Slimming engineer shaft DIY

Redwing 2966 about a month old. My skinny ankles and slim jeans just always had a something off. Decided to try and slim the shafts myself.

Started with the deconstruction, and appraisal.

Then overlapped the seams to see how things would sit. Once I was confident they would mostly line up, I started the center seam stitching using a basic saddle stitch. After that, just aligned the backstay and kept the outer seam original, and used a stitching iron to make the holes using the factory spacing. Saddle stitched that, and I successfully lost 1.2" on the inner circumference and my jeans will lay smooth now.

Because of the overlap, the shaft is a bit stiffer, and will need to break in again.

FS pecos (2003)

Bought these, but they are too small. New soles by RW themselves, but they now fit like 10D, not 10E. The leather is in fantastic condition minus the speckled pattern from welding (that I really like). Price is OBO as I cannot wear them

Asking $125 shipped/insured and located in TX.
