McGregor Klopman Fabric Clarks Desert Boots Vintage 1960s Advertisement

Been a bit tardy with post recently due to other commitments, but fear not I've been clipping ads of interest behind the scenes and will be posting some of them over the next week or so.

Take the very excellent The Ivy League Look blog's recent post on the CIA having issues wearing Ivy League style.... ... and the Russian KGB trying to mimic it!

Clarks Loden Green DBs Now in London…NOT!

February 14, 2011 by The Weejun 8 Comments

Sorry false report from Mr Herb Lester I'm afraid - see comments below. Herb is much apologetic, but easy mistake to make - the 'Tobacco Suede' are the colour of loden cloth, whereas the Loden Suede are so dark green as to be almost black. Go figure.

Deadstock Brooks Brothers OCBDs

February 9, 2011 by The Weejun 5 Comments

I recently discovered that for years I'd been buying OCBDs from Brooks Brothers in the wrong size. Too big. I think it all started in the 80s when I was either buying from FLIP (no choice but to fit into what they had on offer) or then later in the decade when picking up some hand me down shirts … [Read more...] about Deadstock Brooks Brothers OCBDs

1960s Deadstock Keith Highlanders Long Wing Brogues

February 3, 2011 by The Weejun 16 Comments

Keith Highlander is one of the lesser known names in the great pantheon of classic American shoemakers. Once a household name, these days it hardly warrants a mention on the tradly forums where Alden is God (and Allen Edmonds a mere disciple). But if you look back in time and see the … [Read more...] about 1960s Deadstock Keith Highlanders Long Wing Brogues

Vintage Ray Ban Shooters

February 1, 2011 by The Weejun Leave a Comment

It's the first day of February, the snowdrops are coming out and we've had the first day of sun this week since the start of the year. Naturally, thoughts turn to preparing for warner weather and what's more indicative of that than a great pair of classic sunglasses.
