These came from Nicks Marketplace. I got what I feel was a fair deal 200 dollars. I order Venetian leather balm at the same time in cordovan. When they arrived they were soaked in what I think was Obenaufs LP. So I broke out the dawn dish soap and bought a scrub brush. I spent about 2 hours in total scrubbing then 2 days to dry. Then came the leather balm 3 coats each boot. Using a blow dryer between coats and a day between coats. Then I brushed them a lot. I had some scrap horse rump so I cut some basic kilties and camo paracord for laces. They are not perfect but for what I have invested I think I did good. I am in under 250. For the whole project and about 8 hours time

About Gallun Calf

Just saw these boots and the price caught my eye. The build is super simple—they don't even have pull loops—but they're priced higher than the Bear Slayer collab. Is there something special about this leather? What do they actually feel like on-foot?
