What a beautiful leather!
Give us some more information about the hide @Giles

Love the color a lot!
What about some black shellac leather care first, to get some more wabi sabi?

[Giles]

Horse butt from the Maryam tannery in Italy…..

[Giles]

[Weft 4 Dead]

Badass pimp boots.

[Eisenherz]

Ohh I love purple

[Bustdnukles]

@Giles:

Those are SO badass!!

Just curious,how did these come about. Did you ask Chris for purple boots or did he tell you I’m getting some purple leather,or something else?

[Giles]

Chris sent us swatches of Maryam horse leathers. I like the purple, so asked Chris if he would make me a pair of Mr Lou's out of it….

I was thinking it must be in relation to the anniversary party.  Purple boots and the purple uhf with acorn collab. coming out in time for the party.

Just a random coincidence…but still cool nonetheless. 

[Giles]

100% random…..

[goosehd]

Random is good…how cool would it be to see a logger in this leather.

Man, I don't consider myself that bold, but these are fucking tempting. Could I opt for chrome nickel buckles?

[goosehd]

@popvulture  One of the greatest things about getting older is realizing 99% of people don’t care what you’re wearing and the other 1% don’t matter

[popvulture]

Haha yes! I totally agree. Once I passed 40 I felt the big relief of just being like "ok this is what I wear — it's what I like, and I'm committing to it," vs continuing to pay attention to trends etc. I'll totally admit that I still have vestiges of "what will people think?" that have kinda dogged me my whole life, but they're a lot less.

It's good to kick those concepts to the curb. Maybe while wearing some purple Lous.

[goosehd]

…don’t worry, that too shall pass

[den1mhead]

Jules acquired these purple beauties recently which is a tenuous link I know

@popvulture:

Yep

[goosehd]

I’ve been working with @Giles and @Chesson to have these made in purple…smooth side out

Can’t wait to see how they will turn out.
