My second leather project

[KenJWan]

So, 10 months ago, I posted my first leather project... a pair of engineer boots. I didn't expect to end up with something I could wear and didn't care about the mistakes in stitching, pattern, etc. However, the end result was something unexpected and so I decided to do it again, this time with better materials, more care, a better pattern, etc.

So, here are the results. My engineers, version 2. Very happy with how they turned out.

• Brown Horween Chromexel Horsebutt
• Japanese buckles
• Neoprene soles with Catspaw heels
• Unstructured toe

Wow! Now that was something worth striving for. That's what a pair of boots should look like. I'd say you have some serious machinery to acheive that. Well done.

Those look nice. Especially for only your 2nd time.

Nice work! I will be happy if the boots I am working on turn out looking half as good as yours!

Very well done and the lasting looks excellent. I think like with knives and their pouches you should be showing the lasts beside as well

One question ....what do you mean when you say " Unstructured toe" ???

Toe is not hard reinforced and will flatten a bit over time for a vintage look

Looks very cool. I hope they last forever.
