Boot and Leather   This is our development of a stitchdown build crafted alongside the classic Allen pattern. The upper leather used in this style is the Rambler article from the Charles F. Stead tannery. This article has many rugged features to it including many depths of color along with plenty of natural variation and veining as you can see in the pictures. Mohawk leather has natural textures and break upon flexing of the flesh-side of the hide. This article has a tight fiber structure which makes it appear rugged while being full of waxes and oils from the tanning process.    The primary colors of this upper leather are light grey and brown mixed with a small percentage of darker grey and even black hues. With wear, you can expect these boots to darken a bit. They will darken even more if wax or leather creme/balm is applied. Our build focuses on enhanced breath-ability and shock absorption in a more natural way by using leather components. Additional build information along with cutaways can be found under our Craft + Build section. Leather care Click here to find out how this leather should be treated.
