History
L. M. Easterling Custom Boot Company ran a small store in Fredericksburg, Texas, with boots built at a five-person shop in El Paso, and was profiled in Joe Nick Patoski's June 2002 Texas Monthly list of Texas bootmakers. Lloyd Easterling, a former president of both Lucchese and Dan Post, ran the company, though the profile does not describe him as the bench maker himself.
The shop's specialty was decorative tops, with pairs starting around $550 and taking six to eight weeks. Clients named in the profile included country singers and rodeo queens.
