    Shoelaces

    I think I know what Marc means If Florshiem refer to these as waxed, I can understand Marc's chagrin.The shoelaces that come with the higher end Florshiem shoes are hard to keep tied. I'll check the Florshiem store in Melbourne (around the corner from my office) tomorrow. Perhaps there is a...

    Shoelaces

    Wow.... Cookie, do you mean laces with actual sticky wax in them, or the polished shiny ones (that I have bought in Florshiem stores before). Perhaps I'm not using the correct terminology here:eusa_doh: Talbot

    Shoelaces

    I can see a 'Why I hate wax shoelaces so much' thread coming up:) Having said that, I'll probably trip on them tonight and go sprawling:rolleyes: These shoelaces are quite sticky. I find the shiny polished cotton shoelaces absolutely confounding - refuse to stay tied. Marc, you are...

    Shoelaces

    Funny.... thats the exact opposite of my experience Marc. I would have wondered if it was a climate thing, but Victoria and California are pretty similar in temperature. I can't keep shopelaces tied, and even my double knots become undone sometimes. I would have made a lousy boy scout...

    Shoelaces

    Waxed Shoelaces All, did a search but found nothing (mods if this is a duplicate post pls move or delete). I recently scored a nice pair of vintage black wingtips that were fitted with thin flat shoelaces that are approx 1/8 inch wide and are waxed. I have never seen this before, and I...

    The "Blue Blazer".

    Pewter or tarnished silver buttons look great on a reefer jacket. Good choice.

    Burberry(s) check query

    I did a search, but didn't find anything. If this is a duplication, my apols to the mods. We recently acquired a womans vintage gabardine Burberry raincoat from a well travelled, but now elderly, relative. The coat was probably purchased in London in the 60's as I know she lived there for a...

    Susan Boyle/Fan Club/Cry Me a River

    Good luck to her, she has a beautiful voice. I would have hated to be the performer that had the unfortunate task of coming on after her. I don't know why people go to these shows - seem like they are keen on some ritual humiliation, which thankfully did not occur in this case. I don't...

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    Those manual alarms... I have a LeCoultre alarm watch. I learned the hard way that you can not turn the alarm off untill it runs down. I was presenting at a conference at the time. Yes, they are loud:o Nice items by the way!

    Much ado about "DOO-WOP"

    Try some Irma Thomas. Her original version of 'Time is on my side' is incredible. It always amazes me how British groups could take so much soul out of a song. Listen to Bessie Banks version of 'You've got to go now'. Apols, rant over, normal programming can resume. :) Talbot
