    Who can stitch up a shift boot for me?

    I picked up a nice hide of aniline dyed leather with a soft pull up finish.



    I'm going to cover the flat door panel inserts in my 635 with the stuff and would like to get a shifter boot made using the same hide. I know there has been several folks doing this type of work on here, but I'm not sure who does it right now.

    Matt-B has been the dude doing it for years, theres a couple other people.
    in the past few years he's become a lot more busy, not just with shift boots but with life and stuff, so if you dont mind waiting a little bit, hes the dude.
    here's his thread.

      Don't know if this will help, but have a look at this thread about making your own.

        Looks like Matts equipment isn't set up for real leather, I don't want to wreck his stuff.

        I guess I could DIY, but I thought there was some leather craftsmen on r3v. I was hoping to get someone that has the right machine and waxed thread, knows their shit. I don't need anything out of the ordinary. I'm looking for a used factory boot so we can just go by the factory pattern. Hand stitched would be great, Ive never done that stuff.

          There is a leather craftsman on board. F34R I think it is? Does wallets and belts and bags..

            There we go, that's who I was thinking of. I remember he made a bag for a motorcycle dude and posted about it on here.
