What Leather type for Minnetonka Moccasins

[MrLentz]

Hello,

I have a pair of these:

And just for fun, I wanted to make another pair, but was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a similar sheepskin? I am guessing it's a 5/6 suede with the sheep fur on?

 

Thanks!

On second thought - it looks like some sort of suede with a natural lining that was sewn in. Anyhow, any guesses at similar materials that would work for a project like this?

My Minnetonkas are very soft elk with a synthetic lining.

These mass produced products are typically drawn from pigskin suede of about 5 oz. weight and then have a synthetic wool lining added for some extra warmth.  Authentic moccasin's are made from either Deer or Elk skin though.

Thanks guys - I should probably make them with the better quality materials for myself!
