Self Made Cowboy Tanker

6oz Russet Cowhide

Some nice folds developing and the shafts are getting a really deep patina, lots of fun making and wearing these but the pattern definitely needs some work, for the next prototype i think ill go with a single panel shaft and ditch the pipeing, and slim down the width of the shafts as well.

I have done many repairs, rebuilds, and resoles, but these are my first boot designed and built entitely by me. Every stich is sewn by hand including the uppers inseam and outsole. I will be wearing these for work mostly on concrete floors in a warehouse, but will also get in some hiking, yard work, and just about any where else i can were them.
