Depends on the laces. Don't go with white laces and you'll be fine.
When they fall apart on ya save up for a pair of custom made lineman boots. You won't regret it.

About 500 bucks but they will last the rest of your life and be the most comfortable pair of shoes you've ever worn.

Hell they'd last the lifetime of the person you give them to as well, so long as you care for them properly.
Dám si jedno pivo prosím! It's not often we get a military parka that's nice enough to be worn out to fancy dates while being durable enough to work in but this one fits the bill! The left arm of each of these parkas has an Armed Forces of the Slovak Republic patch which is a great conversation starter and adds points to your LARP street cred. T...
Don't skimp on cost for one, but I personally don't have any boot recommendations. If you know soldiers, ask them. They live in their boots and know their shit
My current pair are maybe $40, but that is only because I needed them for a short period of time and don't have much use for them. I bought them expecting them to not last long, and with no intentions for them to last long.
There is a Red Wing shop near me that I can get to. I've heard good things about their boots. If those don't work out, I am going to go with Ariat, Jim Green, or Danner. I am fine with spending up to $250 or so on boots.(edited)

Apparently Red Wing is more for fashion, Irish Setter is more for work, so replace Red Wing with Irish Setter.

Also, what websites would you guys recommend looking at to purchase a plate carrier? I’m planning to look at my local surplus stores, but I’d like to have some more options

The Battle of Blair Mountain was the largest labor uprising in United States history and the largest armed uprising since the American Civil War. The conflict occurred in Logan County, West Virginia, as part of the Coal Wars, a series of early-20th-century labor disputes in Appalachia. Up to 100 people were killed, and many more arrested.

I’m thinking I’ll get a pair of hose, a kirtle, an apron dress, and a head scarf, along with a bead chain and tortoise Broaches, and I’ll use my existing boots, belts, baggage, cloak, and underwear
Weren't the rancheros usually white and also landowners? As opposed to cowboys who, despite what Hollywood seems to think, were mostly black and mestizo and were basically pastoral serfs?
I thought the term used for the more clearly indigenous was "naturales", while the term "ranchero" was usually reserved for those of whiter complexion?
I know at least in CA, Ranchero is used as a "big umbrella" term for what is basically Mexican cowboys more or less
11:32 PM
in New Mexico and Texas, Vaqueros is likely used instead even tho they are basically the same thing
11:33 PM
Charro is basically their equivalent of more or less a Rodeo Cowboy

Ranchero means "one who works at ranches" and could also, depending on context, but used in leau of farmhand, but it has some very "proto cowboy culture" elements to it

It is. So, help me with my history here. My understanding is that the cultural glorification of rancheros partly formed as a critique of the ejido system in favor of privately owned ranchos and estancias?
keep in mind, the mexican civil war/revolution, which had a ton of rancheros involved in the war, got started more or less with the predominantly indigenous and mixed race groups were getting shafted land ownership wise by the Diaz dictatorship, along with increased hypocrisy of using indigenous iconography without actual respect to the indigenous people. Land ownership was the bigger issue tho admittedly.(edited)
Interesting. Kinda similar to how the glorification of cowboys in the US largely came about as a justification/glorification of manifest destiny and the expropriation of Indigenous land for the expansion of the plantation/sharecropper system into the West (something I'm pretty sure most of the actual cowboys from that era would've balked at for a myriad of reasons).
rancheros didn't own the ranches, just worked them. And not for a lack of trying to get land ownership either, the government made it a point to fuck over the peasant classes in regards to land ownership (NOT HELPED by Santa Ana and THAT fuckery)

Which is, again, ironic given that most of the cowboys back then were also mestizo, Indigenous, or black. Hell, most cowboys now are mestizo. At least in the southwest.

But that's inconvenient for the narrative, so it's not generally talked about.
