About the BFG

We partnered with legendary Texas rock ‘n’ roller, hot-rodder and beard-grower Billy F Gibbons to co-design these limited-edition BFG boots. As a Texas icon who has helped show the world what our home state is all about for more than 50 years, we couldn’t think of a better partner for our first design collaboration.

Much like Billy, the BFG boot has a signature look and a vibe all its own. It’s a cowboy boot that’s not just for cowboys. A boot that makes a statement whether you’re a rocker or a CPA. A boot that took inspiration from Billy’s love of cars, guitars and making music. And like all Alvies boots, it’s designed to break in fast and built to last.

Designed with Billy F Gibbons

Billy himself was involved in every step of the design process, ensuring these boots have a heavy dose of his signature style.

Pinstripe Stitching

The shaft and toe bug stitching are inspired by the West Coast hotrod and motorcycle pinstriping style of Von Dutch, Dean Jeffries and Big Daddy Roth.

The Pickpocket (with picks)

You don’t have to be a world-famous guitarist to know picks never stay put. The pull strap of each BFG boot has a spot to store a backup, pre-loaded with a couple custom BFG picks.

Giving Back to Save Stages
