Chelsea boot, not Jodhpur.

[StormTroopa]

Hello everyone male, female and all in between. My very first post. I've been in the process of wanting a Stormtrooper outfit since 1978, yes 1978 as Angels costume hire actually hired out original Stormtrooper outfits back them..how the world has changed. £300 deposit was the fee and £30 per weekend if my mem...or..memory serves me correctly. One thing I do know and it's why I'm here, the boots are CHELSEA BOOTS NOT JODHPURS. Argument over. Also known at least in London 'Spock Boots' let the barrage of disagreement begin.

I always thought they were the same, just like coke and pepsi.

Jodhpurs have buckles also or double pull up/on loops, or wavey top lip. Go search it's quite interesting.

Actually no one doubted that part about the chelseas.

The original brand is well known.

Take a look here:

Jodhpurs are accepted and widely used as a cheaper alternative and because the visible part is almost the same ...

 

If you want to go the full mile, these boots are still available and are nearly identic to the originals:

Thanks for the link. Can't wait to get mine painted in ANH style, rough as he'll lol. No brilliant finish for me, total originality is my ocd style. Only reason I posted was the amount of posts youtube clips for Stormtrooper boots nearly always say jodhpurs..so I'd like again in my ocd control freak way to spread the good word..Chelsea.
