I have selected one of the MOST SUITABLE HIGH QUALITY OF FRENCH BULL LEATHER for making comfortable and durable moccasins.
It is full-grain aniline leather characterized by its soft and waxy touch with a natural finish (no acrylic lining). It is dyed in the mass, colors are very stable.
After tanning, it has not undergone any other alteration in order to preserve the authenticity and strength of its natural grain. It is the noblest treatment that can be applied to the skin. It has a thickness of 2 mm to 2.2 mm.
It is treated for better stain and water resistance and complies with very high standards in terms of health and environmental regulations by European law.
Over the course of 3 hours of teachings in which she demonstrates how to make a pair from beginning to end, she clearly and precisely explains how to make your own moccasins at home with very few simple tools.
The great difference with most other moccasins and patterns that you can find on the market is that ours are made to be adjusted exactly to the morphology of each person.
The Patterns will generally suit feet from size 34 to 46 EU / 3 to 12 US men.
When purchasing our tutorials, you will gain access to our online platform, where you will be able to watch and replay the videos as many times as you like.
You will also receive an email with the printable patterns and PDF tutorial.
(We have to process your order by hand, please allow up to 24 hours.)
We advise starting with making low moccasins before making the boots as it is a more advanced project, although the tutorial has everything one would need to know to make them even without prior experience in shoemaking or leather work.
The video tutorial helps to understand the right gesture, whereas the PDF tutorial highlights important details in large images and written explanations. Even after your first pair, it is a useful document to remember how to make them without having to watch all the videos again.
With practice, a pair can be made in only 3 to 4 hours, but it would usually take about 1 day or more on the first trial.
Patterns should be printed in A4 or US letters. If you are not able to print the patterns at home, please send us a request.
The tutorials also cover the topics of choosing leather and tools, making soles, and leather conditioners.
We offer extra rubber or leather for soling as an option:
Extra Leather For Soles
Extra Rubber For Soles
Strong Universal Scissors
Half bull skins are available If you want to make more pairs (6 up to 9),
