Haha was cleaning house today and stumbled on this pic when I was in my old band--our photographer took the pic and surprised me with the fake magazine cover she made up. Got's on of my hats (100% natural beaver) from Rocky Mountain Company out of Bozeman, MT. And some of my other cowboy duds...
Just received another hand painted tie from Ranch Tie in Canada. This is a "California" tie that was originally a late 40's early 50's design. If the shorty design is good enough for Hank it's good enough for me! I wanted something with a bucking horse motif and she came up with this...
Following up:
I was able to try on the Red Wing Weekenders--pretty comfortable but would have liked a little more support in the sole in the ball of the foot area--had to size down one whole size. I ended up purchasing the Astorflex Greenflex through Huckberry as there is free shipping and...
PSA: Nothing I'm jumping on but Nordstrom Rack just added another 25% off of some of their previously marked down Lucchese boots in limited sizes:

But I think your alterations are conservative, and there are enough pics of variations on the HWM theme that you can likely find pics of what changes you are considering before you decide. Plus I don't think Aero would tackle something too weird!
If you go on the Aero or Thurston Bros websites you can compare the standard Premier HWM buckles to the 59'er (like mine)--the former cinches up and the latter buckles like a belt--I did it for the look.
I believe Carrie said they couldn't do the exact HWM collar and this is how it was specified on my order i.e. "modified/less pointy". I like the zips on the pockets but from a practicality standpoint no zips might be preferable--I like the zips for the look and don't need hand warmer pockets...
Thanks Fanch! Yeah that buckle closure was off of the '59er Highwayman--I liked the look--I may have gone with the '59er in its stock form but I needed the Premier fit so it wasn't an option--otoh I got to pick my favorite features from several HWM styles!
Here's the thread on my recently purchased Premier Highwayman--I went for an interior pocket w/o closures, and the modified less pointy collar--also has some features of the Zip Sleeve and '59er Highwayman, including dangling balls lol. Might give you some ideas-namely how the modded collar...
Just spotted this pricier option:

Yeah Viers was doing both real estate (with his father) and building boots when I got mine. The bulk of his business was the SASS crowd and he built primarily in that style.
Any experience with the Astorflex Desert Boots? I'm looking at an alternative to Clarks as they don't fit me well (too wide):

I'm also considering the Red Wing Weekender...
Yes very in demand! I believe he got into running boot making schools and as a result reduced his already limited output--hopefully they fit great! I've always admired his boots in the style you got, as well as his packers. I'm happy to have my custom Dave Viers boots as he quit making boots...
Sadly the Wrangler Cowboy Cut jeans aren't US made any more ( but I still wear them). Lately I've been liking the US made LC King Pointer Brand original fit jeans. The seem to make them in batches with different materials at varying prices. They are a higher waisted (but not as high as the...
