Two combat boots standing next to each other, facing slightly forward so you can read the whole boot from the chunky sole up to the fold at the shaft. The body is a matte black satin fill with charcoal grey shadow on the toe cap and along the back collar to give depth. White lace thread zigzags up through the eyelets, which are each individually digitised. Sole is a warm dark brown. Nothing cute about it. Its a proper pair of boots.
Four colours only which is dead simple for setup. Stitch count goes from 14,642 on the 2.79-inch width up to 45,377 at the full 5.98 inches across nine sizes, density sitting at 1012. The bulk of that count is the body fill on the boot shafts. digitising tools used a flat fill underlay first then a directional satin layer on top which is what gets that matte leather texture feel rather than a shiny overstitched look. Smart digitising, honestly.
Ive sold this to a lot of fashion embroidery people and a few patches sellers. Last november one customer ordered the 4.5-in motif to make iron-on patches for a grunge-themed pop-up market stall. She backed them on black felt and sold them individually. She sent me a message saying they went first day which honestly doesnt suprise me, this kind of edgy fashion embroidery doesnt come around that often in machine format.
Best on black denim for the shadow effect to work properly. Charcoal canvas or cream twill also work if you want the boot to contrast hard. Avoid dark navy because the charcoal shadow stitching above the heel edge disappears and the boot looks flat. Use cutaway under denim and canvas at the larger sizes, the 45k stitch count on the biggest will pucker without it. Skip jersey entirely unless you go for the 3-inch size with a stabiliser sandwich.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
