Whiskey Hicks Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I was going to go cheap on a used pair, but then I thought maybe I should get something that will last me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 You’re going to be on your feet for several hours so it’s a good idea to get quality leather, both in footwear and holsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMEN! Agree 100% Yes, those boots are fine. Double H boots have a good reputation. I have never tried them but came very close to buying a pair last year.

Tex Wilson Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Nice looking pair of boots, they look close to what I wear except mine have a taller shaft and square toes. Mine are Noconas. BTW they are good for SASS. AG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Observing? Don't you mean shooting? As long as you can show that you can safely handle the guns, I'm sure you'l have half the group wanting you to shoot their guns.

And yes, “Period Clothing,” is what cowboys wear. Even B-Western is not a “costume”. It’s “period” Hollywood Western movie clothing...unique. All serious stuff for CAS. To me, anyway.

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Boots are good. What about a hat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smuteye John SASS#24774 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 The clothing requirement for anything other than the costume classes is very basic. Jeans and a long sleeve shirt with an open collar (no button down collars) along with those boots have you covered. A hat isn't really required but is a reasonable addition. I figure a broad brim hat is a piece of safety if you are shooting a top eject rifle like a toggle link. It will guard the back of your neck and your collar and keep hot brass from finding a way into your shirt. One extra that I suggest is a vest with pockets. Once you have your gun belt on, you can't get to your pants pockets, so the vest gives you someplace to keep things you want to keep handy. I also keep a half a dozen extra shotgun shells in one of the pockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrus Cassidy #45437 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 All but two categories have no rules for costuming, save for dressing western. B Western and Classic Cowboy have some significant costuming requirements. Besides those, all you have to do is look western, and modern western counts! Shirts are supposed to be long sleeved, but I've never seen anyone turned away from a match for wearing short sleeves. So you can wear those boots everyday, and to the match.

irish ike, SASS #43615 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Those style boots are not required for anything except B Western. Make sure they fit well as I have experienced and read here on the wire and why you didn't see cowboys walking around much. They are designed for riding horses. Some people find them uncomfortable walking and standing for hours. Ike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
