1930'S HORSEHIDE HUNTING/MOTORCYCLE BOOTS

A very similar pair from a 1934 Sears catalog .Nowadays such a pair in good vintage condition will cost you around 250$ that is if you find your size......
Perfect patina........
Ready for game......
Note the two-tone triple stitching ........
To top it all ,a nice double loop stitching ...

Do i have a boot fetish or what !!? Sometimes i wonder...Enough is enough i need to downside, it's insane !!.Before it goes to another house, i've decided to feature this rare pair in "RIVETED" for everyone to enjoy.this pair made of horsehide,comes straight from the late 20's early 30's .I've always loved their special cordovan shade ,that works perfectly with an A-2 an a pair of ww1 jodhpurs. So long old faithful ......

  1. I have been looking all over the world it seems like (OK, on various sites on the Internet) for boots like these, but I can't pay for a vintage pair! Do you know of any company today that sells a similar, simple brown lace up boot that goes at least halfway up the calf?

    Cool blog! I found it via Rivethead, who I found via ACL.
