Hi I’m a 10E Brannock but for D-width boots I wear either a 10.5 or 11 depending on the last!

Hi all, Up for sale are a pair of COR 501 black cowhide boots in their size 44, basically an 11D, which ended being about half a size too big for me. Edit: I’m a 10E Brannock but for D-width boots I wear either a 10.5 or 11 depending on the last. The leather looks and feels very similar to...

Wow, this is an old thread but I just received some swatches of Japanese horsehide and one is a nume horsehide, which is veg tanned but not given a shiny topcoat. Instead it’s more of a raw, dry finish.

From the other day, a vintage 1930s H&L Block horseshide and sheepskin barnstormer:

Another vintage barnstormer in, this time a 1930s H&L Block, again in chrome-tanned horsehide. This one and my unbranded one both feel and smell very similar; the only modern horsehide I’ve come across that smells like this was my old Lost Worlds Ryder, but these vintage ones are a bit lighter...

No, but maybe some (not me) can volunteer do the Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling in their new leather jacket?

Just sent one of my vintage barnstormers for repairs to Dena, main thing was replacing the mouton collar and trying to fix loose lining behind the button holes. After remaining me saying she’d start on it soon she promptly mailed it back with a note saying sorry, I couldn’t help. Personal...

Again from the other day, Bill Kelso Heracles I had custom made:

Sold!

Bump, price drop!

My old Lost Worlds Ryder in horsehide used to; sitting down while it was zipped up was comical and had me looking like this guy:

Hi all, For sale is a vintage 1930s or ‘40s FQHH and sheepskin barnstormer in very good condition, especially the mouton which is almost perfectly preserved. This is tagged as a boys’ size 20 but fits like a men’s 38, just slightly too small for me, which is why I have to move it on. The cuffs...

Those are the John Lofgren M43 in rough out natural CXL!
