsmanship, but emphasizing its durability and sustainability), it is not a flag-waving cry for the brand, or where there is discount information, it should always be settled on people. Practitioners, consumers and bystanders are the subjects that make the circle of an article more vivid.
Let’s come to the story of WEN Tao.
