Barker Black Archdale wingtip in antique chestnut calf. I've wanted these for about a decade but they were ridiculously priced. This used pair was a Christmas gift from my son and his husband. Love the crowned skull and crossbones motif on the toe, outsole, and insole. The design on the sole was made by hand with dozens of tiny brass nails. Amazing craftsmanship.

Happy New Year! All vintage except Levis Tee Bronson Mfg 1936 Cowboy Lee 101B repro Lucchese Bias cut Alligator

Just picked these up. Pretty fantastic jeans and remarkably accurate for an unofficial Lee-pro. High waist, slightly fitted top block, full legs, very slightly tapered to around a 9.5 in hem on size 34. Hairy and inky but not super starchy or stiff 14.5 oz RH twill. Quality seems on par As you can see pretty close to stich for stich to the Lee Archives version of the 1936 Cowboy 101b. It was impossible to resist these pockets. So good. Fugazi Union tag in back pocket. Clever lot number. 36101 B

Antique Cowboy Boots.

Amazing luck at the Antique Mall while Holiday shopping. 1988-1992 Made in El Paso Lucchese Bias Cut Alligator (and goat?) Cowboy boots. Found in a pile of old saddles and cowboy crap. Some deep creases but no cracks. Brand new soles. Cleaned up nicely with a coat of Venetian and Saphir.

Cleaned up my trusty Rag & Bone Indy clones. Did a little digging and found that Grenson had a factory in Brooklyn around the time these were made and along with a few other clues it seems my long running mystery of who made these amazing boots is finally solved.

Added homemade (and totally removable) rubber heel caps to protect both the boots and any hardwood floors from nail damage and to also protect my ass from taking a spill. Black Shoe Goo makes for a great temporary heel repair.

Antique Cowboy Boots Pre 1930? Unknown maker. Seller said 1910s based on pattern, lack of toe bug stitch, construction, and rubber-less heels but I think they are probably a little later. Something about them just says 1920s or 30s. Heavy vintage leather is still flexible and supple, heels have bare leather and nail bottoms since this pair seems to predates the use of rubber on cowboy boots. Love the curves and last shape. The pattern is also a bit unique with a higher vamp like an engineer boot, and very similar to the Clinch cowboy boots made by @brasstokyo that I'm obsessed with. A similar vintage pair that clearly inspired Brass is included at the end. Love the evidence of the maker like crease running down the middle of the vamp where the leather was centered for lasting. And the best part? They are exactly my size and in perfectly wearable condition. Infrequently of course. Any info or educated guesses as to age or maker are very welcome and appreciated.

These past few pages are on fire. I love fall. Same old same old... Shrank the waist a bit on my sized up 501s to reduce the sag a bit but kept the legs dry. Much better.
