Great, I was looking like crazy in stores for similar boots, but thanks to your video, I can use any design I get and add these covers to it, thanks for showing how you do it, your work is incredible, this is the way
In the process of learning to make my own in hopes of saving a lot of money. I used to think it would be challenging, but after trying out some of your techniques with the leather parts, it is super easy! Almost finished with my belt & bandolier, waiting for the base boots to come in before I start them! Thank you Matt!
I got a question maybe you can help me 🥲 what exactly is he using to „scrape“ the leader to making it look dirty and lighter, it’s not sandpaper right ?
It’s called “Scotch Brite,” it’s essentially sandpaper, but it works better with leather in my opinion. I have tried sandpaper, and that also works! It leaves more scratch marks than the Scotch Brite though.
omg this is exactly the video i needed to see. i bought some din djarin boots and they are way too brand new, i scoured the internet for "how to weather boots" and nothing seemed like it was what i was going for, i even considered using fullers earth or weathering powders but i was afraid they'd come off too easily, and also afraid of sealing it in with a clear coat cuz i didnt want the clear coat to crack and peel, i dont think that would look very good.
Great Mando Cosplay, I love it! Could you please tell me, wich yarn you use?!... While i'm weathering mine, it frays in 1000 pieces 🙄... Thanks and greetings from Germany
Hi Matt! If you use Veg tan leather it distresses very well under normal wear and would save you a lot of time making them look distressed. You can pull and stretch the leather to make them look distressed.
Hey there! I’m curious if you’d be able to please share the kind of thread you’re using for sewing the leather together?! I’m getting ready to make boots and this would help so much! Thank you :)
Great job on everything I am currently doing this cosplay also wished I seen this a month ago lol Im on my cape and attaching the rifle to my back then Im done my boots are not bad but yours are better👍
I see you’re wearing “Graham’s heart warrior”. Do you have a relative that has heart defects? My daughter(3yrs old) is a heart warrior awaiting her 3rd open heart surgery this coming summer. By the way your Mandalorian build is probably the best build I’ve seen in a long time across any genre! Very very impressive!!
TheWeldingGeek I wish your nephew all the best! I know first hand how difficult and worrying it can be but also so incredibly rewarding and inspiring! Thank you for representing! I look forward to more of your awesome work!
Will you be releasing templates for your mando armor I need a chest place and gauntlet template that's right cause I wanna make it look as good as possible?
The restrictions that the club has on their costumes drives me a little insane, but I can see why because it gives it more of the Star Wars look to it. I used an old pair of black sort of feminine boots, they were platform wedges so they worked and they had a good amount of natural wear from running and walking in snow and mud
Super awesome, detailed and informative tutorial. Will you have patterns at some point, or just shoot from the hip? Have you tried blue painters tape instead of masking tape? May I ask what kind of needles you are using, Janome Leather needles or other brand? Did use black caulking on the base of the where your leather and the boot sole meet? Thank you
Heyhey i try to recreate you're tutorial. Only i have a problem. Regarding the canvas when i click on the link only the stone color is available now. Is that the color the used? The black seems very dark and on you're boot it looks grey.
Hey Matt what leather did you use exactly? I followed the link and bought the sheepskin leather that was linked but it is too soft and doesn’t interact the way your leather does… could you give any further guidance on what type of hide and oz leather you used?
Seconding this! The more mahogany colored leather that is linked is SO soft and just... not going to work for these boots. If I sand it, it'll just disintigrate. Hoping he'll see this.
Would you be willing to do my boots for me? I have the sketchers, but would love you to do the custom work. Let me know, and I can send you my contact information.

The whole hiding all zippers and buttons thing with Star Wars cosplay drives me crazy.
QuixoticJedi for real though
Yeah it’s a pain
WOW! I mean those boots look EXACTLY like the ones on his costume. Good job!
The best mandalorian armor ever! I love
I applaude your attention to detail! Your work on this entire project has been amazing & inspiring. Bravo man!
Can swear I hear an acoustic variant of That's The Way by Led Zeppelin in the background, great taste with that.
Great Job mate youre a legend
Love these videos, so helpful. Makes these projects less daunting
This is exactly the tutorial I was looking for. Easy and very well explained!

Can I order a pair for me???
If you shot any video while trooping, could you post it? Love to see the Mando in action.

I hope everything goes perfectly for you guys and thanks for the complements
Next time try the blue painters tape. It comes off easier than the masking tape.
Do you have the leather patterns available for sale? I'm very interested

Is that sandpaper ur using to scrape the boots?
What sand paper did you use on the boots? How course was the scotch pad?
Is there anything you can’t do? I wish I could buy the whole outfit from you
Heyhey i try to recreate you're tutorial. Only i have a problem. Regarding the canvas when i click on the link only the stone color is available now. Is that the color the used? The black seems very dark and on you're boot it looks grey.
Hello and welcome. I'm a novice when it comes to leather and disguises in general. I don't know how to cut this skin. Can you send me a pattern?
what type of needle are you using in your sewing machine?
Hey Matt what leather did you use exactly? I followed the link and bought the sheepskin leather that was linked but it is too soft and doesn’t interact the way your leather does… could you give any further guidance on what type of hide and oz leather you used?

I'm having a similar problem. I can't get my leather to distress
Yo man, that is INSANE replica work. Would you take a commission for these boots? Quite interested. Thanks! Good work!
PLEEEEEASE
do you have an online template?
♥
What model of Janome is that? I have the HD9 I bought specifically for leather. Just curious what you got there!
Does barge hold up against rain, so I could wear this when it’s raining
Wonderful, a lot of talent, I also manufacture this boot, see on Facebook ( Ignacio R. Quirino )
Hey Matt
Hi keygan
Why Din Djarin and not Canderous Ordo.
Where is the video of you trooping in it
That will be coming sometime next week
Finally!
You need to wear a mask and gloves when working with barge
Need is a pretty STRONG word.
Can you please make a template 😫
