Lasting a Shirt Loafer on a Modern Shoe Last

Handcrafted in Istanbul — real shoemaking experiments. During the COVID lockdown, while working at home with limited tools and materials, I cut one of my old shirts and turned it into a loafer upper. At the time it was simply a small experiment to pass time during the long days of the pandemic. Much later, I found several vintage shoe lasts that belonged to my grandfather. After speaking with my uncle, I learned that these lasts may date back to the 1930s, and all of them were handmade by my grandfather. Before testing the shirt loafer on those vintage lasts, I decided to try it on a modern shoe last. Fabric behaves very differently from leather during the lasting process. Leather stretches and adapts to the shape of the last, while fabric tends to collapse and lose structure. In this video, I pull the shirt-made loafer upper onto a modern last to observe how the material reacts and what kind of shape it produces. This experiment is part of a series exploring what happens when a simple lockdown idea meets both modern and vintage shoemaking tools. 👉 Watch the related video here:    • Lasting a Shirt Loafer on a Modern Shoe Last   📩 WhatsApp: +90 534 981 97 84 📸 Instagram: @artisanshoemakertr Subscribe to follow the rest of this shoemaking experiment series.
