Pictures of My Grandfathers Sears Mens Furnishings

[MisterGrey]

It's funny because everything we wore growing up was purchased at Sears. I remember my Grandfather said, "know one wore dungarees but peopple that were doing work. Now I realize he meant "Levi's".
That said, I observe in my fathers High School Yearbooks, people were wearing slacks to school in 1960.

As recently as my Freshman year of college, Sears was one of my go-to stores for great shirts, ties, and casual wear. They had some really great stuff that was unique and long-wearing (my personal favorite- white striped tone-on-tone dress shirts). Then their prices began to go up while the quality stayed the same or diminished and became more and more generic. Meanwhile, JC Penny started to come out with some really nice stuff for the same price Sears had been selling years before. About a month ago I decided to go back to Sears and see if maybe anything had changed in the face of the economic shakeup. If anything, it'd gotten worse. Broadcloth shirts on clearance for $30+? Maybe at Macy's...

My daughter saw them tonight for the first time. She said, that is the hot look in shoes. She explained inset panels are the rage.

Uh-oh...

Sears just closed down her a few months back, makes me wonder how they stayed open this long when I hear stories like that.

Should I clean the shoes and leave them, clean and polish or nothing?
