Join Carlos for a two day class detailing the design and construction of Great Basin style Armitas.

  • All leather, hardware, glue and thread will be included for you to complete one pair, your choice of color

  • You will learn how to create a base pattern and make adjustments based on a person’s measurements

  • We will detail layout and construction techniques, with an emphasis on time efficiency, fit and finish

  • We will be using the sewing machines in the classroom. Although not completely necessary, some sewing experience would be a plus

  • You will go home with a completed pair of Armitas, and the knowledge to build another set! Choose from four colors for your Armitas: Cream, Beach, Brandy or Chocolate (See photos)

About Armitas: Armitas (meaning little armor) were the leggins’ of the vaquero. Originally made of deer or elk hide, these are a stylistic homage to the early Armitas.

*Terms: Classes are non-refundable, but reusable, if something happens to you or us, we will reschedule. I will never keep anyone’s money just to keep it!
