If you want to look like a Nashville local, you are going to need a Nudie suit like Porter wears to go with those boots.
Cowboy boots in Nashville?

Hey Lori,
Is Fairfax anywhere near Abingdon? Iāve been to Capoās Music Store a couple times. They have some really nice instruments there. I played a Huss & Dalton guitar that I wish I could have brought home with me.
Itās a super busy town, but also very nice!
I went to the Fiddlerās Convention in Galax (just to watch) during one of those trips. Virginia is a great place!

Mole, Buddy, Iām tempted.
Thanks, Ben, noted. Wherever I go, Iāll drop your name!
SO psyched for the Camp.

Both at opposite ends of the state. Fairfax is a suburb of D.C. Abington is near Bristol.
This, of course, could raise the price by double, depending on what store you buy from

Those are amazing. Very cool.
Please help me out with the color as I have a color deficiencyā¦ And of course, the photo can present it differently than in real life.

They look blue-ish to me (because of the background perhaps)ā¦ Lol. Orā¦ Maybe Gray is closer to what I mean.
I hear yāall laughināā¦ it stinks being color-deficient! 
.
Thatās why I just had to ask.
Man, Iād like to visit Nashville and pick up some boots. I think it was awesome you came up with the idea to do just that.

You bet, @WillCoop. Thereās definitely a blue tinge on everything in that photo because of the natural lighting and the blue walls in the room (and the blue/gray guitar case behind them).

It is violet guys! if you know what that color means. Britishers will know. Maybe if you mix brown and blue, you might get that violet.
OK its purple, which is violet!
āOK its purple, which is violet!ā
Not wishing to get into a debate over this. Time is so precious when the banjo is waiting to be picked.
We Brits see Violet as Blue and Lilac as Purple. The blue in the background may trick your eyes / brain into seeing other colours, best to place the boots in front of a white or black background to bring out the natural colour of the boots.
Recent social media debates about the colour of a dress went viral, so much so it became international news. as millions across the world offered up their opinion on the colour of the dress. So Iāll decline the invitation to offer my opinion on the colour/color and just say the boots look pretty. YeeeeeHaaaa go get em cowboy

Even as I see shades (so I wasnāt crazy when I said I saw a blue-ish hue), I find this all interesting. It also helps me feel a bit less self-conscious. Lol. I mean, if yāall canāt agreeā¦
Anyway, my related (cowboy boots) but not just more talk in colorā¦
@Archie: Is there is any interest and/availability of cowboy boots over there in general? Also, have you personally ever considered to want a pairā¦ Respecting your deep appreciation for the Bluegrass tradition?
Sure, I know (especially as a Midwestern āYankeeā) that one doesnāt have to dress the part to playā¦ but I personally like the way they lookā¦ and was stationed in Louisiana for 5 yearsā¦ But sadly, that was before my personal Bluegrass connection (I am a transplant too).
I did go to check out that Tecovas boots website (good enough for a native Texan and Nashville resident, our esteemed teacher @BanjoBen, good enough for me!) and thought it may be something both of us consider. I mean, Nashville is a long 9 hour drive non-stop from my front doorā¦ even as I enjoy going, it wonāt be happening any time soon until after I find a job
I have no idea about price and qualityā¦ but perhaps worth a lookā¦
