I think they became popular in Baton Rouge around 1980 or 1981. I bought my first pair in 1978 when they were listed in LL Bean as a "Hunting boot". Only wore them in the rain tho.

In the 80s around campus they were very popular.
I was one of the poor college students that could only afford the knock-offs that KMart sold. I wore them hunting and on rainy days.

I don't wear them much, but in college, that was the perfect footwear for cold rainy days while walking to class.

I'd bet good green money that there were more than a couple paisley silk vests in his closet then too.

and bolo ties.

I sent my old pair back for a repair in September. LL Bean is just going to give me a new pair since these were so screwed up.
I won't get them until January.

Those were my going out clothes. Z Cavarichis, Generra shirt, black reboks. And vest of course.
In winter it'd be a black turtle neck. Golf rope and St Christopher on the outside.

Fashionable? I only wear mine when I go clubbing.
Seal hunting is a real sport.

I can sit here today and proudly say I never owned any Zcavaricci. However, I did sport the duckhead khakis. I was that oddball preppy wannabe clubbing amongst those peach fuzzed mustached, vest wearing, drakkar sporting, black zcavarrici attired kingfish zombies.
