I love the original style of the 919 and I wanted to emulate it for my own journey learning to make my own boots
Using lisa sorrels advice and last charts i initially settled on a 9.5d and after making two pairs on that last i decided to get a 9.5f for a little more wiggle room. The 55 last works perfectly for my foot shape.
I ordered the leather from maverickleathercompany.com and the boot supplies from panhandleleather.com. The soles and the lasts came from sorrellnotionsandfindings.com
