Welcome to the forum. Dont mind Big Mike too much, I think he does his best to "test" most people.
Anyhow for my two cents worth, I think that New Zealand made boots were made from deer hide,could be sheep skin but the truth is I dont know. Your boots( gaiters or what ever) look pretty good to me. I have a few NOS ones (enough for my own use) of Aust. carrier parts origin. They are a white grey/blue grey in colour and fairly fluffy. Once again yours look well made to me and quite functional.
Do you intend to make the bellows for the brake rods at the rear?
For those who dont know, your boots will work fitted to English mk 1 and 2 carriers, obviously to the Canadian Mk 1 and 2 carriers and will also fit the Australian LP2 and 2a carriers, probably the Aust LP1, and possibly some other models
