The prototype has returned from it’s fitting and is going into production. The only detail remaining will be just how to “distress” them. I re-watched the Lord of the Rings movie and went by one of the riding stables and took a look at wear patterns on boots that spend a lot of time on horseback. Looks like the charcoal bucket and the inside of the grill may have the stuff I’ll need to give them the right patina. A little experimenting is in order.
January 9th is 12th Night for our SCA group. The perfect occasion to dress up and take my new shoes for a spin on the dance floor.
