As I have more than ten pairs of Lucchese boots, accumulated over a fifteen year period, I think I am somewhat familiar with the brand. In days gone by, the top of the line was CLASSIC HANDCRAFTED, the middle of the line was 2000, and the entry level was SINCE 1883. Now when I shop for a pair and want the top of the line, if it is not stamped on the sole, CLASSIC HANDCRAFTED, I have to ask a salesman. Even then I get wide ranging answers. Is there some code in the numbering system that will tell me the quality level at a glance? Thank you. Your loyal customer, Troy Pennock

Thanks for that mate ( sorry 'Buddy" haha !)

I have a number of pairs of Lucchese collected over near 30 years.

Many are "Lucchese Handmade" I believe these are the Classic and are stamped so in the shaft . LOVE them all , even the ones that are now "too small"

what that means is there's 20KG more of me than 25 years ago !
