    Goodyear Weatherproof Clothing

    Had never heard of it. Thanks! And that is a remarkably beautiful illustration. One of the finest I've ever seen used for an ad.

    Goodyear Weatherproof Clothing

    I believe I saw a date for this small catalog of 1921, but I can't find it again. As I suspect some know, Charles Macintosh developed the first widely practical rubberized clothing by impregnating cloth with rubber that had been dissolved in coal-tar naptha. Sometime later Goodyear Rubber...

    Walking Sticks & Canes.

    I applaud your sanity in placing the priority on function. Like you, I am stick dependent, but convinced that hope can overcome experience. I am determined to find effective functional/aesthetic compromises. The net effects of which are that I drop my stick a lot, not finding purposeful straps...

    Hawaiian Shirts - Aloha Shirts

    While it's possible to button the top button of a Tori Richard shirt, I couldn't possibly imagine wearing a tie with it, irrespective of fabric. It's cut, construction and attitude are entirely Alhoa shirt. Nice shirt! :cool:

    Hawaiian Shirts - Aloha Shirts

    Yes, markedly. I'm a dedicated fan of Tori Richard cotton lawn shirts. Cotton Lawn is inherently one of the lightest and coolest of cotton fabrics. In addition, Tori Richard has a proprietary finish they use that adds a measure wrinkle resistance, while actually increasing the wicking...

    I like them. Rugged, casual, comfortable moccasins, but with a serious all weather sole. Should handle light snow, slush and and rough terrain easily.

    rr Herring has provided the best customer service of any on-line European retailer with which I've dealt. They ship via DHL Express, and I've literally received orders within a day or two of ordering them on-line. I've also been pleased with the quality of the shoes they sell, and find that...

    My last acquisition was a pair of house brand tassel loafers from UK retailer Herring. They offer this model in 7 different cow derived hides, plus crup/cordovan. They are modestly priced, but I ended up with a lot more shoe than I expected. I wanted a brown suede pair. They are fully leather...

    Men's Cologne / Men Of ( STYLE ) THE FEDORA LOUNGE What Are You Wearing ?

    But I believe it is an EDT rather than cologne.

    Great pair of loafers! Loake still makes a nice pair of shoes. Pity they prohibit their UK retailers from selling mail order in the U.S. A very handsome last, IMHO. Some wearers of loafers may experience some heel slippage, particularly while they're breaking in. If so, a stick-on tongue pad...

    Great pair of pennies! Loake still make a fine shoe. Too bad they prohibit their UK retailers from selling mail order in the U.S. This is a handsome last, IMHO. Some gents experience a bit of heel slippage when wearing loafers particularly as they're breaking in. If so, a stick-on tongue pad...

    Absolutely magnificent! From the era when America still made fine footwear. Reminds me of a Johnston and Murphy last from when they were one of the finest U.S. makers.

    Respectable modern shoes that could pass...

    Among U.S. makes, Alden makes a high quality authentic traditional American oxford. They aren't recreations, they've never changed. Very solid, of quality materials, though not as finely finished as many European makes. But authentic period lasts. Costly...
