I had a few braintanned deer hides that I did last winter an decided they need to be used for something besides conversation pieces. I put these moccasins togeather while settin on the porch tryin to beat the heat, What do ya think. Oh they sure are comfortable an whole heck of lot lighter than my work boots. Bob

WOW those look very nice! ...You forgot the pic of you wearing them though... ;D I really, really want to make me a pair of those. :)
-
great job, ive seen some really rough looking moccasins but those are very well put together.
-
Those look like they fit like a glove. Nice work!
Are they the first pair you've tried to make, it looks like you've had to of done this before?
-
Parnell, I made one other pair out of some veg tanned leather, this is my first attempt with the braintan an I also wet them a little an wore till dry to get a nice fit. Not really hard to due just takes awhile sewing, Josh not sure you want to see my skinny ole legs in a picture :o Bob
-
Now Bob...I wouldn't make fun of your Skinny Legs....seeing as how I have Chicken Legs also!! Nice Moc's...I would be proud to be wearing them out to a Primitive Event....WalMart...or anywheres....they look good!

Very cool I bet they fit like a glove.Ron
-
WOW... these are great!
Did you cut them according to some pattern you had??
-
Look good to me,bet the fit like a glove.The ones I have do,I thought they were way to small
till I wet them and wore them around for a while. :)

You done good. Those are just like a couple of pairs I had as a kid in Northern Saskatchewan. Except mine were made from moose. Other than that, they are an identical match. I believe mine had a couple of layers on the sole.

We can't consider these for Moccasins of the Month unless you add a picture the mocs in full stride, otherwise they are a real contender.
