Lucchese workers in El Paso Texas are nearly all Mexicans ha south or north of the border are the same people crafting them who have generations of experience in boot making Cheers from Salt Lake city! awesome channel and fantastic work!!
I love Lucchese. Ive been wearing boots for over 10 years (a cheap brand, bougth em new for 180 at the time) but two years ago I found a pair of Lucchese Classics in a vintage store (for 120 bucks!) that just fit like a damn glove. I was already blown away by the way boots fit in general but nothing compares to those Lucchese Classics. A while after I bought them I went to the only dealer in my country (Netherlands) to see what they were initially worth, and found out they were made to order and probably worth over 1300 bucks. About two weeks ago I was looking for cheap riding boots and hit the same store, found another pair of Classics that fit just as amazing as my first pair. Couldnt believe my luck.
Cinderella!
Thats boot lotto right there . Good for you wish I was that lucky .
Yeah, vintage Classics are so well made. The more modern 1883s & 2000s can’t compare to the Classics craftsmanship.
I bought some Lucchese boots 5 years ago at a western store in Austin called Cavender's and they still look and feel great.
Lucchese has legacy. They have made boots for President Lyndon B. Johnson, Bush Sr., Bush Jr., and Obama to name a few. They have made boots for Tommy Lasorda, Fernando Valenzuela, Karl Malone, and Big Papi. The Terminator himself came down to El Paso, TX to take a tour and took a picture with my dad. The members of the country band Midland have custom made boots from Lucchese. If you buy a pair of Lucchese today you have bought boots from bootmakers who have made boots for over 40 years. They started with Dan Post and ACME boots before Lucchese moved to El Paso.
Dead on mr yeeee
Lucchese has been making boots over a 100 years, not just 40 years...what do you mean by “They started with Dan Post & ACME...”? Dan Post didn’t come into business until the 1960s...unless “they” was referring to Midland and not Lucchese...
@@konacopia Yes you are correct. Lucchese has been making boots since 1883. They moved to El Paso Texas in the early 1990's my dad just retired from Lucchese 2 months ago. Back in the days at 6601 El Paso Texas 79925 the factory known as Dan Post had their headquarters but they were owned by the ACME boot company if you don't believe me search Johnny Cash and ACME boots. Yes I am from El Paso Texas and my uncles still work at Lucchese. I own 20 pair of Lucchese's and thanks to my Mexican dad I was able to get them at a 50% discount.
We visited El Paso when our son in law was in the military there. We really enjoyed the city and the people were very friendly and welcoming to us, not to mention the food was out of this world. Maybe my favorite city in all of Texas! I wish we could have toured the Lucchese factory.
Have worn Luccheses for years - definitely my favorite as well. Thanks for this excellent intro!
I thoroughly enjoyed this presentation! Bravo!
I really enjoyed this video! And it's awesome to see my black cherry ostrich leg 1883's every now and then in these!
Hey Alan, thanks for the sneak peaks on my boots every now and again, don't worry, I'm not in a rush. I love your profession, and you take the time to do it right. Thanks bro!
hey cool! i just joined that FB group before seeing this video, full circle!
9 dollars must have been
crazy expensive back then for boots! I know my great grandpa bought 3 acres for 50 dollars in the early 20s outside San Antonio.
Love lucchese and the vintage Tony lama boots 🤘🏼👊🏼.
Great video! I love Lucchese boots. Just ordered a pair of giant alligator.
Very helpful video. Very knowledgeable. Learned alot more about these boots. Actually in the process of buying my first lucchese boots this weekend.
Bought mine in 1991 at the El Paso store. Resoled once, but the uppers are still fantastic. Worth the cost.
Boots forever.
I bought a chear pair "$500" of ostrich quill to try them out and loved them so much I got another pair in dark grey elephant and absolutely love them!
I just got a black pair of caiman with buffalo leather and im in love with them.
Good presentation
My Lucchese Trents have Brass Tack construction from the factory. It even says so on their website. So, they don't always have Lemon Pegs.
They are my brand of boot. Have been for 25 or 30 years.
I found a pair of those black full quill ostrich Lucchese 2000’s on eBay for $200. They are in phenomenal condition and appear to be resolved, but that’s fine with me because the skin is in great condition!
My dad gave me his old full quill ostrich Lucchese boots from the 70s to gift to my husband. They need some cleaning, conditioning, and a maybe a resole but they are not too bad.
Luccheese boots are ausome!
I had a nice pair of Lucchese boots back in the early 2000s. They were a black cherry color of the Seville boots with square toe that slanted downward instead of the straight square toe like today. I noticed over the years how the price of them skyrocketed from when I first bought them. I paid about 350.00 for the first pair, had an issue with them and then found them in another shop that discounted them because of a flaw, the discount was to about 425.00 because they were about 575.00 at the time. Before they discontinued them last year, they were 1150.00, which is ridiculous. If goatskin was that expensive, then why is the Lonestar boots considerably cheaper. I think they wanted to discontinue them a longer time back but people were really loving them.
I always wanted a pair, but can't afford them.
Regarding recrafting: is it possible to size up 1/2 -1 size? I have some (lizard skin) Tony Lama’s nearly 30 years old and very lightly worn my feet have grown a bit.
Thank you for this information. Cowboy boots are relatively new for me. Is a Tony Lama episode coming too?
Yes it’s definitely one I’ll have to cover
Nice sombrero amigo !!!!]:)
Good info on the brand , hope to try them some time soon and a selfish request, could you do a video on alligator leather? Recently got a belt "cuadra" supposed to be from said leather but upon trying the stuff started to crack and some parts are peeling :'( would like to know your opinion. Got a fake or bad quality one?
PD thanks for the Mexican craftsmanship shout out
@Natasha Minor thanks for your insights , I though so about its authenticity yet it's a shame for I paid not exactly premium but ~$125.00 is not cheap for a fake. I bought it from the official e store but when asked for warranty they never replied, so be wary of CUADRA brand.
The best boots are made in leon guanajuato,mexico boot capital of the world...
No. Lucchese is the best.
@@talisikid1618 not really
I noticed the womens lines are more often made in Mexico vs Mens brands.
FWIW, My Luccheses fit a bit more loosely (more heel slip, looser across the instep) than my old Dan Posts or Tony Lama Black Labels.
Have you showcased Cuadra boot?
What saphir creme would you recommend on a pair of lucchese ostrich boots colored in chocolate?
I ordered a custom pair of boots from Lucchese at the Hotel Drover in Fort Worth and haven't looked back. I'm a 13.5B so finding boot that fit comfortably is always a struggle. As for the price of boots, I'd guess $10. That's probably too high and I'm underestimating inflation.
What kind of ropers are the ones 2nd to the left?
Have you done a review on Tecovas?
I looked it up and 9 dollars was equivalent to almost 300 dollars back then
Very informational, but dear god the background noise kills me.
Is that square toe a black cherry Roy?
Hi Sir, planning to a trip to Leon MX and get some boots, do you know which are best bootmakers out there?
Unfortunately I do not as some of the boot makers don’t even put there name on them so it’s hard to tell who’s the maker of them.
Hey doing research for my next pair. Assuming you resole and take care of the leather how long can a lucchese typically last? Like 10 years? Thanks!
I’ve had pairs of boots come through the shop that are 40+ years old. As long as they are taken care of, stored well and properly repaired over the years they can last a very long time
1991 for mine
What model Gators are those?
What is the model of the square toe gator boots?
My only pair of Lucchese are my goto boots. I still wear my Chisos and Tony Lama on occasion, but the Lucchese get first pick...All my chicom made ariat went to the Salvation Army donation bin.
Yeah, Ariats can only compare to Lucchese’s cheapest line, the 2000 series which is their budget priced boots.
No, that's incorrect. Their 2000 series are their mid-line boots.
Aren’t most or all of the original Lucchese boot makers at Black Jack now?
I also heard a few spun off and started BlackJack. Heard good things. I own Lucchesse but will own Black Jack soon.
I just noticed some pegs have recessed into the insole and have a lot of play. Is this something I need to address ASAP or can I wear my boots until it needs a new sole?
It may be good to have your local cobbler take a look. Maybe they will come out and the sole can have some new ones added or switch the damaged ones for brass nails
@@CobblersPlusMy understanding is that brass nails aren’t as desirable because unlike lemon wood pegs, they don’t shrink & dry with the leather shaft/sole when it gets wet, which is key in maintaining a moisture seal, & the brass nails can damage the stirrups as the soles wear down. Of course, if one doesn’t ride, damage to stirrups is less of an issue, but I’ve also read that since the brass nails don’t shrink with the leather, there is higher likelihood of moisture leaching into the sole/shaft, resulting in faster deterioration of the shaft over time, which makes sense, but I think in the big picture, most wearers will need to replace the soles before seeing that issue with brass nails come to light.
Pretty pricey here in Toronto Canada 🇨🇦
As a professional cobbler.. what can you say about the today’s Lucchese boots, honest opinion please.
I have a few pairs in my collection, from 60’s, 70’s , San Antonio and today’s 1883... the quality is on decline.. sad... they’ve started to cut the corners to make an extra buck... my very favorite are the San Antonio 80’s ones... solid build, pegged, all 100% high quality leather, compare to today’s some junk materials inside of them...
Lucchese boots can you donate a pair of your beautiful boots
Have you experienced Lucchese in goat leather? Does goat leather less durable than calfskin?
Calfskin always last longer than goat skin in any brand but goat skin is softer for comfort
@@CobblersPlus Many thanks
they are making some now in china, yes you heard right. China
Do the EE fit wide?
EE is for wide foot in Men’s, whereas D is standard fit, A & B is even more narrower.
What model is the tan/ second to last boot on the left? Thanks.
Are the lucchese 2000 the low quality collection and if so how low quality are we talking about?
I'm looking for info on this and little available on the web. Been looking through eBay for used boots and 2000s have been discontinued. I have a pair of 2000s bought on eBay. They are comparable to similar leather/style from Tony Lama.
Cheaper line is now branded as 1883. Most have 3/4 welt so you won't see lemon wood pegs. Later 2000s were same. Earlier 2000s had half welt with lemon wood pegs. Lucchese's website lists the different toe and heel options so with same model boot you will see these options. Option number is appended to the boot model number. Note that Roper style boots, since 1980s, all have 3/4 welt so they won't have lemon wood pegs.
Lucchese Classics are the most expensive line and some models are still available. Many on special order. Some boots labeled as "Lucchese Bootmaker" appear to be of high quality. These look like older boots, perhaps before they decided to call them "Classic." Anyone with more info, please share.
@@jetmobile I’ve a pair of 1883s and they have lemon wood pegs. The 2000s were Lucchese budget line, and are usually made overseas (China) and have glued soles. The 1883s is their mid priced line, often made in the USA & Mexico. To say 2000s is comparable to Tony Lama is only true if comparing to Tony Lama’s budget line as well. Tony Lama’s Black Label is comparable to Lucchese Classics.
@@konacopiaI have a pair of 2000 ostrich, they are lemon pegs. No country of manufacture stated only a number. I’m assuming they should be made in USA since if made in another country it should state so. But I don’t know. I get frustrated with cowboy boots that don’t state where the boots are made. I want to buy predominantly USA made boots. Mexico is also okay ish but not made in china.
@@luceafarul579 I stand corrected: it’s the 2000 series that were Lucchese’s mid-level product line. My 1883s do not have any pegging, though early 1883 models did have pegging, but generally, the 1883 product line was budget Lucchese line made in Mexico & supposedly overseas. The 2000 series were all Mexican made. USA or Mexican made are fine, as they generally had better quality hides than those made overseas. My Lucchese Classics though are handmade in the USA.
@@konacopia I’ve seen plenty of 2000s made in USA. If they were made in Mexico and not stamped as so I think the company would be in trouble. As I understand it the older models that were made in USA did not have manufacturing country stamped on them. The newer 2000s that were made in Mexico would have “made in Mexico” stamped inside of it.
Infamous?
Infamous ? What did Lucchese do to be infamous ?
Going to guess a Buffalo nickel
Kangaroo back then, I would think about $8.50?
I bought a pair of Ostrich practically brand new for 40 dollars. I practically stold them, a lady sold them to me.
If you have lucchese classic handmades please don’t resole them anywhere else. Lucchese factory will resole them for you. Only the classics though. Once they are resoled elsewhere lucchese will not touch them
Lucchese turns down boots for a number of other reasons and also they won’t do extra upgrades that cobblers can do
Someone is talking in the background.
$9.50 in 1887 ?
$300
$2
Infamous : well known for some bad quality or dead.
So many people use that word without knowing it's negative.
@@MrFelixGun so many don’t know the English language & it’s their only language lol,
My guess they cost $1.97
Infamy?!!! Do you really mean these should be remembered for some horrible characteristic or act? Your words...
I don't think he knows what "infamous" means.
is funny how some americans thinks mexicans have no quiality in boots when we teach them how to make boots hahahah
I've been telling my friends to check out Cuadra. I got a few and I love them but my caiman/buffalo Lucchese's are my favorites.
I'm almost 60 and I remember Mexico was the place to take your car for custom leather upholstery in the 1970's, great craftsmen there. They make great guitars also. But they didn't "teach" us.
@@sdolsay used to buy all my holster rigs in Juarez. Great stuff. Now its not worth catching the "Bullet Flu"
@@conductorcammon No Kidding!
I just counted my Cabo boot collection 10 pairs can’t find one of them and I just finish cleaning them shining them I wouldn’t say shining but moisturizing them had the soles what was winter Ropers put on them because I live in the city and I want to better soul not resolve but protecting so nicely done I guess it’s worth 100 bucks no I didn’t get all tan I got three pairs done and I noticed some thunder really old pair and I just saw him give it a good wash and Moisturize them wow they look nice brand new heels have to be fixed and then have them raise the bed are additional babies three eights to it at all but they’re only a size 6 why did I buy a size 6 I have a tendency boots fit smaller than dress shoes I don’t think skates I’ll take a smaller pair wearing shoes I take a smaller pair dress shoes never buy have Saenz always go for side and don’t forget I’m getting older getting fatter now my boots fit really perfectly on my calves.... Dressy boots now another seven pairs maybe I don’t remember anymore, LOL oh yeah one style I have in three colours because they are so beautiful but I can’t do 3 1/2 inch heels I can go up as high as 3 1/4 go figure, LOL I guess it’s old age and I got to go walk miles in heels now I just can barely make it one block
Infamous? Check the definition again…perhaps you meant famous
Whoa there, compadre! I’m sorry but you are using the word “infamous” incorrectly in your video. The word “Infamous” has these meanings (Merriam-Webster’s dictionary):
1) Having an exceedingly bad reputation; notorious
2) Causing or deserving severe public condemnation; heinous.
3) Convicted of a crime, such as treason or felony, that carries a severe punishment.
You might want to revise your video and use the correct form of the word “famous” when talking about reputable companies, like Lucchese, so you do not get sued for liable and slander. Please consider taking an English grammar course while you’re at it to make sure you are speaking the English language correctly to keep yourself, and others who may be learning from you, out of addition potential trouble. Adios!
I just posted about this now when I came across your post! He said infamous TWICE in fact. I did pardon him in case English wasn’t his first language though...lol...btw, additional* potential trouble :)
Maybe you could explain how someone gets sued for “liable,” while we’re throwing stones from inside a glass house! Do you possibly mean libel? It’s an English word as well.
I don’t know about men’s but women’s are not true to size, they run narrow.
@0:06 & 0.46, you describe Lucchese as “infamous” twice. I watched your video in its entirety, and nothing you’ve said implicates anything that’s infamous about the brand...unless of course you don’t understand what the word “infamous” means, in which case, let’s hope a Lucchese rep doesn’t see this video. Pardon, if English isn’t your first language...
I love Lucchese for their looks but they’re uncomfortable. I had 2 pairs and only wore them about 3x and through them out. Comfort and looks can go together
Sounds like you didn’t a proper fit. Depending on the type of leather, it takes more than three wears to break them in. I’ve several pairs of Lucchese boots, Classics & 1883, and they all had varying times of break-in periods. They all fit like a glove & are quite comfortable. Making sure you get the right width is key too.
Ríos of Mercedes>>>>>lucchese
Tecovas are wayyyyy better. J/k 🤣
BS
Lucchese Men's Comanche Western Boots - Round Toe, is made in Brazil and boot repair men in my area will not try to repair them. They are nice wearing but will not last, and will not be repaired. DON'T BUY THEM !!!
No such of thing as “snip toes”.. it’s “box toe”... no such of thing as “shaft”... it’s called “tops”... wide toe double stitch, huh? 😂😂😂
The word "infamous" has a bad connotation. If you're going to bash Lucchese, I am not interested in watching. Take care. Bye.
Hi, I'd like to send you a dictionary because it seems like you need one
@@KOHUNIT no he’s right it’s mainly used when something is bad or mediocre
@James Watch the video, or else.
