The boots!!!! (Potentially)

I bought a pair of cowboy boots for the first time Thursday. When I was researching them, I saw that Lucchese boots were $$$$, a couple five figure boots.
I just happen to find a pair today.

So if we just say “vintage” on an old shirt it increases in value by 300%?

Vintage clothes are clothes over 20 years old. These are from the 80’s.

I have a pair very similar to that. They are $400 or so new. A little more if they are made in Texas vs Mexico.

I couldn’t figure out what you meant by black nails, then I realized my 14 yo daughter holding the coat. Not black, but purple, and not me.

I went to a shop with vintage band tees in Savannah and those suckers were like $50-$70 per tee. Insanity.

The clothing I can maybe handle with a good machine wash, but upholstered furniture or things like those Vera Bradley wallets give me the major heebie jeebies.

I didn't say you did. I couldn't touch it though.

To be fair, antique stores are my #2 fear/phobia. Has been since I was a young child. I used to get stomach sick when we would go on field trips to plantations.. I think I even got sick at the old Governor's Mansion.

I can't explain it. Its not the public aspect necessarily. Its the old part.. and the being in people's homes where they... do home stuff. And how it smells musty.

I don't know, man. It gives me the major willies.

I really enjoy these posts, but I have to think that
