I have to endorse the Du Barry's.
All the gay men wear them.
LOL
I'm starting to like the idea of the Dubarry's. As I am 53, am I old enough to qualify as being slightly eccentric, rather than gay? Haha.
My enthusiasm for wearing rubber boots was certainly viewed as eccentric over the last 10 years when I was living on the Canadian prairies. I think the proper choice was supposed to be between deer hunting boots and waders. Because my old ones were green, it was absolutely clear I wasn't a farmer. The local farmers supply stores only sell black with red trim. And my hunting companions just knew I was a bit "off". Both the boots and the lack of a camo painted semi-auto made sure of that. They sure liked the smoked oysters and cheese when we stopped for a snack, though!
