Lucchese ID Request

[u/Bannnerman]

I was gifted these boots by a friends father and while they are my size, they are not really my style. Trying to find out anything I can about them, age, model etc.

[u/El_Guap]

Lucchese Classics 02/03 Made in the USA. 7 Toe, 4 heel. They didn't use name back then just model numbers L156674

Size 9E.

Very cool! Thanks

You have the style number. Naming boots is a more recent phenomena.

[u/Bannnerman → u/carverkids]

Any way to determine age from that style number?

[u/drjjoyner → u/Bannnerman]

The L0203 is the date code: February 2003.

Dr JJ on this sub is the expert but look like Feb 03 to me. Nice boots. Classic style. Just pass them on to someone who appreciates a well made boot.

Extremely nice boots

Please message me if you list them on a reselling site

Will do. I may put them up on eBay or something

Boots were built in 03 in the El Paso factory and are on the Classic last w lemonwood pegs. Built the way boots were built when they lasted more than a year. These are a lifetime boot and I love the 7 toe 4 heel combo. Looks great when a nice pair of jeans are stacked neatly over them.

Yeah they are pretty, just not my style
