They are a pair I made. The style is called a whole cut as the upper is made of one piece. The leather is veg tanned calf. They are browner then the photo indicates.

"MADE?"

Can you tell us more? Have you been doing this long? How did you start? Are there photos of the process to see?

I admired those when they went up here. It's a very elegant design.

I have been making shoes for 17 years. I could tell the story of how I fell in with a beautiful redhead who served strong drink and woke up on a ship where I was forced to make shoes but nobody would belive me.

I will take some pics on the next pair I make and post them, Probably in a seperate thread.

I've been following your posts since you started here, I love your work! I'd be very interested to see your range of options available in golden era styled shoes!

 

[Creeping Past]

Yes, your shoes are a fantastic addition to FL, Bigshoe.

Could I request some cross-postings in the "Gentlemen, show us what you've made!" thread?

The self-made items are an expanding area and make for great reading/viewing.

Cheers

J&M Aristocraft NOS Saddle Shoes with added Patina



I have so wanted a pair of these Aristocraft saddles and now I get them in my size and NOS too boot. American footwear at its finest... RIP.

 

[Tomasso]

Well done, Cookie!

And you're right; those were our salad days.

 

[Matt Deckard]

Those are some awesome shoes Dinerman. If you see anything in a 9 1/2 wide, alert me. They seem to be impossible to find in vintage.

And Bigshoe... You're awesome. We need more cobblers in the world and I hope you make a killing!
