![]() ![]() Finding men's Lucchese in wild patterns is more difficult. ![]() Lucchese also has a more subdued, mature look about them. Any other brand (barring Heritage) has normal width shafts requiring cowboy cut jeans. They're hard to get on and even harder to get off (only brand I have that requires a jack), but that tight shaft gives me exactly the look I'm going for. All my Lucc's are 1883 and the girl from Lucc that emailed me back said that if I want tight shafts, that's the line I need to shop. I can get away wearing Levi's 513 (slim straight) which makes for a nice hipster cowboy look. I have about six pair of Lucchese and what's especially nice about them is how tight the shaft is. Lucchese and Heritage are, imho, premium brands compared to Justin Group (who now owns Tony Lama). Justin, TL, Nocona, Wild West, Lucchese, Heritage. I own about 20 pair of boots, down from maybe 30. Maybe I'll see if the Classics are better, but for the 1883 line, to me it feels like I'm paying for the name more than anything else. I'd like to buy more Lucchese's, but I don't think I will unless they are on sale. 10.5 is doable, but the throat is still so tight I need a boot jack to remove it. A 10 in Goat, and most times I can't even get my foot into the throat. The Mignon and the El Patron have giant, thick soles, with the Lucchese only being slightly thicker than the tecova.Īlso, there seems to be some inconsistencies in how Lucchese utilizes their leathers and sizing. ![]() I'd probably rank the Clint's leather as similar to the Mignon, and definitely a step below the Tecova and the El Patron. The Clint doesn't hold up any more (or any less, to be fair) than any of the others. The others are just as comfortable as, or more comfortable than, the Clint. The first three are all way less than $300. My faves currently, in no particular order: Tony Lama El Patron in smooth ostrich, some bourbon Cartwrights, Dan Post Mignon, and some Lucchese 1883's (Clints, I think). I've got at least one of pretty much every brand, but I'm a bit lost on what the big deal about Lucchese's are? I've gotten up quite the collection (I need help.

Then, snaps are added to secure the buckle and loop. Next, we cut and sand the edges and then punch holes, after which we stitch and use Italian paint on the edges. Then, we glue it together with the exotic skin strap. We begin by stamping the lining with the Bronco logo, sizing, etc. Then, we glue the ends of the skived straps and hammer it down. In the process of splicing, we skive (shave) the ends of the straps with a sharp rounded knife, so that no lumps are visible. For Crocodilian and Lizard skins, we start by cutting the straps, and then splicing them. The splicing is done so nicely, that it is hardly noticeable. For Crocodilian skins there is no other way around it, if you use larger skins then the belt will be very thick, stiff, and it will have a tendency to crack at some point in the future. Some exotic hides such as Crocodilian or Lizard must be spliced due to the small skins, as is standard in the belt industry. ![]() The making of a Bronco belt is a handmade process, requiring attention to detail and excellent craftsmanship. ![]()
