Early Christmas present to ME!!

I have been plotting this purchase for a while and engaged in a discussion about choppers a bit ago.....and I went with these beauties. Full moose hide in "saddle" tan with wool inserts in XL. $69 including shipping to my door from Henry's shoe repair in Ely, MN. I am pretty stoked and expect these jokers to last as long as I do

Nice and it looks like removable liners too. Thats how I make my Leather Chopper mitts. Leather care and liner care (drying) take 2 diff approaches so sewn in liners are a big no-no. Keep em sealed/oiled and avoid high heat and they should last a lifetime. Replace the liners as needed. (I like polartech fleece for the ones I make.

Beauties! Looks like you make a wise decision.

Now I'm hoping for cold weather!!

Those are beautiful!
I'm a recent convert on the chopper mitts. Don't know how I went so long without using them!

Put some Obernauf's on them last night to condition and waterproof. I really like the color with the saddle tan, especially now that it has deepened with the O's on it.
