Valkenburg/Castleford style caliga step by step
#65
Quote:i am inclined to say the leather you use is in my opinion too thin
I made the uppers from 5-6oz leather. So far, there has been no tears of the thin straps. I've had friends comment that they thought the leather too thick. What weight leather do you use?
