Solution to Brown Boot Knundrum

[Captain Dungcaster]

So here they are. My solution to the brown boot knundrum. I engaged Brett Smith of T-Star Leather whom I met at the Va. Ren Faire to make the leather gaiters pictured to be place over my Tommy Hilfiger boots.

Looks great. My husband has done something similar with his biker boots.

Those look fantastic!  I love them!  and Wow how great to have 2 pairs to switch around!   Great!

[DonaCatalina]

Thank you for the compliments.

You will want a strap under the bottom of the spat/upper boot part.  Otherwise it will move and shift on you.

[Captain Dungcaster]

They do not move at all. Infact the type and thickness of the leather used prevents much "slouching" and "shifting".

Those look awesome!

What a fantastic idea for guys and gals who want Pirate boots from what they already have!!! The boots look great!

Whoda thunk?

That is a huge compliment. Thank you all for the compliments. It is very hard to find Light Brown boots with out zippers and such. I realize Hilfiger boots are not 16th Cent. but the combination I have chosen is close from what I have found in research. The leather used is not flimsy so the gaiters do stand up. Also the artisan put a strap and buckle at the back to adjust as needed.
