Pulling leather over the last isn't just about shaping a boot, it's about setting the foundation for years of hard wear. In my latest video, I take you step-by-step through the process of lasting the vamp specifically for Stitchdown construction.
For this build, I'm working with a rich 5–6oz Black Prairie pull-up leather from S.B. Foot Tanning Co. Watch as the leather stretches, contours, and starts to reveal its tea-core character under tension. Grab a cup of coffee, settle in, and join me at the workbench to see how a truly rebuildable boot comes together.
