I've always admired the often subtle ornate stitching on cowboy boots but the pointy toe and heel just don't work for me. Like the stitched arcuate on the back pocket of a pair Levi's, its just a classic detail engrained in our consciousness but not immediately recognizable out of context. The Western striped underbrim and front panel lining were the perfect compliment. Now updated in a microsuede crown with deadstock japanese blanketstripe underbrim, front panel lining and premium mesh. Made in Los Angeles, CA. USA
