Today I thrifted a pair of bespoke monk shoes made by George Cleverley.
I'm just wondering if they might be made from that Russian Reindeer hide that was rescued from the sea floor.
The leather does have a distinctive sort of cross-hatching.
I've e-mailed George Cleverley but probably won't hear back from them until tomorrow.

Let us know what they say.

If they turn out to be made of the sunken leather treasure to which you refer, that would be quite the find, for sure! Good luck.

I sent this to George Glasgow Jr and he says:

"Yes it appears those are Russian hide!"

I've had no response from Cleverley yet, but got some feedback that they are 100% Russian Reindeer.

Thanks.

What a find.

And, they fit me too, although maybe just a hair too tight. Made for a narrow foot.

I got my doctorate in Russian reindeer hides. Fire away!
