Nice find!! Those are great!Although most of you seem to be attracted to more exotic boots, perhaps you might find these of interest. I found them on Ebay and got them for $30 delivered. The are white label Justins, althought the labels are almost worn away, and I contacted their Historical liason who told me they're most likely from the 1950's and the style does strike me as that era. They're fairly plain, it's the stitching pattern that attracted me. They were pretty stiff when I got them, I'm still treating them with Bicks 4 and they are softening up nicely. I treated the soles with Pecards and they came back. Still waiting on some leather touch up from Mohawk for the worn piping.

Boy, i do like these Mike!View attachment 162856 Just delivered from the ‘bay. 90s era Luccheses with elephant vamps and goat uppers. Don’t know what it is about older Luccheses but they fit like customs—even the shaft opening is perfect, smaller than recent production.

Came across a pair with this label, certainly older than the black and gold/ Any ideas as to age?
I have two pair and they both fit true to size. One pair is the older label. They both have the size hand written. The Caboots have no other numbers. The older Champion Attitudes have other hand written numbers.I know some of you have nice work by Caboots, do you feel they run true to size?
I'm looking at a pair which the seller listed as a size 10 D but there's no such stamping inside the boot. There is a four digit number, 9068, which I was told by Caboots translates to 11D. It's nothing like the coding we discussed here a few weeks ago. Caboots says their code's a "trade secret" they won't divulge.

I'll just add this for further confusion. Mine are indeed size 11D, and are marked as such in pen, and have the code 6596 also written in them. These were made for me in about 2002 or 03 so maybe the secret codes have changed these days. As to the fit, I'd say they're pretty spot on. Pretty solid quality, too. Desert Dog can back me up on that. I also included a photo of 'em.....just for good measureI have two pair and they both fit true to size. One pair is the older label.

Didn't father & son split up with Joey forming Caboots? Then when his dad retired so did the Champion Attitude Boot Co?One pair is the older label. They both have the size hand written. The Caboots have no other numbers. The older Champion Attitudes have other hand written numbers.
