A Fistful of Costumes – Part Four: eBay Man’s Boots
Days Until Halloween: 15
Part One :: Part Two :: Part Three
My boots arrived this week–the pair I won on eBay last week or so.
Boots with the spurs I bought.
I’m pretty happy with ’em. The good thing is that they are already broken in, so they comfortable to wear. I’ve been wearing them (sans spurs) while out and about this week to get accustomed to how they feel–and I gotta say, I like it. Not having to worry about shoe laces is nice, but they are rather warm which is great for the chilly weather as of late.
And they make me a bit taller. Which is a plus.
The white whale of this costume remains the hat. I stopped at a couple places today, but had zero luck. I’ll hit up another shop or two I’ve been to before and figure something out. It may come down to getting a hat that I have to reshape the brim to make it close. I’d prefer a brown hat, but I’m afraid I might get stuck with black hat, which, horror of horrors, would clash with the brown leather of the rest of my costume. Oh well.

It may be too late for this year but there’s a great Western wear store out on M-21 near Ovid that has a very large selection of cowboy hats and vests.
I did think about heading out there actually, but I never go around to it. I did check out their website though and what I saw seemed out of my price range. Thanks though!
