JODHPUR

This style, designed many years ago by JOHN LOBB for the late ruler of the state whose name it bears, differs from the "Jodhpore" of general manufacture in its method of fastening, laces being used instead of ankle straps. In practice this gives a neat fitting round the ankle, the trouser is enabled to drop closely over the top of the boot and there are no straps or buckles to interfere with the stirrup leather. Great distinction is leant to this smart but comfortable riding boot when made of highly polished Russia Calf, as in the photograph (Willow or Analine Calf is used these days).

The compact three-piece tree can be made solid or hollowed as desired.
