If you are willing to pay you can find not made in China to pretty much everything.
I guess I need to make a trip to Vancouver to shop for clothing....Nothing up here is made in North America.
Thanks Guys!
Hmmmmmm...I wonder if Miss E, and Miss T, would enjoy dressing up a Cowboy for a day?

Spurs can leave a nasty mark.......And tend to rip bedsheets like they are paper....Took me awhile to learn that.
I also figure if Miss Erica was around, she'd relieve me of my hat in record time.

I was driving in Victoria the other day and, to my surprise, noticed the Viberg boot factory on Boleskine Road. I was on a mission at the time, so didn't stop to check the place out. However, I did find them on the internet at workboot.com.
They have a few western-style models, of the plain, relatively unadorned variety. Pricey, but one can hope the price reflects the quality. Never having used their products, I can't endorse them, but I will probably visit the place when time permits. If the quality is there, I'd be willing to pay their prices.
I'm sure that Sybian could find a fine lady or two in Victoria to help shop for boots.
Now Miss T....Nothing to be embarrassed about......Spurs are something that I don't use, or wear to often.
My horses are a fine sensitive bunch.....They don't need a heavy hand.
If you'd like to learn a little about me ,just Google "Natural Horsemanship"..or "Round Penning"
Whips and spurs are only something I talk about and hang on my..Or your, wall...

No need to be embarrassed by what you don't know... we all have things we don't know that much about.
Wikipedia can frequently be of some help, but just don't try writing a university paper from it
Miss T.....let me save you the effort...............
.................you'll notice, no matter what he says to the contrary....he's still wearing spurs....
I have one as well...It's for marking stitch length in leather, or at least thats what I use it for.
The spiked disc on a spur is called a "Rowel" and it attatches to a Shank that frames and holds the Rowel
On the side of the rowel there are sometimes little strikers that tap the rowel, called Jingle-Bobs.
Cowboy Fokelore says that the Jingle-Bobs created a tone, or chime that soothed cattle when bedded down at night, and they wouldn't spook when you rode up to them....I don't know if thats true, but it's a good story.

I find an awful lot of interesting "sex toys" come from the most innocent places! I have some beautiful handmade leather belts, for example.
"Note to Self".....One day let Miss Erica loose in your Tack Room....
"Another Note to Self"....Wear eye protection.

my brother wears Viberg boots
the thing about the price is, they do a thorough orthopeadic analysis of you, then custom build the boots to match only you. for example if one of your legs was 3/8 of an inch shorter than the other, they will build a 3/8" thicker sole on the short leg
if you were to find yourself in sudden need of another pair, as they keep your records on file forever, you would only need to send them an email or voice message and your credit card info, and they will build you another set and ship them to the dark side of the moon if necessary. that's why they charge so much
according to my brother, the quality is the best he has ever worn
While nowhere near the calibre of the Viberg's, (nor the price) I"ve been quite pleased with Tony Lama boots.
I have a pair of Lama boots.......
Here is the cunundrum.
Most leather used in North America, ...and there is a shortage due to leather car interiors....is tanned in China.
There is a hide storage facility in Los Angeles that loads floating tanneries made from old Oil Tankers. They are loaded full of hides and tanned on their way to China. When they get close to port, the pickled and processed hides are drained, some are not quite finished, but are considered done. Those thousands of hides that need another week in tanning brine are off loaded with the rest.
These hundreds of thousands of leather hides are sold to Chinese factories..The left over hides are loaded back on, and the ship sets sail back to North America.
The used up thousands of gallons of toxic brine is dumped into the sea....But that is another topic.
When the floating tannery is back in L.A....The surplus processed hides are sold at a discounted rate back here to various companies....This shipments inferior quality hides are mixed in with the decent quality, making it into the "Supeior Quality" North American Market.
For example.....Anyone who has owned a pair of Red Wing ,or Ariat boots over a decade ago, probably still has them....Yet if you bought that same product, a few years ago...You most likely have noticed that the surface of the hide, has flaked away, and cracked.
This is the tanning solution penetrating the softer back of the hide, and not tanning the "Hair" or finshed side of the hide due to subceutaneus membrane that makes up the leather...The surface is just harder and requires more time....It also isn't washed right ,to rinse away the toxic alkalies...There is another problem with this...You are wearing tanned leather next to your skin ,that has high concentrations of tanning solutions..
My point is.....Inferior Chinese leather still makes its way, into the So-called Superior Quality North American Market.
