Vintage Spectator Shoes

[Mario]

You guys never cease to amaze me with those great finds of yours. For some reason it seems to be bordering on the impossible to find vintage shoes like that here in Germany. [huh]

Hey Shooman! Those are really something, and I dig those springy gadgets, too.

Is there anyone on this thread who knows where a man can buy some Edwin Clapp or Footjoy shoes? Thanks a mint, in advance.

Mr. Flowers: may I ask where you purchased the grey fedora in your picture. A fantastic look. I have a number of Dobb Hunter Mountains and Knox(es) left from the glory days of the late 50s and early 60s. However, I'm actually afraid to purchase online. There are two Hats in the Belry stores in the Washington, DC area, but they are highway robbers, in my opinion, when it comes to purchases. Again, your hat is the stuff. Thanks in advance.

Cookie here in Australia, is your man, he sold me an Edwin Clapp pair of , spade soled shoes

Thanks a mint. I just learned that there is a place in Silver Spring Maryland named "Andreas Fine Hats" that has a guy come in every 1st Saturday. He is suppose to be able to get many of the old styles made. I will go there on the 1st Saturday of next month. Also, I spoke with the people at Allen Edmonds about the "Spectator". The guys didn't even know what I was talking about. So much for their customer service department. There was so much interest tha shoe, it may be in their interest to gear up and manufacture the shoe again. Thanks again. The Esquire

How can I be in touch with Cookie, in Australia?

 

[BinkieBaumont]

I'm sure he will read this and contact you if he has anything available

 

[Esquire]

Thanks a mint. It's been a pleasure.

eBay. FootJoy no longer makes regular shoes in America I believe. Clapp is extinct.

Are these spectators or just two tone longwings?

Love the perforations on these. How old do you suppose? The box is throwing me.

Dinerman, those could be part of the 30's style fad of the 1970's. Regardless, they look great!
