Channeling vintage designers

Posted on February 2, 2022 by customboots

The design I’m working on now is a reproduction of a pair worn by Ernest Tubb. It’s always fun to reproduce a vintage design; I love getting into the original designer’s head and trying to guess what they did in the places I can’t see. I took a few artistic liberties on the boot tops but I’ve tried to reproduce the wingtips exactly. I can’t see what they did on the countertips so those are totally a guess.
