Hello,
I need help, I wonder if anyone can assist me.
I have a new pair of custom made stove pipe type boots.
They are made to look exactly like a pair of civil war stove pipe boots.
I am a civil war reenactor, I do a Confederate artillerist impression.
I need help in that all four of the boot pull straps need replaced (one broke as I was putting the boots on), and there are squares of light glue over and around the strap stitching I need cleaned (the maker tried to cover the stitching with hide patches).
The boots are made of thick bison hide.
I have barley broken them in as I just got them about a month ago and have been wearing them around the house, hours at a time.
The trouble is I had a falling out (its a very long story), with the maker of these boots and I no longer trust him as he did to the boots what I now need repaired/cleaned.
Can anyone help me or refer me to someone who can help me in replacing the straps and cleaning up the glue marks and also blending in the area around the squares so it to be not noticeable?
I tried attaching pic's of the boots and what needs to be done but it kept giving me an error message.
I can send them by email or PM to parties interested
Please let me know folks, I need help...
