Zych,
These boots are definitely Krylon #1024 Metallic finish (good ol' mexican chrome) I use the same brand on my 1950's Walt King Lion props. Looks like the Tiger whisperer went "el cheapo" on the hair color though, thats not the same nice n easy 99 my wife uses.
Capt. or what every your rank is now,
Be respectful. Those boots were one of three pair that Pat Anthony had made for me in Mexico when he and I were there in 1975. Silver, White, and Blue. Pat's the first trainer I know that had the stones to wear white boot's, and more then enough machismo to make them look great. Each pair, custom measured, zipper in the side, made out of bullhide for just over 50.00 a pair. Less then you pay for your rubber Wellington's now. Tell me it wasn't better in the old day's, youngster!!!!

When you're alone
and life is making you lonely
you can always go downtown.
***There is something very downtown about this photo and I just can't put my finger on it.*** or anything else.
Wade -- i can't even find the thread with all the white tiger info, but i wanted to let you know how much we all learned about a species so few people know anything about. your White Tiger 101 was informative and interesting and hopefully will be a lot of help to animal researchers in the future. thank you for a job well done. (and i noticed that you have good taste in your childhood idols!)
Henry Edgar,
Which childhood idol Henry? Marlin Perkins or Roy Rogers? LOL

Henry Edgar,
I couldn't find it either. I just emailed you a copy. Enjoy. Many people did, according to the responses I received.
Your friend,
Wade Burck
