I've made some cavalry boots to do temporary service until I can get some proffessionally made. This has made me consider where the seam on the boot should be.
I would be interested in other people's opinions on the design of the tall cavalry boot/Thracian boot, and the position of the seam. My initial instict was that the seam should be at the front, and possibly at the back, with front lacing. But a seam on the off-side would make sense.
Help please!
