Very cool look. How's the weather there for leather jackets? Here in Miami we've had quite a bit of cooler weather this year starting around December. This weekend it's been 60s and low 70s: wearable weather for a lighter leather.
High 60s at night, low 70s during the day, scattered showers and windy here. Not really leather jacket country, but I don't care. I brought 1 horse hide, 1 capeskin, 1 goatskin, and a lighter cow hide GW with me, the rest are in storage.
Slippahs is what Bamaboots calls my Roper boots!
No, I have only just looked at them at my local shoe repair guy's shop. The ones he sells are geared more to the working man boots. They look sturdy and well made but the models I saw were a bit clunky.
I do love my ropers BUT in my defense I am getting used to walking in a true western heel. I am not the most graceful at the best of times and at first wearing western boots was like walking on stilts in mud....but I am getting so much better at it.
Is that a Stetson? I have an identical looking hat, a Stetson I purchased here years ago when Johnny was auctioning a lot of NOS 1940s hats
Yep, it is a new Stetson Open Road Royal Deluxe, which has a dress weight and is far superior imo to the 6x I bought and passed on a few years ago. I picked it up from one2miniranch who described it saying:
Look great but clicking that link at least on my phone...it was the weirdest site and couldn’t really follow it ha. I’ll try on my desktop maybe.
No, I don't know the horsehide. As I chatted with him, he asked me to not posting more detailed pictures because he's a little scared about potential copycats. I will respect his opinion and try to convince him to chime in here.
Yeah, it's more of a fun and hobby page than a site to present his work
. On his IG account it is easier to get an impression of his work.Good to know, thanks. I will definitely check it out.Yeah, it's more of a fun and hobby page than a site to present his work
Agreed, I checked it out on my tablet and had a similar experience. He looks like a nice guy with a lot of interesting friends, but I didn’t see anything that made me think I should order a pair of boots from him.
