Thanks Sister.
By "Don't understand" I was meaning "What are these people thinking" for non-costume, everyday going to the grocery/work wear. I guess there must be a part of the population that does wear 'em (judging by the selection on the walls at the local shop), but I haven't seen 'em...

For the purposes of the 76th, I understand.

Okay..oh, and old-time, for-real cowboys used to wear their pants inside the boots to protect their legs when riding through sagebrush. I learned that from an old-time, for-really, real cowboy! 'Course old-time boots were'nt quite as 'fancied' up and pointy! (Altho some newer-times cowboys and cowgirls say the pointy toes are useful for climbing up a steep arroyo or squashing spiders in corners...;)

There is a real-time cowboy in Ben's leatherworking guild (he made a saddle for the President). He always wears his pants tucked into his boots. Have no idea why, but those fancy boots of his are well-sprung and broken in.

Guess we'll never know why cowboys do the things they do.

In the Army we always tucked our pants into our boots as well. Not only does it look better, but it's safer too. When out in the field (for military, civilians or cowboys) and you're trudging through God knows what, having your pants tucked into your boots kept all matter of critter and nasty from crawling up your leg. Ticks are especially a problem in alot of the areas that soldiers train (and cowboys worked) so by wearing long sleeved shirts and tucking their pants into their boots it limits the area of skin exposed to ticks.

Happy New Year, y'all!. Yes, I am almost a day late...sorry, been offline since last night. I hope everyone had a safe one!

FlatTop, looks like the XO answered the question already (thanks, BWTP!). I like the boots in that link...might look at those now!
When we suggested the lace-up boots, we were thinking modern military and price...as those boots are cheaper...but if you are wanting to spend the coin, then almost any of the boots in the link provided by BWTP would work wonderfully. Remember, think Brown!

And yes, we will be wearing the pants tucked into the boots.

Off again...I'll be back at work tomorrow, so I'll be in here at least every now and then!

Tristan- I sent you a PM, but the board kept logging me out, so I have no idea if you got it or not

And consider this a morning bump from your friendly neighborhood camp supporter.

Morning, 76th!
Hope everyone is safe and had a good time.

WickedWren, I did NOT receive a PM from you. Try tristan71@cableone.net. That's my direct email...a bit more reliable than the PM's.

Morning, BrownCoat1! Keep in mind that the Colonel is also a cake-eating civilian.
