Chelsea Boot in Russell03 last. Natural CXL with bison quarters and backstrap.

Ps. I love this boot. I love the contrast of the bison and the natural cxl. Can't wait to see how it develops with age and wear.

No pattern can be exactly replicated, but this is Davoud's interpretation of the shoes respecting the original.

The 2nd pair of roughout counters from this production batch.

This Russell is in made in black chromexcel - smooth black for the vamp and quarters and the roughout for the counter and backstrap with brass eyelets.

A surprise with black CXL is that the rough side comes up beige, not black.

Daniel wanted his boots to get noticed. Here it is in natural chromexcel with a roughout counter in the back and a western buckle. We added a detail chain stitch along the vamp and counter.
