Another fantastic picture, metal flake. It would make a great poster on the wall. What is the source of this image?

This photo originally appeared in John Milward's Silver Anniversary book.

That's a 12 String Acoustic Guitar that Carl is playing. 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!

It looked to me like Brian wore the Beatle-style boot with the zipper up the side. They also appeared to be suede. It looked like he would wear them occasionally up through 1966, maybe into '67.

How can you tell in this photo?   I can't even really see his feet

I was speaking in general terms, not about that particular photo.

Those look like Carl "Howdy" (a.k.a. Clem) Wilson's boots. He wore those sh*t-kickers at the Caribou Ranch in Colorado in 1974.

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

I was just surfing the 'net for images of cats & their famous masters & look what I found:
The V-shape is not extended, dif. ornament, but it's possible the boots are cut in the same factory as those in the OP. Also, isn't it a cute kitten?

Who is Lucille Ball & Vivian Vance Duet Fan Club CEO? Btw, such Club exists?

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??

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.
