Got a pair of black cherry 1883s, also rather cheap that were sitting unbought. Can't wait for them to get here, it looks like a lot of boot for the money. Makes me wonder how many more little hidden gems like this are sitting in someone's vintage dead stock pile.
@@historynerdsmancave7567 My apologies for failing to point out what a fine job you do making highly informative and entertaining videos, *before* making my nit-picky comment pointing to a single, small mis-statement in an otherwise fine video!
Nice video, definitely a pair of Lucchese boots are the best hight-quality boots and also one of my favorite brand… Saludos from Sonora Mexico amigo 🇲🇽
WoW - great history lesson on the Co. - I own the 1883 model # N159654 ( not that you give a rip ) Had them for about 16 + years - rarely worn them - they are like new - mist comfortable boot I've ever put on - soft and gorgeous - i got them at a street sale the boot co/ western store was closed down and thwy brought there stock - i paid $60 bucks (no crap) - my goofy sis in law seen them by the door at a family event and was going off about how expensive and wanted to know who's they were - when she found out they were mine she had a coranary 😂😂😂😂 - great channel sir 👍 great channel
The nicest boots I have ever owned were a pair of 1883 Lucchese ropers in their black lone star calf. Beautiful boots but I sized out of them over the years and sold them. My new go to is Chess but it's much more of a rugged boot than the dressy Luccheses.
Thanks for the well-documented history of the brand. I enjoyed it. I just bought a pair of Kennedy Ropers and like it for all the reasons this video lays out. And I'm loving this Florence Buffalo leather. You scored at that price!
As always a great video with lots of interesting history. Lucchese also has a considerable following in Mexico, a famous Mexican singer, Pedro Infante had a custom pair of boots made for him. I was lucky to find a deal on some a few years back. Love those Lucchese boots!
1st, off I love your show. What’s your thoughts on El Dorado cowboy boots? Are they a quality boot? Will they last a long time and are they repairable. Your thoughts please. Thanks
Another enjoyable history lesson and a beautiful pair of boots. You must have gone to great lengths to find new/old stock like that but it was certainly worth your time.
Great channel I’m just discovering you and have been binge watching some of your Stetson reviews. Luccheses are my fav of the many great brands out there. You deserve thousands and thousands of followers, cheers
@@alexgoriatchenkov leather is old and since it’s new I accidentally ripped a leather handle above the shaft on my boot so I went to the cobbler to put on a zippper on the inside of both boots so it doesn’t happen again for me it was $75 , I love em after like 2-3weeks of break in they are comfy now but like I said very stiff in the beginning. The color is like burgundy pretty unique for cowboy boots
@@alexgoriatchenkovI have a pair of Lucchese so I know I’m a 11EE maybe 10.5 EE best thing to do is go to the Lucchese store if you have one near you and get you boot measured and try on a pair and then just walk out
My first pair of boots I ever purchased were a pair of Chocolate Goat Lucchese 1883s. I think I bought them for sub $300 plus tax at the Lucchese storefront in San Antonio in 2007 or 2008. I still wear them to this day. Had quite the sticker shock when I splurged for some Lucchese handmade cognac ostriches a couple years later! Thanks for naming the store, need to size my feet and see if I can get a pair of those calfskins. Great channel, found it as I try and figure out what stetson I think I can pull off!
I have 2 or 3 pairs of Luchesses, from their entry level to their mid grade 1883. Superb boots. Their entry level boots are better than most other brands upper level brands. Classic look, no tacky squared toed silliness. Polishes up to a nice glow. Been to the Luchesse Boutique in Santa Fe. They have boots close to $10,000. Shirts, jackets, belts. All the stuff I will never afford..
What boot would you go with for a first timer thats gonna start dancing with a new group of friends? I like the look of the Double Hs but theyre all rubber bottoms. I def want them to be a western/cowboy boot but not sure if I go with a rounded or square toe. I'm 20 years old btw
Brother, I wish I could help, but as you can probably tell, I ain’t exactly the dancing type and won’t ever be found doing the boot scootin’ boogie. With that said, seems to me that a square toe would be more comfortable for such leg-shakin’ activities and is my preferred toe on boots that I own. Leather outer soles would be a must, too. If you’re on a tight budget like I was at 20-years-old, Durango boots offers discount codes for various boots on its Facebook page each Friday, and you can usually purchase them for about $99.
Another interesting video! Lucchese are my favorite boots. I have 2 pair that were custom made. The first was purchased through Shepler's in Wichita Kansas in 1991. They were custom ordered for someone else who never picked them up. R4 black goatskin with black stitching and black raised piping. I got them for $199. I ordered the 2nd pair directly from Lucchese in 2007. Black goatskin Ropers with black stitching and black piping. These were $550. Both pairs are rather dressy. I don't wear them often, but when I do, they feel great! Lucchese uses a special twisted last that makes the boots far more comfortable than my recently purchased Tecovas Ropers in mahogany ostrich or my tan calfskin Justins that I bought new in 1984. Yup, still got em and still wear them occasionally. Those 1883s you bought look great! Beautiful stitching and a great color. Beautifully understated. Enjoy them, and wear them in good health!!
Great comment that I enjoyed reading! I’d love to have some custom Luccheses. I meant to note in the video that they used the same foot lasts to make both the Lucchese Classics and the 1883s, but it’s hard to remember everything I want to mention when I’m recording for 20 minutes.
Love your videos & the history. Living in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, I have been in the Lucchese Store at the Fort Worth Stockyards and they seemed nice to me. I was not dressed up. Just boots & jeans. Lastly, I haven’t heard anyone here in Texas that pronounces Lucchese with a “Z”. We say Lucche cee
Several years ago I stopped into the Lucchese store in Sants Fe. I was just browsing. They could not have been more rude. Mind you I was wearing a pair of Lucchese Ostich roper boots at the time.
Good video but you did not tell us the name of the dealer in the northeast where you got these can I ask who and where? I need a new pair of boots and since I retired can no longer justify the price of Lucchese boots been thinking of Tecovas
Hey my friend, would you let me know the little store in the Northeast, where you got these? I'm in upstate, NY and I can't seem to find any in my size. Thanks, Jim

I search for those kind of boots all the time, but these Lucchese 1883s are the only time I've actually struck gold.
@@historynerdsmancave7567 I count myself lucky then! Even luckier they were in my exact size.
This is the only western boot I buy so comfortable and they last forever!!!!❤
You had me going there for a second, talking about "King Hussein of Monaco," but then you placed him in Morocco shortly thereafter!
Talking non-stop and uncut for more than 20 minutes is probably going to result in a gaffe or two. We do the best that we can, Bubba…

Worth every dollar these aren't your JC Penny's boot fine quality and expensive but like I said worth every dollar!❤
I bought a pair of 1883's 2008 the mt goats still wear them and rugged too.

Fantastic looking boots! After 15 years sitting in a box, I'd give 'em a good, healthy drink of Bick 4 conditioner. Wear 'em in good health, sir!
Creo que me gusta mas el sofa de cuero en el que esta sentado el señor!

Nice story. As I've said on my video, wear the Stetson that you like and don't worry about what others may think. Good luck hat hunting.
In Rl Paso they call them Le Cheese
Can I order boot for no 7 in INDIA money how cost it and how many day to reach our country please
We don't sell the boots, Bubba, we just review'em. Thanks for watching all the way from India.

Try Tecovas boots, very reasonably priced boots, very comfortable, go with the square toe, but, it’s your preference
just came across your channel. love the content. wondering what you do or did for a living?

I believe that mixed up the Virginia and Alabama boots. Flags and Colors. lol Good review though!

You’d have to find a website or boot shop that sells it
Good boots but pricey. Have handmade line made in El Paso
Crocodile leather
Always entertaining...thank you
Many thanks for the kind words, Pardner.
Thanks for the great Lucchese history from a Laredoboy in Nashville.
