Just made these the other weekend. Started as a cream colored crust leather. Did not want that, so I gave it my best attempt at a patina. At first I wanted it to come out more forest green, but was pleasantly satisfied with what actually came out.







these look like they were a rothschilds patten?

lovely for clubbing!

as he said: it's crust leather, so it can be changed in various "directions".

Do not be a "Sam I Am". Green Eggs & Ham is quite good if you give it a chance. (At least wait for the pics)


i don't like plastic in my shoes...
