This is a stunning pair of deadstock Keith Highlan

This is a stunning pair of deadstock Keith Highlanders long wing brogues. Keith was also the maker behind WalkOver back in the day.

Imagine my surprise when I saw these images on the website of then recently opened ivy boutique in Seoul!

Well then you can imagine the reaction of the owner of that store when I turned up in person and explained through a shop assistant that these were my shoes and I was in fact The Weejun!

@barbershop_co is a great store and I bought a really nice knitted tie while I was there. Of course most of the items I could buy in London back then but over the years owner @renton1007 has consistently ordered really great products that are almost always nicer or more authentic than those sold this side of the world.

These longwings came to a very sad end. Moving to Lisbon I had no idea how insanely humid the city is because although it rarely if ever rains the river imparts massive humidity.

After the first winter when I pulled the shoes out of their box they were literally green with mold. Inside and out. Normally some days outside in strong sunlight would be enough to cure the mold issue but the following winter they'd infected other shoes in the cupboard. So they had to go to save the rest.

From that time on I have three semi industrial dehumidifiers running 24/7 and that has fixed the humidity problem.

Shame as they were such a great shoe.

Re watching John Frankenheimer's Seconds a few day

Re watching John Frankenheimer's Seconds a few days ago. Always look forward to the part where Rock is meandering on Malibu beach in his Baracuta G9. The classic billowy one.

RIP Button Down Bob. For the last few months I've

RIP Button Down Bob. For the last few months I've been rewatching the Newhart show from the 80s. They used to show it when it was current on Southern TV very late at night and I would watch for contemporary ivy LL Bean

Still have these somewhere. Maybe if I ever move from Lisbon I can wear them.

What is there to say about 60 odd Porsche 356s outside the Casino at Estoril?
Including half a dozen Speedsters!
