    Cowboy Boots

    According to Art, the boots I originally received and posted a photo of are tan on dark/ chocolate brown. It doesn't look brown to me, but that's what they say it is. If you really want the tan, you could always call back and ask if you could wait on it. I'm sure they'd do that, especially if...

    My original pair started at the back of the line so to speak, which is why it took two months compared to the 2-3 weeks they quoted you. Maybe they were already working on some pairs in your size? The yellow you posted isn't bad. I'm not a fan of the rainbow thread though. Mine should be brown...

    I like rough out on a lot of stuff, particularly a saddle. I just don't know how well it would work for boots. Seems like it would be prone to absorbing liquids and being hard to clean in standard form. I think the waxed calf is a rough out, but with a heavy wax worked into it to prevent exactly...

    Michael, my reorder should be the same color top as the first pair.

    Cowboy Boots

    Michael, the tops I had were technically tan and not yellow. I think yellow might be a brighter, yellower color. I think the pair they're making for me now are supposed to be the same color top.

    Cowboy Boots

    Nah, we still do it. No kicking, but at branding time if we have some bigger calves the kids get to ride. After we get everything done to the calf, before letting it up one of the kids will climb on it's back and hold on. It's a lot of fun for everyone. Last year the owner's 9 year old son...

    Cowboy Boots

    Art didn't call me Wednesday, so late in the afternoon I called him. We talked for a few minutes, he sent me a picture, and we have a plan. The wax calf is available on three colors- black, super dark brown, and medium brown. The medium brown is a little redder than I really care for, but I'm...

    Thanks guys. It sounds romantic, but when your pony dumps you in the middle of a river or you're looking for a calf in 5* with a snowstorm blowing in at 70+ MPH, or a broke down hay baler in dry, windy 90* heat...well, like Chris said "All this romance, drive an ole cowboy insane..." I don't...

    How much things have changed really depends on the operation you work for, or what you do. Rodeo used to be a weekend thing for the locals, now it's grown into a full blown industry. I know guys that still feed small squares in the winter with teams and wagons, and other operations have bale...

    Great video, HJ! It's fun to see how much things have changed, and how much things have stayed the same.

    Cowboy Boots

    Well, I'm moving beyond upset to just amused. I called Saturday at 1:30, spoke with Diana who was supposed to have Art call me. Called today at 1:00, spoke with Diana who was supposed to have Art call me. Called at 3:30 and no one answered, left a message on the machine. No one called. I guess...

    Cowboy Boots

    The fit is okay. I had on different socks than normal and one was a bit loose, but otherwise pretty good. I don't know what I want from them. I could keep these and deal with it if the discount is big enough, but like you I doubt they knock that much off. I really don't want to wait another 2...

    Let's see if I can get pictures to work. Maybe $750 would have been better spent on a new phone. :D The photo doesn't do the color justice, it actually looks more brown than it is. I think it's a little clearer in that one, with the wallet and phone for comparison. They're nice boots...

    Brown top on brown foot with gray stitching...and they arrived today! :) ...And they're wrong. :( Somehow, they ended up brown top on black foot. When I opened the box I was immediately disappointed, damn near heartbroken after waiting this long. After going back to cutting hay with nothing to...

    Received the phone call yesterday, my Bonds have shipped. Today is 9 weeks since they were ordered, so really not a bad wait. The gentleman that called was estimating 3 business days in shipping, so they should arrive next week.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Washed it out with iodine and some other stuff from the vet box, the guys with me threatened to give me a few CCs of the LA-200 we were doctoring cows with. :D I'm not usually a Budweiser fan, but it tasted pretty good at the time.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Thanks, I've done worse. Was working a green horse yesterday gathering the cows, we crossed water once early in the day and he did fine. Had to cross a 25' wide river later in the afternoon, got about halfway through when he came unglued. Softball size bruise on my hip, gash down my shin and a...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I'm wearing the same felt western I usually do, no photo though. My phone was an unfortunate casualty of a horse wreck in the middle of a river.

    Just got off the phone with the gentleman at Paul Bond, my boots should ship in the next two days. He said all that's left is to sand and dye the heels. Ordered May 6, so tomorrow is right at 8 weeks. With tomorrow being Friday and Monday being a holiday I'm guessing they might ship Wednesday...
