December 19, 2011 by The Weejun Leave a Comment

Perhaps more fitting to the season, careful you don't slip like this fellow from 1965 in Quebec, Duffle coat and Playboys. The Illustrator probably had the same gear at home... … [Read more...] about Baby, It’s Cold Outside…

Seasons Greetings with Seersucker

December 19, 2011 by The Weejun 8 Comments

As always, I'm buying stuff out of season. Duffel coats in August and Seersucker in December. It's not on purpose. It's simply a fact of life that the things we love and search for are not easy to find in our size, good condition, good price etc. The thing is, you need to accept the fact that if you … [Read more...] about Seasons Greetings with Seersucker

Gant – The Hugger – Caravan Striped Oxford – 1968

December 13, 2011 by The Weejun 2 Comments

Clarks Shearling Desert Boots

December 13, 2011 by The Weejun 6 Comments

As much as I live in my Clarks Desert Boots, I have to confess to an ambivalence towards Clarks themselves.

Some Kind of Grail – A 1960s Sack From eBay That Fits

December 12, 2011 by The Weejun 5 Comments

For many years I wore a jacket I picked up in Flip in about 1985. It was the perfect early 60s sack sports coat, in mint condition, raised seams, patch and flap pockets, narrow lapels, hooked vent, two button cuffs, 3/2 roll. Everything. It was a wonderfully dark green herringbone woven from … [Read more...] about Some Kind of Grail – A 1960s Sack From eBay That Fits

Trujuns – The Saturday Shoe

December 12, 2011 by The Weejun 2 Comments

St Louis is the Heartland of the American mass market shoe maker. The Brown Shoe / International Shoe Company dominated the middle market for many years, often with brands and styles that imitated their more traditional New England competitors. So, instead of Weejuns we have Trujuns. But, … [Read more...] about Trujuns – The Saturday Shoe

Eaton Clubman Golden Jubilee! 1958

November 29, 2011 by The Weejun 6 Comments

Now normally, I'm with Herb Lester, in preferring the playboy in a chukka. There's something nice and solid about the feeling of facing the world in a good pair of suede chukka boots. However, these Eaton Clubman shoes look so nice I had to post this vintage 1958 advertisement from the trade … [Read more...] about Eaton Clubman Golden Jubilee! 1958
