Pretty freakilicious, ain't they? I am leaning toward tinted prescription lenses still. Green tinted. We'll see ... I also have some Ronsir Shurons coming in, so I have some choices to make. I have never seen a single person with octagon glasses in my life (in memory, at least) ...

Oh yeah, green tinted, I should have thought of that. They're going to turn heads, pal!

Trickers `gunboats'.

Drive an hour in heavy traffic and picked up this great pair of Trickers `gunboats'. Soles are surprisingly flexible on first wear. l intend to wear these alot as muck around shoos and for lots of walking. l really like the fit.





l'll give them a good polish tommorrow and try to bring them up real nice.

l've always been proud of my big fat gunboats.

Regards: The Shooman.

A pair of Santoni Handmade (tan sock).

l was gonna be an idiot and buy a pair of brown Gucci captoes and a pair of over priced Moreschi loafers, but l held true to Santoni.

Shooman, can the black crap be taken off? I mean on the toes. If so, with what?

Ok I'm confused about the term "gunboat". You or someone else used it in another thread when referring to what I thought were "wingtips" (like in your avatar). When you use the term "gunboats" for a shoe, what exactly is it? A particular brand? Googling it only brings up the literal, armed warships.

Gunboats are not just double sole shoes. Gunboats = large double sole shoo-monsters with very broad 360 degree welting (usually wingtips, but can be other shoos too).

l really like the black at the end of the toes. Yes, it can be taken off because it's a crust leather. Maybe a neutral wax (lots of rubbing under pressure) or some alcohol would take it off.

These came in the mail today.

Three silk Hawiian shirts and this very reasonably priced Panama.

And in today's weather, it's 38º F and the wind is blowing snow and shingles off my roof with 40-mph gusts.

And now back to your regularly scheduled browsing.

l just wanted to get three pics on the one page.

Shoos again gents!

Trickers monsters again.






Trickers do some of the best double sole shoos (they make some of the biggest). Consider them gents.

I picked up this Diamond Point Bowtie while out thrifting on Friday, I think likely late 40's or 50's, cost me all of sixty-cents. I love these treasure finds!

 

[AlanC]

Just picked this up. The cuffs are single cuffs but require links.

Tre cool Johnny. I'm envious -- we have no thrift stores chocked full of vintage goodness around here.

Very nice Alan. Is it new or previously enjoyed?

Previously enjoyed, but not as much as I will.

Great bowtie, Johnny.
