Title: I need help identifying some Brian Wilson boots Post by: joshferrell on January 24, 2015, 07:08:28 PM I wonder if this brand of boots were ever worn by Brian himself? or even Boots that are similar...Thanks

It would make a great poster on the wall. What is the source of this image?

Could it be the one used for recording "Then I Kissed Her"? It would of been cool to hear the boys playing during this photo, but we will never know!

They also appeared to be suede. It looked like he would wear them occasionally up through 1966, maybe into '67.

I can't even really see his feet Title: Re: I need help identifying some Brian Wilson boots Post by: Gerry on January 25, 2015, 08:52:45 PM I was speaking in general terms, not about that particular photo.

Also, isn't it a cute kitten? Title: Re: I need help identifying some Brian Wilson boots Post by: Mikie on January 25, 2015, 09:29:37 PM Also, isn't it a cute kitten? She sure is. I useta have a crush on Michelle Phillips. Title: Re: I need help identifying some Brian Wilson boots Post by: RangeRoverA1 on January 25, 2015, 09:38:26 PM Um, I meant the actual kitten she holds.
Title: Re: I need help identifying some Brian Wilson boots Post by: Mikie on January 25, 2015, 09:42:18 PM Oh. Yeah. Sure.
Title: Re: I need help identifying some Brian Wilson boots Post by: Don Malcolm on January 26, 2015, 08:39:27 AM Looking at that photo of the Boys, I'm not sure Brian is wearing any shoes at all... I think he's in his stocking feet! An unwitting premonition of the bedroom years??
Title: Re: I need help identifying some Brian Wilson boots Post by: LeeDempsey on January 26, 2015, 12:38:37 PM That photo has fascinated me since the first time I saw it in Milward's book. AGD, based visible traits (haircuts; Brian's weight; Mike without a beard), what date would you put on it? And are those suits from Nudie's Rodeo Tailor? That was my initial thought, but they are rather tame by Nudie's standards.
