Rezablad3[TK] Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) Hi guys, been looking around for a pair of screen accurate boots, or maybe the Stuart brand ones which was used in the movies(if im not mistaken). But lets face it, those will be most difficult to come by. And i know that Loakes are a pretty good mach, but very pricey. I also know that TM has mentioned they could be cheaper if you get used ones, but even then its still pretty rare. So i scouted out for some other Chelsea or Jodphur style boots and came along these. I know that they are not the real deal, but i think its a close match... what do you think?

gazmosis[501st] Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 You will need to knock the shine down and remove any waxes with acetone or paint thinner. Most hobby stores carry leather paint (Michael's in the Chicago area) and this dabbed with a sponge, will you the look you seek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nai-retep[TK] Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) We dyed Kathy's Chelsea boots from black to white. The secret is in the preparation before applying the white dye. We used super strength Acetone nail varnish remover and a scourer to remove all traces of polish from the leather. When this was done and the boots were completely matt we used the preparer that came with the Tarrago white dye. We then used five coats of the white dye (allowing it to dry completely before reapplying the next coat). She has trooped about 20 times in these boots with her TK and they are still going strong! ------------- Edited January 23, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
