Hill's final @stitchdownpatinathunderdome submission! 🎉 Her essay: I wanted footwear that was well-made and comfortable. Tennis shoes? Okay—I love high tops, but they break down so fast. Can I have a practical pair of shoes that I can take on a bike ride, but also a night out? I know, I was asking a lot. I tried a few brands: Red Wing, Danner, Cheaney, and Carmina. Benzein did not fit, but they fit my younger sister perfectly. 💜 Ted helped me size and order from Flame Panda, and they were perfect. I love the design because it's the perfect in between. Causal, dress up, pants, shorts... even dresses. I always wear them. - Ted had started building Patina Project, and my Flame Pandas arrived just in time. I took photos of them for the app. - I love wearing them with shorts because it's hot here. Plus, it looks great. 😎 My favorite combo. - I've worn them to the Stitchdown Palooza, New Orleans, and Portland. It's the only pair I pack. Partially because I share a suitcase when I travel. - I wear them every Friday to my dads house. - I wore them to the Mogwai concert. 🎵 I made the Patina Project logo, which led into a spiral obsession with digital art and drawing boots. I was so excited to add the illustrations to the app. Eventually I started helping with the app. I did a lot of redesigns for the app and added support for web browsers. It was a huge challenge getting over 20,000 photos into our platform. A lot of manual work had to be done in order for each boot to have the correct details. After 7 months I love my monkey boots because they make me feel comfortable. 🥾 @flamepanda11 @maryam_tannery_italy (at Escondido, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdU1XXoupgy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Horween Factory tour was one of the highlights of the @stitchdown Palooza in Chicago. @horweenleather took us through the entire leather making process end-to-end. From de-hairing and tanning, all the way to finishing. Big thanks to Nick for the amazing tour! 🙇‍♂️ And, great puddle shot as always, @tichoblancoshoes 💦 -- 👖 @phigvel_makers_co @__nakamuraya__ 🥾 @show_goto @lederogawa 📸 @tichoblancoshoes (at Horween Leather) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcVhHQvr0yF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Here's some of the incredible photography of the completed Blucher.87s, coming my way from @show_goto of White Kloud Custom Boots. I cannot thank Goto-San enough for the amazing experience from being fitted in-person, to the flexibility with fine-tuning the makeup, and communication throughout the entire process. And, of course the love and precision he puts into his work. ♥️ All 📸 by @show_goto (at WHITE KLOUD) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ7isebPeac/?utm_medium=tumblr

Cleaned & conditioned these babies. You can see lighter spots left from stains that have set on the shell for awhile. 😎 (at North Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXZMrsDPuYb/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hey everyone! I'll be flying into NOLA tonight. Let me if know you want to hang! 🍻 Picked up this courdouroy jacket up from @blueingreensoho, and I've been loving how it layers with my Campus and the plentiful pockets. Also, just washed the Roy jeans. The fit is the best I've ever experienced. 👌 Finally—I've been working on an app for tracking how boots evolve over time. Message me if you're interested in checking it out! (And yes, it can allow more image sizes than Instagram 🙄) ~ 🧢 @papanuisays @shinki_hikaku_co 🧥 @south2_west8_official 🧥 @misterfreedomstore 👖 @roy.stuff 🥾 @flamepanda11 @horweenleather (at North Park, San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWeDWo-Pid6/?utm_medium=tumblr
