this was a personal pair for me and happened to be my first time working on a pair of half cabs. I avoided double stitching the toe cap and rear panel because I ran out of needles and just wanted to wear them right away. They looked pretty clean as is and so I just ended it there since it was a pair for myself.
Cool idea, and not bad for a first time reconstruction job. Stitching is noticeably off...use a hand-awl? I'm sure if/when I decide to do one, it will look nothing close to yours! Also, can you show your stitch method?
