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. Rambler leather is finished on the flesh-side and includes a blend of natural waxes for a unique natural ‘marbled’ aesthetic. The dyes/colors of the article are blended to compliment the base dying for a rugged appearance with depth of color and texture.   The primary colors you may see in this upper leather include a mix of rust brown, red and black. Depending on the lighting and setting in which you have the boots, it will be common to see any of these colors and slight variations of them. 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.
