I could be wrong but those appear to be Catskill Moccasins. That's what I will be buying next year sometime. They run pretty steep, but well worth it.

Minus the tie, I could have my arm twisted to dress up like that.

I'm trying to find a picture of my great kilt with a Montrose doublet and lace. That's the only way I wear it--well, almost--and there is nothing that looks better. I only wear it for the most formal occassions, so it's been 2-3 years since I put on the whole rig, but let me tell you, it really looks good, even on me.

Here's another site that shows how to do it with photos. http://www.tartanweb.com/greatkilt/breacan01.htm

Yes - I checked on the original thread from last December

The boots came from a company called Leatherstocking. Same kind of operation as Catskill Mt Boots.

That's indeed the Albion Chieftain. Harlan is head of production at Albion now so he gets to play with all the fun toys.

If you like that type of moccasin I highly reccommend Sod Hoppers: http://www.sodhoppers.com/

Paul Wilson's prices can't be beaten and his moccasins are awesome. I have a pair of custom Sod Hoppers that I've worn for almost 4 years. Sorry to hijack this thread but I really like to let people know about Paul Wilson's Sod Hoppers.

Really?!?! I am heavily involved with WMA training and I can't even count the hours I've spent drooling over their weapons. Maybe someday!

People, If you are ever looking for swords and want one that is just about as close to an actual historical weapon as you can get, then look no further than Albion! Great stuff there.
