What was Booth wearing?

[Rick Smith]

Thanks Rick. That clears that up. I'll pass that on to my two sons so they won't try to find me a tie for Christmas that goes with my red plaid flannel shirt.
(although a solid black tie might work)

I haven't seen boots like you mentioned since the last time I was in downtown Washington DC. A very friendly young lady on the subway had some on like you described. Her boots didn't look very comfortable.

Gene,

You can see one of Booth's riding boots here{made by Lutz of Broadway NYC with Booth's initials inked inside}:
