Chaplis (or chapplies: Indian sandal thingies)

British bush jackets

Slightly off topic, but...
1940s British Aertex bush jackets (KD & JG) = very expensive, hard to find.
1950 Pattern British Aertex bush jackets (KD & JG) = almost identical, common, dirt cheap.

Go figure.

"Two weeks ago it was 17c and raining, today it is going to be 35c!! was thinking of Sandals and hey presto!!!

I like those Indian sandals but I rather pine for those "Old style Clarks" sandals are they still available?, I have a vague recollection Dr Martin did something similar around 20 years ago?"

I think those are just the sandals I've been looking for - namely, something with a sole that will resist nails, broken glass, etc. And something without velcro.
Are the soles leather or rubber?

Classic English Sandal

I have been digging around to find a pair of "Classic" sandals with a closed toe and heel, with a T bar, Clarks made the ubiquitous sandal in the 1950's, they are frightfully Enid Blyton. The nearest I could find were these, the have a double buckle though."

English 40s Sandals

I kept those snaps from a pair (not my size) from an eBay seller to have copied one day...because he had so many snaps of the detail.

I have been thinking of posting them here one day for y'all to ogle.

I like the type of sandals the little guy wore in "My Family and Other Animals" on Corfu.

 

[BinkieBaumont]

"Hey Up Chook, this doesn't look like Corfu!"

Cookie, they are still available and worn by school kids as we speak. My daughter had a pair. I don't usually get caught up in those things, but I can find details if you like.

I love the scene where Larry sings 'Greensleaves' - family favourite.
