Does a handshake mean something to you? Do you open the door for a lady, whether you know her or not? Do you go out of your way to keep a commitment, no matter the inconvenience or cost? If you answered yes to these questions, you are without a doubt, a “Bill Water Buffalo” kind of guy.
This iconic shoe is handcrafted from durable, handsome, and rare, genuine Water Buffalo. The unique grain and “better with age” character, sets it apart from all others. It is fully leather lined and finished with a tougher than nails, Vibram, all-season rubber sole.
If you are not familiar with Vibram, they are an Italian company that has been around since 1937 and produce soles for boots to climb Mt. Everest. Martin selected Vibram for our Bill model, for the rugged, confident, outdoor man, who may also want to wear them with five pockets, a sport coat and tie. Give our Bill Water Buffalo a try, and set your sights on Mt. Everest!
The Refined CountryLife
It was in 1983 that Gay and I had the crazy idea of beginning a family business. From the start, we endeavored to build a company on the foundation of quality, integrity, and “The Refined Country Life.”
The ultimate goal was to create World Class Leathergoods for the stylish man. Continuously striving for perfection, every collection is crafted with premium materials, world-class craftsmanship, and meticulous attention to detail. On those principles, Martin Dingman Leathergoods was founded in 1990. With the wonderful support of family, a tremendous team, and loyal customers across America, the company has since thrived. Along the way, we have enjoyed the honor of being recognized by nationally known publications, including The Robb Report as “America’s Best Of The Best,” and Forbes magazine as one of “America’s 50 Best Companies.”
The entire Dingman family (including Henry, Ivy, and Willow, our Llewellin Setters) would like to extend a heartfelt “thank you” for your continued friendship and loyal support. We look forward to the next thirty years together!
A RoyalHeritage
The Royal Llewellin Setter has a long and rich history dating back to the early 17th century, with lineage to King James I of England and Louis the XVIII (the last reigning monarch) of France. Martin has personally traveled to research and confirm the origins of Royal Llewellin Setters, tracing their pure bloodlines to the original English architects of the breed. These regal and rare pups are unbelievably affectionate with small children, docile with other family pets, best friends with every new acquaintance, and bird finding machines.
Martin has been an advocate of the outdoor sporting life, since childhood, alongside his grandfather who raised and hunted Walker foxhounds. As a
hobby breeder, his goals are to produce the finest, original, Purebred Llewellin Setters, and preserve the Royal heritage of these beautiful and extremely unique dogs.
Currently, Martin and his family enjoy the companionship of King Henry, Queen Ivy, and their latest addition, Queen Henrietta. Martin has a limited number of Royal Llewellin puppies available each year, from the same original bloodlines, reserved exclusively for families who truly love, appreciate, and live a lifestyle, compatible with this spectacular breed.
