Where to look for a good chelsea boot - something like 60-70’s-ish with a pointed toe?

i had some 20 years ago, but can’t recall the brand

^ Not a style I’ve ever committed to trying, but when I’ve considered it it’s always seemed like RM Williams has been the strongest contender

RM makes some nice boots, some I find to sleek or to close to that outback/blundsone vibe.

I guess I’m looking for something more akin to western boots and a “Rock’n’Roll” feel - I think I should trawl ebay

Maybe straying too far from the Chelsea boot look but you could always look for pecos with a stacked heel or ropers with a short shaft. That might be close to the look you’re after

I've only had experience with the Tannino sneakers (relatively easy to come by those secondhand), but Buttero (Italy) make some pretty nice boots in various styles. Quite a few Chelsea options. Plug that into your eBay search and see what comes up..

Unmarked do a more western-ish Chelsea. I prefer the look of the version without toe bug stitching, but they do that as well.

@okimoto and @mondo, thanks for the suggestion, seems like some good options and also ropers look like a good way to get a bit of flair.

@Lorcan yes, that is quite what I initially had in mind, thanks.

I actually love these. It’s a style I always swore against, likely because of people like Russell Brand. But these are really nice!

I used to like Chelsea boots back when the Hedi Slimane pointy-boots-and-tight-pants look hit the big time back in the mid-2010s, but mine never look right with the more vintage straight fit jeans I wear now, where engineer boots seem like a more natural style.
 

I imagine a chunkier Chelsea like Lofgren makes would be a good match for wider leg jeans.

It might be worth a quick look at some vintage gold label Tony Lama or Nocona cowboy boots on eBay. They are usually a good value (~$100 or less) and some of the pointier toes (J, snip, J snip, etc) pop up frequently even in my weird size.

If you scroll around for a bit, you should be able to find something more aligned to a rock'n'roll or rockabilly look rather than yeehaw. There is a little bit of a learning curve at the beginning to learn what to look for though

@yung_flynn, thanks for the tip! Yes more rock than yeehaw (nothing wrong with that though)

and yes, the skinny jeans and chelsea boots look is not what I strive for

Haha, I was without heat earlier this week for bit, so was wearing my jacket all day. Thinking this may become my new norm. I mean my partner thinks it's already weird I wear jeans every waking minute, why not a jacket too?

You know what forum this is right? 

[Cold Summer]

Denim jackets are actually my favorite indoor layering garment. I often find a sweatshirt too hot, and leather jackets are bulky/less comfortable, so I usually just wear them I'm out of the house. I find denim jackets the perfect indoor layering solution, pretty much year round.

[PBTony]

By indoors you mean like at work ect not inside your home right?

Right??

[Maynard Friedman]

Or simply not outdoors.

I wear either of my 2 denim jackets over a sweat to save putting the heating on, one's blanket lined so depending how cold it is, plus a beanie. Obviously when it's cold cold, l put the heating on - l'm not scrooge.

Plus we have an open fire, so l 'need' to wear a denim jacket to load up and return with wood from the shed. At least that's my excuse.
