Vintage Pair of Black Hunting / Riding Boots.
A pair of English leather Hunt or Top boots with their original beech wood trees. The black hunting boots with 'Mahogany' tops (tan cuff) are in good condition, the trees are also in good condition.
Hunt or Top Boots are the foot wear most people associate with hunting attire. These are typically worn when the formal hunt season opens and are worn by the Hunt Master and Hunt Staff. The boots are worn with the scarlet or red coats (also known as hunting 'Pink'). The red coats are worn so the hunt officials can be seen from a distance. Gentlemen wearing the hunting pink also wear white breeches with the hunt boots, top hat or grey hunting cap.
Top boots with black patent leather tops or mahogany tops are also correct if one is wearing a top hat and a black coat.
The boot measures 46 cm from bottom of heel to the top of the leather trim.
From heel to toe (sole) it is 29½ cm, at the widest part on the sole the measurement is 10½ cm.
Approximate external circumference size at calf 39 cm.
US size unknown.
