Vintage brown leather thigh boots


A seller in London sold these very nice, very tall vintage brown leather thigh boots for $89.82. They're a UK 6.

I especially like how soft the leather looks, the narrow stacked heels, and the fact that they can be cuffed. Although I've never heard of the manufacturer (Elliott Jeunesse), it doesn't surprise me that boots this nice were made in Spain.

Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" OTK riding boots


Some of my favorite boots of the season, these Stuart Weitzman "Hilo" boots in a size 10 sold for $360.00. As most sellers just use stock photos of these boots, it's nice to see them modeled for a change. I'd really like to own a pair of these, but at eBay prices, they're still a little too expensive for me.

Military style North Beach Leather dress



It comes as no surprise that this vintage black North Beach Leather dress with military styling in a size medium sold for a very impressive $305.00. It appears to be in excellent condition and the details are simply stunning, especially the gold piping around the collar and epaulets.

Nice vintage 1980s Wild Pair thigh boots


I really these vintage 1980s Wild Pair black leather thigh boots. The no-zipper styling makes for clean lines and a slit in back makes these cuffable.

These size 7.5 boots sold for $81.51.

Great modeling from a favorite leather seller





One of my favorite eBay leather sellers is back after a long absence. Once again, the seller's model pairs leather opera gloves with almost every outfit she models. Nice.
I also enjoy her trademark look of gloved hands on her rear.

This outfit for North Beach Leather pants features a couple of my favorite looks 1) long leather gloves, 2) leather pants paired with a match leather jacket, and 3) finishing the outfit with sexy over-the-knee boots.

Vintage Halston boots bring back memories

Seeing these size 8.5 Halston black leather boots on eBay brought back memories. They were my first real boot purchase circa 1984 - $18 at the JC Penney Outlet Store ($80 in the catalog). These boots sold for $37.05.

Vintage Nine West OTK boots





These vintage Nine West OTK leather boots are the caramel brown version of the boots I first saw in a Macy's California catalog back in the 1980s. They look great cuffed and uncuffed and the model has paired them perfectly with the vintage brown sweater and tights. These size 8 boots sold for $62.08.
