What thickness should be used for welting, and is veg tan cowhide OK?

[ramsay]

Very good vid. I will someday have custom cowboy boots. I'm a big fan of the flame inlay...

Great tutorial. I am on my first half pair. I am exiciting to see the result. One question, why don’t you welt the heel part?

[shonuffisthemaster]

intresting technique and it makes sense for the more oddly shaped boots.

i did search for the 1.4mm waxed braided poly thread you mentiond, but couldnt find any source that sells full spools. is it not verry avalable in the us?

also ive had trouble finding any kind of variety of jerk needles, especially larger diameters and longer lengths. I really like this technique and ive been using it for resoles but its impossible to find the large diameter and length i need to go through lug soles. any sources.for these items?

thanks

So, is using a jerk needle and a lock stitch as good as or better than a traditional two needle saddle stitch? Do you see many of your boots back with broken stitches from the wear of the stitches cutting each other? It certainly looks easier than fighting with curved needles.
