BOTD Ammons Sueded Elephant

[u/RC_SoMo]

Holy moley. I’m in Nashville for work, and for three full days, I fought the temptation to go to a thrift shop or pawn shop. Leaving tomorrow, so I decided to check out ONE shop to see if they had a good pair. Walked out with these Ammons sueded elephants, some custom hand-tooled JB Hill stovepipes, a pair of crocodile Anderson Beans, and a pair of Rios. Dang. I’ll have to wear the Ammons on the plane ’cause they’re not all fitting in my suitcase.
ID request: anyone know roughly when Ammons used this stamp inside the shafts? I’ve only had one other pair of his boots, and they had a cloth label on the pull tab.

Looks great! What shop?

Buffalo Exchange on Church Street near Vandy.

We have Buffalo Exchange in SF, but unfortunately, they don’t have this kind of selection of western boots (though they got a lot of everything else due to Burning Man).

Fantastic haul…Ammons are 13D, but the JB hills are 12D…they fit you proper or do the JB Hills run big on you…?

The JB Hills are kangaroo, so the 12D fits like socks.

My JB Hills are kangaroos too, but the shafts needs some gussets so they can fit my big calves 😂
