Botas
« on: August 11, 2011, 11:58:43 AM »
Did not want to hi-jack the Cherokee thread.  I made my own Botas, thanks to Chuck Burrows for posting the pattern and some great pics.   I have always liked the look and they go a long way to hide my inexpensive boots.     I picked up some leather from our local Tandy's that was on sale, dug through the pile till I found two pieces that had no holes that would show when wrapped.    All told the whole set up cost me ~$45, about half of it in brass

It has three on the side and then a tie at the top.  Doesn't show well, but I have some bone beads and brass cones on the ends of the ties.   I jingle lots when I walk.

Mogorilla thanks for the information ... I am looking forward to seeing the additional pictures also.  Planning a trip to Tandy in a few weeks so will be picking up the leather to make a pair.

Hi All,

Just to mention, for us scaredy-cats afraid to venture out, the Possibles Shop carries a pattern for several items, on of them being a pair of 'botas (or breed leggings' as they were called up north) ...it is part of group called FRONTIERSMAN LEATHER ACCOUTREMENTS and sells for less than $8.00 ... I have not begun making them 'cause I have a set a leathermaker has promised to make for me for over two years ... but I do have that plan when I finally give up ... *S
