Boot Breather Gallery

I am happy to present a selection of photos of the final Boot Breather. I think the experiment was a success, although I won't know for sure until we've done some extensive real-world testing...
The 1.25" buckles are definitely overkill in terms of what would be needed to do the job of holding this device in place, but they lend a rugged, heavy-duty feel to the piece, and they closely match the sketch. I'm glad I didn't go smaller.
 I initially thought the boot breather would be made of molded veg-tan leather, but that would require a wood form to mold on, and this turned out to be a sufficient way to test out the idea in the real world.
 I'm happy to report that the boot seats onto the breather with a satisfyingly snug fit. 
 For those of you who are wondering "who the heck would want such a thing?," I can only say: The things I make are certainly not for everyone. 
 But for those who do appreciate such things: ardent boot fetishists, fans of breath control, leather enclosure freaks, sensory overload seekers: this could be right up your alley. You know who you are. 








Thanks for visiting...

    1. Thanks Dubar. I'm trying to do some unique things here - stuff I haven't seen before. Unfortunately, I've stopped taking any orders for custom work.

  2. So, the $64,000 question: what's this thing like to wear, and when do we see it modelled?

    I would dearly love to be strapped into that!

    1. It's currently in the possession of a talented photographer friend of mine. She requested a female version as well, which is currently under way... I'll keep you posted.

  5. sooooo. what became of the female version as asked for by your photographer friend?
    and also, would you mind elaborating how you supported/stiffened the muzzle part? or didn't you reinforce that at all and i'm just assuming things?

    1. Hi Gregor,
      I haven't made the smaller female version of this yet, but hope to soon... The inside of this is reinforced with bondtex bag stiffener, purchased from Springfield Leather. Karen did actually shoot some with this version of the boot breather, but I haven't seen the pix!
