Yep, an original pair of new old stock navy blue Weejuns. The smell is akin to that of an old leather-bound book. You're right- I'd never give them up, now that I have a pair.

I see some body wash (High Endurance no less) – bathing is good, some even say ‘cleanliness is next to godliness’ but in your case I’m not sure I’d go that far. Is that a bottle of juice? - probably a mixer for gin etc. <br /><br />And then there is the STP oil treatment. There are several schools of thought swimming through my brain: hair tonic until you get a proper haircut, ersatz cooking oil (this is the south after all) or maybe the Saab just needs a drink. Multiple choices and there are no wrong answers. A win-win situation.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10845757688839404825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818519199109196200.post-88422674448050731792010-09-30T17:39:13.010-04:002010-09-30T17:39:13.010-04:00Stop waiting for green things and start filling yo...Stop waiting for green things and start filling your life with them - you have no idea what you've been missing.

I bought myself a pair of the blue loafers the day after the Tom spotting. I love 'em, even as they're lined and the sole is a bit thicker than I'm used to. They're a little wider in the midfoot than my Alden for BB loafs so you don't quite get that super fine fit, but, hell, blue loafers, babe. I love 'em.oldominionnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818519199109196200.post-89290737024712372812010-09-30T15:03:52.518-04:002010-09-30T15:03:52.518-04:00That's quite the grocery combo you have there!...That's quite the grocery combo you have there!

Although I am a fiend for Alden shell and calfskin full strap pennies for everyday wear, there's nothing like a well-worn but metriculously maintained pair of Bass pennies to burnish an Old School look. consisting of a horseblanket 3B sack sportcoat, floodwater cords or khakis OCBB with a club tie or perhaps a bow!<br /><br />I dug out an American made burgundy pai from its orginal box that I took to duLac as a freshman in 1977 that I am wearing them presently. <br /><br />Also have a pair of black and a pair of brown pennies both made in the USA with original soles and heels that I bought in 1982. Probably have put at total of 20 miles on each knowing that they would become as amost rate as a 1963 Aston Martin DB5. Unfortunately lost a pair of rare Scotch grains to our Lab four years ago when he was a pup. But then again, he benefitTed from some fine dining!<br /><br />Thanks for resurrecting the visibility of these great Ameican classicsoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978319908136474833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818519199109196200.post-65020104680075883872010-09-30T11:33:26.350-04:002010-09-30T11:33:26.350-04:00All well and good but I was not *quite* ready for ...All well and good but I was not *quite* ready for hairy ankles this morning.
