Here’s a few photos of the continuing progress on the making of the uppers for the Chukka Boots, from folding edges to sewing the backstay onto the quarters.

Another year has begun and, after a hiatus of nearly six months, I’m back with a new workshop space and a new website design!
I had hoped to relaunch the blog with the new look last week, but had a few distractions that came up. I designed this new template to use some subtle CSS3 techniques and larger images since this blog is mostly in-progress photos. It’s meant for current web browsers, but hopefully if you’re viewing this using an older browser it depreciates gracefully. What do you think?
Picking up where I left off, I have two pairs that I need to finish (fortunately they are both for VERY patient customers…) and new orders that are piling up.
I finished making the uppers for the Gibsons yesterday. Here are a few progress photos of those.
