Tony Lama Style 4120 Vintage Exotic Leather Cowboy Boots

This pair of vintage Tony Lama Style 4120 cowboy boots features a striking combination of exotic and traditional leathers. The vamps are constructed from high-quality sea turtle skin (pre-ban) or a very convincing imitation, characterized by a distinct, large-scale hexagonal pebbled texture in a deep cognac brown. The shafts are crafted from supple dark chocolate brown leather, extensively decorated with intricate white and cream multi-row decorative stitching in a bold geometric 'jagged' or cactus-inspired pattern. The boots feature a classic pointed J-toe silhouette and a stacked leather undershot walking heel. Each boot is finished with leather pull straps at the collar for ease of wear. The interior is lined with smooth mustard-yellow leather, showing the quality of mid-century craftsmanship. Condition appears to be well-maintained vintage; there is light creasing at the insteps and ankles consistent with moderate wear, with original factory soles that suggest they have not been heavily used. The stitching remains tight and vibrant throughout, and the exotic hide retains a healthy luster without significant drying or scale lifting. These 1970s-era El Paso-made boots represent the peak of Tony Lama's premium domestic production.
