More about this item

It was a race to the finish to make sure I could get them done before the dome. Handsewinf something with so many parts is a challenge. They're fully lined.

Why did you choose this item?

Availability: Custom

I thought it would be cool to make a version of a 90s hi top and I had had this blue guidi reverse horse butt with shell staring at me for a while. I though the shell would be cool contrast with the other parts of the hide.

How did you determine your size?
