Here are pics before sending to my cobbler.
Here are pics after picking them up yesterday.
These vintage shoes are NOS. If you look carefully they are same size shoes that are different.
These gorgeous shoes I picked up from Georges Shoe and Repair yesterday. The heels needed replacing and I had sole protectors glued on to protect them from gentle wearing. Excellent work by the cobbler.
A bit of Collonil 1912 conditioner, Saphire Mirror Gloss and serious brushing were all done this morning.
Let the escapades start!
Thanks for allowing to share with you my NOS shoes. Cheers, Eric -
Some black, leather soled tassel loafers to arrive soon...
When we toured Scotland way back preCovid we saw ALL Things Harris Tweed....not just clothing but purses, wallets, flasks, water bottles....etc etc. with the tweed inlays. But they are missing here....someone needs to come out with a line of shoes with Harris Tweed inserts. Hell, I would buy a pair. Nice looking shoes ya got!
Thank you for your kind compliment. Can I look forward to seeing you wearing the kilt sometime soon? In Harris Tweed of course, as well as: a "Made in Scotland" label.
My grail souvenir from Scotland was to be a bolt of tweed to have a bespoke jacket made once I got home. Could not find a tweed I was happy with even on Isle of Harris...but in a shop in Dornach I bought a beautiful.....don't hate me.....Yorkshire tweed. It is a mix of light lavender and bracken brown that captures the colours of the Highland landscape perfectly.....it just happens to NOT be Scottish woven. I passed on the kilt
Yorkshire Tweed, isn't it just the way? You must have tasted a wee dram or two whilst in the home of Scotch Whisky, how I savour and enjoy such delight, like an angel crying on my tongue. So why am I so enamoured with that, ugh, ghastly American concoction called Jack Daniels? Because it's so very good, that's why. Much the same as Yorkshire tweed, if it's good, it's good, no matter where it's origin.
I know that brands like Cheaney and Herring make leather/tweed shoes but unfortunately not a Harris tweed:
Fred Perry as well, but yeah as you said not what the OP is looking for!Nike did a Harris Tweed series but i think Air Forces are not what you are particularily looking for, maybe they might do well as an investment though…
My thought about Harris Tweed when touring Scotland: like the hot sauce they put that shit on everything.....but in my travels did not see a pair of shoes with Harris tweed inserts.....now that I might have purchased.
