Relic boots ( Hank III content )
Trolling on the internet for classic wingtip boots pics, I stumbled on this pic of Hank III's boots in some museum display. Wow ! He was wearing them when I saw him circa 2003... I had no idea he let them get that far... Same pair that's on the cover of his first album.
The plaque reads "Cowboy boots worn in every concert appearance by Hank Williams III from age fifteen until 2008."

There should be a law against that sort of misuse!

First of all: He's got to learn to buy the correct size!

Oh, I think at that point, size is the last of his problems...

I did get pretty excited when I saw he was wearing them when I saw him live in 2003, but then again, I'm an Outlaw Country geek... Here they are on the cover of his first ( excellent ) LP, still looking pretty decent :
I was told the duck-tape thing is pretty common in Texas.

There's a fine line between cool and idiotic.

I'm sure he could afford at least a nice pair of Old Boots , Springsteen finds em. That looks laughable , NOT Cool IMHO.

I sold a very old UK made Wah on ebay a few years back (early Sola Sound)
when I checked the feedback of the buyer and then his address...... Hank III

Interesting . . . Did someone from Texas tell you that?
Haven't seen to many duct taped boots or black straw hats with the brim turned down in the front. . . .

As a matter of fact, yes. Lived there several years, in the San Antonio area. Just repeating what I've heard...
