The "long walk" sounds about right. Or take it to your cobbler and they may be able to do something about it. I had a thread on the inside of a boot once that did something similar. A quick cut and all was better.
As to the boots in the same leather, I wouldn't. But its your money. You...
Picked up my White's yesterday. Just what I wanted and expected. My Cobbler couldn't quit going on about the quality construction of these boots. Love 'em! He did warn me that many folks can't wear anything else after wearing a pair. So now I guess I'll need a pair of packers, black...
After much hemming and hawing, I've ordered mine! Good Ol boring brown semi-dress. Should be here this week (or next- with the Holiday). My cobbler was excited to order them! If they fit, I've already lined out my next order to White's. Thanks to all those that posted fit, etc advice...
I've got Blundstone, RM Williams, Redback, and Rossi side gore boots. They've all got their plusses and minuses. Blunnies- I've got pre and post Tasmanian production - Great for casual/work wear.
The Redbacks are Comfy but are strictly casual- No way to dress up the sole.
Rossi- Clean...
Trader Vic's Bartender guide (1947) is a great classic also. I love the vintage illustrations, and drinks that really are nolonger made. I like Helen Corbitts Cookbooks for the same reason.
All the best,

I am the embodiment of boring cars. Taking a twist on the Henry Ford quote, I have told many a salesperson when asked about the color. "It can be any color, as long as its white."
You'd be surprised how many of the sales people don't get it, and continue trying to sell me the black, Dark...
Ok- so a bit misleading. Where can you buy a men's red wool crewsock?? I've searched the internet over! As many manufacturers as I can imagine. I don't know if I'm trying to bring out my inner Garrison Keillor, or what, but I want a few pairs.
I think they would go well with my Alden...
I don't want to bust any bubbles, but I had and returned the Duluth Bag. I had the rivets in the handle tear out the first time I used it. When I looked at the construction I wan't very impressed (But I did get it on sale). I returned it with zero problems from Duluth. I've done a lot of...
Cattleman's near the stockyards in OKC- The way a steak house should be. My dad remembered going with my Great Gran Pa, when he was a kid in the 30s. I think we had the same waitress when Pop and I went in 2005! They don't change what's not broke.
Jamil's in Tulsa is always a favorite of...
Been going to rodeos all my life. Rode in some. Still going to as many as I can find time for. I try to get out to the Prairie Circuit for some of the better riders.
Like a few of you above I've got a couple pair of Blucher's, even wearing a pair right now. "Never lose a Stirrup!"

TR used a side by side fox double.
He carried a 12 bore to Africa, and a 16 for birds in the states. He wrote a letter to AH Fox about the quality of the shot guns of his manufacture.
The Fox is a fine weapon well thought of by gun smiths, and shooters alike (I shoot one).
The 97 was a...
Not Here. I grew up west of here and no one would ever look twice. Today below 20F, so I've got my silk wild rag around my neck, gloves, and hat complete. I love winter! And being warm.

As to having dogs around: In rough shooting aka walk up , what most of us do in the U.S. I was taught at a very early age that you have to see blue (sky) below the bird before you pull the trigger. It always has worked for me. I spend a lot of days afield with mine and others dogs.
