I wore my Red Wing Pecos 1155s yesterday for the first time in a couple months (I don't really like wearing boots in warm weather). Instead of my usual boot socks I paired them with old-school long white tube socks with stripes! Don't worry; I would NEVER wear those socks with shorts -- only...
Just became the proud owner of these vintage Noconas! The teenage son of a friend of mine inherited them from his grandfather, but they're now too small for the boy. I'm flattered he thought to give them to me, of all people! When I saw the size, I initially thought it wouldn't work -- they're...
Actually, that particular style from the 1883 line is indeed US-made. With the 1883 line, if the style number starts with M, then it's made in Mexico. But if it starts with N, T, or C, or any letter other than M, then it's made in the US.
Dan Post Cowboy Certified Socks -- until I discovered them, I had basically resigned myself to the idea that boot socks that stay up just didn't exist. But I was wrong. I never have to pull these socks back up when I wear boots; they always stay up!
I'm roughly 30 lbs lighter than when I first started posting in this thread a few years ago, so I figured it was high time to post in this thread again after a rather long hiatus. I'm at Barnes and Noble -- pardon the wrinkles; it was evening! I know my outfit isn't really vintage, but for some...
You are correct; most of them don't exist anymore. The Classics line still exists, but the 1883, Cowboy / Cowgirl, and 2000 boots now fall under the brown label "Lucchese Since 1883" line. The Resistol line is now the red label "Lucchese Since 1883" line. I don't know about the Charlie 1 Horse...
Actually, only some Lucchese 1883's are made out of country. You can identify them easily because they come in red boxes, and their style numbers start with M. Other Lucchese 1883's come in brown boxes and have style numbers starting with N, T, or C. Those are made in the USA.
I've shown these before:
Red Wing 875s -- one conventional photo, one with sock visible:
Red Wing Iron Rangers -- again one conventional, one with sock:
I took the photos at the end of the day, hence the wrinkles:
J. Crew v-neck
Brooks Brothers OCBD
Orvis shotshell bison belt
Bill's Khakis
Dan Post Cowboy Certified socks (not visible)
Lucchese Since 1883 boots (brown label)
Also wore a Cockpit brown leather flight jacket:
Nice boots! How old are they? I ask because I don't remember seeing that style on Chippewa's website within the past few years. But then again, maybe it's the laces -- are the laces original? Or were the original laces dark brown like the boots?
I just had to tell SOMEONE that I've lost at least 10 lbs thus far (maybe even more as of this moment) thanks to CrossFit, running a lot, and planning meals in advance. I have roughly 30 more pounds to go, but I'm thrilled that I've reached even this point!
I was just thinking . . . I've heard it said that Tony Lama boots aren't as good as they used to be. Apparently this has been the case at least since Berkshire Hathaway bought Justin Industries (which owns Tony Lama). But what about the time after Tony Lama was bought by Justin but well before...
Dan Post Cowboy Certified boot socks (white, over the calf) -- they really stay up and don't fall down!
But (and I think I may have said so previously in this thread) . . . in addition to those socks I feel tempted to get a few pairs of long white old-school tube socks with stripes at the top...
