Paul Bunyan Leather ?!?

Recommended Posts

So I just moved and while setting up my new little work area I came across some patterns I bought YEARS ago still neatly folded up. So one of them was for "freetrapper mocs" and I thought ... cool .. when I get 5 minutes I am going to make myself a pair. So I am reading the material list and it says to use "paul Bunyon leather" and I am thing What? LOL

So what is tandy referring to when it calls out paul bunyan leather.

So does anyone know what leather they might have been referring to. I would like to try the pattern but I don't know what leather to use.

Thanks

Alex

Here it is 4.5 years later and I still don't know what kind of leather to use for those mocs.  I'm think oil tanned.

A lot of mocs are made from moose hide

I would use elk for the tops and heavy moose or sole leather for the soles. I put in the item number 9078 from the pattern and it pulled up "Granger excel leather" if that helps I guess they renamed it.
