I don’t wear these, never have. I bought them on eBay just so that I could put them in my book.

I would wear them though, if I could. If my calves were just a little smaller, if the tops were a little shorter, or if the scallop was a little deeper… then I could wear them, but alas… they just don’t fit.

You would think that patchwork like this would end up a little “hodge podge,” but the seams are flat and tidy. (FACT: Pieced tops are popular with boot companies, because they get to use tiny scraps of leather instead of large hides.)

Ahhh… the 70’s, even I wore patchwork “back in the day” …sort of a Bohemian’s plaid, don’t you think?
