Whitey didn't make boots, but did design boots for a well known bootmaker. One of the larger companies, but I hate to say the name because I'm not positive I'm recalling it correctly?
Whitey was also a very accomplished mechanic, and hotrodder. And retired from a career in the USAF. Every time we talked I learned little things he'd done that came out. Seems there wasn't much he hadn't tried, or done in his life.
He used to trade automotive work for guns, or gun parts when he was younger. But towards the end of his life he had to stop due to his health.
