Thanks, they are indeed beautiful and even better looking in person! Not sure if they are shell... can't remember if it was only the Imperial that was shell, so I have priced it accordingly :)
These are brand new, never even laced! My grandfather bought these in the early 80's prior to the Florsheim bankruptcy and shift to production overseas.
Size is 9.5E. Sorry, only one picture for now... having trouble uploading them. I will post more pictures later today.
$80 shipped CONUS.
I have 2 hat blanks that I bought and wanted to be made into hats. Unfortunately I got a lay off notice earlier this month so I need to let these go.
The green one is a nice dark rich green. Super soft felt; would make a beautiful hat. Picked up some soiling over the years around the...
Fatboy... my favorite DE! Sold mine off a little while back as I found myself just using straights; couldn't let such a fine razor just sit on a shelf!

...including a winemaking apparatus complete with grapes and three human heads preserved in jars.
Must have been some wine!! :coffee: :eek:

Still looks new with the leather sweat pliable and the stitching is perfect. Liner is without any stains. Has a nice bound edge with a 1 5/8" stingy brim. 2" ribbon and a nice center dent crease. Ready to wear, needs nothing. $30 shipped CONUS.
Hey folks... anyone else out there with a pair of Chesters and what is your opinion?
I have had this pair for some time now and it is about due for a heel replacement. Overall I have been slightly disappointed with this model. Compared with the other AE shoes I have/had, the finish on this...
No size tag but it measures out to a 40R. It was my grandfathers but unfortunately it is too small for me. It is in excellent condition and freshly dry cleaned. Not looking to make money on this, price is just covering my cost for dry cleaning and shipping.
$15 shipped CONUS.. SOLD!!!
Raining a bit last night. Vintage Borso, rather wet. The back of the hat got the brunt of it but the picture I took didn't turn out well. Did its job well and kept me dry! :D
