More about this item

This is a custom make up from Thomas Benjamin. I discovered his brand by browsing Reddit and falling I love with his Instagram, so I reached out one of his models but with tanker straps.

I wanted the look of a tanker boot because I have felt that combat boots have always been the most comfortable for me on-foot, the tanker straps were for easy of putting on in the morning.

I was able to place this order as a custom and I was able to DM with Thomas to get everything worked out. Leather, style, finishing, and even hardware color.
