Title: Moccasins for a friend

I finished these moccasins today for my good friend, Brian Peterson. They are way too plain for my tastes but that's what he wanted so that's what I made him. I just hope they fit him well. I made them out of 8 ounce bison leather and used New Zealand red deer for the trim.

Rodd, I make my own patterns based off of measurements of the client's feet.
