1960s • Custom Made • Black & White Butterfly Inlay Western • Men’s 10 D
Why we love them
These boots are pure mid-century spectacle — bold black-and-white leather with oversized butterfly, crown, and flame inlays, plus long overlay pulls that frame the shafts like banners.
Spec Card
- Maker: Unknown (likely Texas/Mexico border shop, period construction)
- Era: 1960s (pattern work, shaft height, pegged sole)
- Upper: black calf with white inlays and overlays (butterfly, crown, flames, cactus motifs)
- Lining: full leather
- Construction: stitched welt, pegged leather outsole, stacked leather heel
- Silhouette: tall 14” shaft with overlay pull tabs, pointed toe
- Details: oversized butterfly on front shaft, crown and flame inlays, cloud cutouts, white piping, long decorative pulls
Condition (7.5/10 – Vintage Good/Very Good)
Honest wear with creasing across vamps and light edge rub. Inlays remain intact and striking. Soles show forefoot wear but are structurally sound; heels solid with moderate wear. Seams tight, shafts stand tall.
Provenance / Stamp
No maker stamp present; construction, motifs, and tall overlay pulls strongly point to 1960s custom/border-shop craftsmanship.
NB Notes
This is the kind of boot that transcends function — equal parts footwear and art piece. A true showcase of 1960s Western creativity.
