[Elfsea] FIGHTER FOOTWEAR - KNEE HIGH BOOT TOPS

[Jasper]

Apprectiate the post on these. Likewise these are very easy to make and can be 
done in a period fashion without the zippers and conchos and the like. If made 
to fit your boots you can even add chainmail or scale/lamellar at the ankle to 
cover the top of the boot for an even more period look. The pattern is simple 
enough and for any who want to make some of these before Gulf I would be happy 
to show you how at the Leather/Armorers guild this Thursday!

These are a result of a conversation I had with Cathal at the recent Blue and 
Gold demo in Elfsea over how to cover short boots, such as the combat and hiking 
boots our fighters are so fond of.
 
The first section is a search of equestrian half chaps that go over paddock 
boots to make a knee high riding boot.  Some of these can get expensive, but you 
can occasionally find them on sale or closeouts at a bargain price.  Even if you 
don’t want to buy any I hope these are useful to you as ideas or patterns.

These are motorcycle half chaps / boot tops available at MotoLiberty in Dallas.  
The first section is for the boot tops, the second is the address of the Dallas 
store.

These are another version of motorcycle half chaps available online.  There are 
several versions sold under various names if you will search under “half chaps,” 
“leather legs,” or “leg leathers.”

Hope you find these useful.  Feel free to forward…
