    Well, I think I arrived at my own answer. They are not shell leather. They had such little wear when I got them that creases had not developed - but I wore them Saturday and below shows the result. Still, fairly well-made (they have a better look, feel and 'depth' than corrected grain would)...

    Thanks, Bill! :) That Bostonian logo design has a decidedly '70s feel about it. There was still some high quality merchandise being made in that era and I'll modify my guess to early- to mid-seventies but no later than that.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I had to go back a few pages to see your question. Sorry for the delay. I misted the brim (both sides) with water from a spray bottle and kind of massaged it into the straw to get it flexible. Then, I coaxed the shape into it (more curl up on sides, more drop at rear) while using a hair dryer...

    Ladies, what scents do you like on your men?

    For what it's worth; I wear a variety of fragrances from old Clubman aftershave to Jovan Musk (drug store stuff, I know, but I like it) to Canoe, Aramis, Obsession... no one really ever says they notice one way or the other. It happens, however, that when I wear Hugo Boss my girlfriend tells...

    Seeking your info... I'll photograph them tomorrow but I picked up a pair of brogues today that sure seem like shell cordovan. They seem (to me) way too durable and well, shell-like, to be corrected grain - but I'm still in the learning stages. The thing is that they are labeled, "Stafford"...

    Bill, I'd GUESS '60s. That style has been made, without much deviation, for around ninety years or so, but the tan sock and the apparent quality of construction make me think these are about fifty years old. It's also sometimes helpful to show the logo imprints inside the shoe and sole/heel...

    Glad to see other people posting shoe pix. I'm not going to slow down with my contributions no matter what, but it's better when there's more participation in a thread. :D ---------------- Here's my latest pick-ups (to be sold at some point): Florsheim Dress Oxfords: ('60s???? [huh] )...

    Stetson Stuff

    That 'Regatta' is sure close the the 'Privateer'. Is that some stitching around the brim edge? That would be the only difference I can see. PRIVATEER:

    Vintage Spade Sole Shoes

    Yeah, Benny, those Crosbys are BUILT. Fantastic looking! You must be thrilled. And the only thing better than the fact that they are NOS is that you are actually wearing them as they were intended. Good for you! :eusa_clap
