making your own Caligae

[Martin Moser]

Is it worth making your own Caligae i.e. after buying the all materials , tools etc and time or is easier and cheaper just to buy a pair

It depends on what quality leather you buy and how much you value your time in terma of money. In any case, buying caligae off the shelf inevitably will let you end up with something more or less incorrect going by what finds we have.

The plans look easy enough to cut out , however not sure on the sole construction and sewing it all together
