Western, anyone?

Here is another one of my recently departed Uncle "Bud". More of a biker on a horse vibe...or a cowboy cross-zip leather jacket.

Looks so to be the same boots in both pics. Wonder if he’s wearing Hyer’s?

The inlay pattern on his boots looked familiar to me.

Thanks Dale (and everyone). I think you're on to something there with the boot pattern. What are those? Acmes?

I'm thinking Acme.

What are those?

 

[BobHufford]

I'm thinking Acme.

I think you're right Jack.

 

[Hurricane Jack]

I think you're right Jack.

I think I have the same pattern in some Acme's, I'll look tomorrow. And I just don't remember other brands with such a flat arch.

 

[Hurricane Jack]

My memory was off on the pattern but these are Acme Boots with the cloth inside pulls. And they have long narrow vamps with flat arches. With Bud's spur straps it's hard to tell much more in the pic.

Finally got around to putting a new ribbon and bow work on my 3X Resistol refurb...I completely took this one apart and reblocked it and gave it a Montana Pinch with a Mule Kick, similar to Costner's Open Range hat. The brim, though, I curled and shaped more similar to Selleck's Down Under hat, (I liked the brim shape better on Selleck's hat than the one on Costner's). It now sports a matching 1 3/16 wide ribbon....

Thank you buddy! I kinda like these 'old school' styled Westerns.

Great job Terry.

This Miller Bros “Horseman” caught my eye. The ribbon is unusual and the price was right.

That’s ok Bob, horses were the original Harley anyway.

I admit, I don't know jack about Western hats, own a few, but don't know much about them, but this hat looks great.

Thank you, Hector! This is how the hat originally looked with its tall tapered up crown that looked like a Pyramid and a taco looking brim. I stripped the hat down and reblocked it and did a complete make over on it.

It was +3* this morning but no wind out at the pasture so instead of wearing a cap & hood again, I went to a hat I call my Raw Edge Rebel.

Just saw this online. I remember this picture from sometime ago. It's the Beatles, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, and George Harrison from 1961, clad in black leather jackets and Cowboy boots, similar to what your uncle is wearing. It must have been a style that was popular among some back in the day. Just found it interesting.
