I’m pretty sure Bayou Land Leather in Lafayette is where the guide said to take mine

ETA
I won’t get mine back for awhile so I can’t speak to their quality / service

Mark stanton in Lafayette, have used him to tan and make, purses, belts, boots, wallets. And have zero complaints. It’s not cheap, but it is a memory and bragging point haha

My grandpa always wanted a pair of alligator boots, since he was a kid. One day he was coming home from the bar, still a little sober, and he spotted a gator laying out on the side of the road. He slammed on the brakes, jumped out the truck and proceeded to jump on that gator.
As he tells it, him and that gator rolled around and around for maybe 30 to 40 seconds, each in a fight to the death, before he realized that gator didn't have a single alligator boot on his feet.
