51 Shaun Pekar Another Man's Treasure, Eastfield Village and The Shoemaking Collection of Don Carpentier Terry Burress The Slashed Shoe |
Shaun is an
Independent Historic Shoemaker. From its inception in 1971, Historic
Eastfield Village would grow to become the dream-realized of Don
Carpentier, a self-taught renaissance man interested in historic
preservation and historic trades. Carpentier would amass over the course
of his life a collection of 30 historic structures (dating from the
1790’s to the 1850’s) as well as enough tools and antiques to fill most
of those buildings to the rafters. Its only in the years subsequent to
his passing in 2014 that an effort to catalog his collections has begun,
and thus the true depth of his collections fully realized. Terry presents The Slashed Shoe, a Comparison of 20th Century Long (tall) Work Boot) Patterns – Part Deux: Back Seamed Patterns. He Examines more than a dozen historical and contemporary publications on boot patterns, including: Pattern Cutting Made Easy - Brophy, Thomas J. Jun. (1889); Boot and Shoe Pattern Cutting and Clicking - Hasluck, Paul N.; Editor (1906); Introduction to The Theory and Practice of Boot and Shoe Manufacture - Plucknett, Frank (1922); Boot and Shoe Design and Manufacture - Swaysland, Edward J. C. (1926); Boots and Shoes, Their Making Manufacturing and Selling - Golding, F. Y.; Editor (1934); Boot and Shoe Maker - Bordoli, Ernest; General Editor (1936, first printing 1935); Textbook of Footwear Manufacture - Thornton, J. H.; Editor (1964, first printing 1953); and other works. |
