Hot dang those are FIRE 🥾🔥🥾🔥

Y'all use Law Tanning shrunken bison?

Also to digress, will the Nick's workshop ever get far enough ahead that we'll be able to order multi/mixed leather options on MTOs that look like this? I know White's is catching up on their lead times and Frank's seems to do a lot of funky requests.

Malnourished Appalachian daily drivers at just about one year: Trickers Stow in Camel Kudu.
Bridges the gap between work boot and office quite nicely.

Here are my first nice boots, some Wolverine Courtlands. These are probably 10 years old with 1 sole change close to 9 year ago. As my collection grew these turned into work boots spending many days at the barn mucking stalls and feeding horses. Still like the toe shape, moc toe and CXL so found these, like new, on ebay and put some Ridgeways on them.

Yes, we use Law Tanning for our Shrunken Bison.

We allow for some pretty wild combinations here at Nicks but we don't make bison and cowhide. All of our bison leather is ordered per order only. We keep many different hides in stock but bison is ordered only when someone places an order for a bison boot. Leather inventory is really difficult as is and making changes like this would only push our lead times further. It's a cool idea and I love how the boot would look but it just doesn't work out in practice.
