Been busy so I let a couple days slip by, then I dropped in to see one heckuva lineup. Well done, ALL of you!! :eusa_clap

Yesterday, me and my Dobbs Fifteen western drying out after being outside during hours of rain:
Ouch.
I bought a vintage pair of French Shriners that already had that type of damage. I took them to my cobbler and he sewed a repair/reinforcing piece of leather inside around the heel area to shore them up. Now, whenever I buy any really oldies I just take them to him to do that first...
Oh, here we go again!...
Hey, Mario, it's your turn to stick up for me, man!! lol lol

No matter what, I love the look and fit -...
For $25 shipped in U.S., I'll part with this. On the one hand, I LOVE THE THING. On the other, I don't have occasion for ties very much so it'll sit hidden in the closet. That'd be a shame since it's so fun!

Thrifted this pair of Nettleton Crocs yesterday. My graphic designer's eye says that the logo looks '50s but I'd like to hear opinions from those who really know. I think these things are wonderful and...
I made sure I was at least holding a hat so I wouldn't be too far off topic, but the point of this post is that I got one of those Pendletons some of you folks are so keen about. They are pretty cool... :)
