Someones moms did the stiching for me. I wanted white stich but it would only get dirty. Tell me what you think. Waiting to get a new shift **** but this one will work. Next boot I make will be a coach purse black C's.

Is it suede? If it is, your interior would be dope with a matching suede headliner.

If I had your freetime, I would use some of it to put the stock one back on. It looks like the crud you find in the lint trap of a clothes dryer.

Try using a different material. Looks too much like a boot turned inside out.

Looks good for something you made. Like others have said, maybe a different material would look a little better.

Its fo suede I didn't want to buy the real and find out I didn't like it and as I stated the shift **** is old and scratched I am waiting to buy a titanium one. The next shift boot I make will be out of Coach purse fabric black C's. Or I will use real suede and use a white stitch thanks for all the neg feedback. no worries
