Boriqua Report post Posted March 26, 2015 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.

Boriqua Report post Posted March 27, 2015 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
casaerwin Report post Posted September 19, 2019 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sturme Report post Posted September 23, 2019 wouldn't that be buckskin leather? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chuck123wapati Report post Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) 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.
