Aint tecovas the ones hannity advertises on the radio?
I've seen them advertised on the Military History Channel
What about me screams "he listens to political radio" because it would be good to know.
Tecovas started out with the business model of selling direct to consumer. They grew very large, very fast. The boots are made in Leon, Mexico, which is like the boot making capital of the world. Their boots are very nice quality, like I said, they use lemon wood pegs in the soles.
They have a store there. It's a pretty nice store. They have that store, so you know Lucchese had to open a store in the same mall, just around the corner. Kind of funny.
Ya wanta catch traffic and/or weather, ya often hafta catch it at the bottom of the hour, or at the top of the hour with the news bits, and some stations do this at the 55 to 60 (or 25-30) minute, others at the top to 5 after (or 30-35 minute); you tune to the right 2 stations in the right order you get it twice from 2 different sources. You tune in in the wrong order you get no news and ALL the commercials. The news/talk stations are better for traffic and wearther, but a few rock do decent traffic at the morning and affernoon rush.
We used to always stop at the Nocona factory store on our way to New Mexico. I've bought several pairs of boots and belts there, and my wife bought a nice leather purse and wallet there - but the last time we were through there (2 years ago?) the store had closed. There was a bar/grill there pushing some locally brewed beer.
I had a pair made there and built to my specifications until the movie The Urban Cowboy came out. The makeup fee went from $25 a pair to $300 over the price of the boot. No more custom-made boots for me. I believe they still make baseball gloves there now.
Dont try it in a kenworth...
Yeah, the old law that says you cannot have longer pointier footwear than the king hasent been active in hundreds of years. Its a fad, like boots so far up the leg she pulls them on like bibbys, that nobodybremembers anymore, like clogs taller than dineros boots
The factory moved a long time ago. The store closed around the time I lived there. Some guy bought up a bunch of the old buildings in town and "restored" them. Covid made the prices of real estate in Nocona and St. Jo triple so someone is likely paying way too much rent to sell their beer there now.
In the '70's my Dad called those "cockroach kickers" 'cause you needed them to corner a roach.
