The process of molding bison leather into a boot takes skill and artistry to perfectly stretch the hide the right amount. The bootmaker can feel all the nuances of the way the leather moves and pulls the hide over the mold (last) so it won’t overstretch with time or over stress the leather. #jkboots #boots #workshop #bison #bisonleather #handcrafted #leathergoods #madeformore #americangoods #usa | JK Boots

Here you can get a glimpse into the fascinating art of wet-lasting, where we immerse the leather uppers in a hot bath before stretching them onto the boot mold. Soaking the leather for a few minutes helps the leather become more malleable and stretch into shape.This process prevents the leather from overstretching, ensuring a snug fit every time they’re worn.See how we build the whole boot on our YouTube Channel! #handmade #usa #madebyhand #ot #build #howitsmade #bootmaking #cobbler #workboots |
