Handcrafting/Handmaking A Snakeskin Chelsea Boot from Scratch

We received a rare opportunity to make a Chelsea boot with snakeskin leather from a customer who had been holding onto a python snakeskin for 10yrs.
Hoping this video can help others.

Personally I'd want a pointier to but your skills are amazing.

Hello colleague. Your work is very professional. I admire your work.

Pls can you make a video showing us how you do spring a Chelsea boot vamp?🙏

Здравствуйте, скажите а верх обуви вы дублируете тканью или кожей?

[@hdrussellboots]

We use only leather to make our uppers

[@user-xf4bv3on3p]

Я имела ввиду, что вы приклеиваете на кожу верха кроме подкладки?

[@hdrussellboots]

It is reinforced with only leather because the snakeskin is too delicate on it's own

[@idowujesutofunmi5691]

Please what chemical did you use under the sole that makes it shine

[@hdrussellboots]

Hello. No chemical, just wax, buff and some mink oil to finish.

Is snakeskin durable?
