Just found their slightly rougher twin brother. I tell you, there are some seriously built shoes. The other pair had nailed leather heels, these have replacement cat's paw, but still original soles. So chunky.

When you get some loose change I would have a cobbler clean the welt edges up and they would look pristine. The patina on the top pair is particularly nice.

C&J for Ralph Lauren Double Monks

These cost me a bit but it is very hard to find tan double monks in high quality shoes. In any case they were a lot cheaper than retail:

FlatfootFooey posted a website of German Vintage items called Vecona Vintage.

Apart from having some amazing 30/40s boots like we have seen from Sproily there is a magnificent example of traditional wood pegged (holzgenagelt) shoes on there I would like to post.





One of the interesting things about the traditional European wood pegging process - for attaching the sole and heels - is that in so doing you create (naturally - as a by product of the process) the beautiful 'waist' (bevelled instep) effect much loved by modern high end cordwainers like Gaziano and Girling

Good shoos HarpPlayerGene. Nice trunk too.

Do you really play the Harp? Any good?
Harp, as in Blues Harp or harmonica. Yeah, I can romp around pretty well with any band doing twelve-bar blues or boogie woogie. Great fun.
Interesting. From the first time I saw the name "HarpPlayerGene" I knew you were referring to a harmonica; it never even occurred to me that you might mean a harp.
