Thanks all:
This band is The Hotshot Drifters :)
The jeans I have on here are LC King "American Originals"--I like them a lot--a higher waisted jean similar to original Wranglers. (Hint, if you sign up for LC King's email list you will get a discount and they offer ongoing promos--some really...
I do both cuffed or not. It certainly makes more of a statement cuffed. If I wear jeans in my vintage Country band I will cuff with boots--usually about 3"-4"--that would have been the look in the 40's-50's which our music is built on. I'll also do cuffs with retro sneakers or work type...
I think they're are 2 1/4"--They're my riding boots but I wear them around some--not super comfortable to stand on concrete all day in though! My other pair have an 1 5/8" heel. I have a narrower foot with kind of a low instep.
They didn't photograph too well, but these were a special run we did while I worked at Boot World. Tony Lama had a batch of purple lizard so we had these made up and many of the employees ordered a pair--Purple lizard vamp, black tops, with purple and turquoise stitching. Kinda fun--wore them...
To follow up--no luck. I stopped in the store and talked to the owner. I had to make the first move and threw out a price and he didn't bite--he said he's kind of attached to them and that he'll "let me know" if he changes his mind--oh well. That said, I'm plotting a new pair of Paul Bond's...

It's not really '70's style but I think it has a bit of a "Rocker" vibe. The Vicenza is great and I'm glad I got it, but it might be too heavy if you're planning to wear it...
Yeah--he's always maintained a nice looking store with displays, etc. They briefly went out of biz and then reopened within a year at a much smaller location with mostly new and limited inventory. I'm inclined to give in the $150-$175 a pair range--I won't really get in a haggling war with...
I popped in to a local western store and they have a small collection of custom boots on display--so I ask if they are for sale--first thing they say is they're a weird size--like an 11B--just my size haha. So I tried them all on, and most were too tight in the toes, but 2 pair of Rocketbusters...
