Q. Are the smoke pole flaps, lacing pin holes reinforced in any way?
A. All seams are flat-felled double stitched, the best way to sew a cover. In addition, all stress points are reinforced with leather. Lasing pins are hand pealed willow, which give a great authentic look. Poles are hand pealed lodge pole pine, also adding character and style.
