My first TD, with the third pair of jumpers I made.

I definitely had a blast going on about my first TD, and having the boots standing on the shelf for half a year wasn't nice.

More about this item

The third pair of jump boots I made myself. Leather from conceria la bretagna, last by spenle. -360° handwelted -forefoot handstitched -leather soles with rubber inlays, hence the "hybrid commando" (yes i made that up on the spot) -sole and heel mirror shined (at least to some degree) -when finishing the sole i brushed the tip of the right boot with a sole iron and it left a streak. Yeah I screwed up.

Workplace Needs

I just love jumper boots because I can make them so incredible comfortable using inlays. Also, there are just so many leathers that make them look good. The moment I grab a leather is just a minute away from the decision to turn it into a pair of jumpers. And the veg tan, Italian made pecos raw had everything in that minute. It is robust, ages beautifully and without hesitation yet it still makes for comfy boots despite its toughness.

What was the ordering process?

Lots of work that I love. It hurts but the result makes up for it. The price is only material, for I don't pay myself for my passion.
