The Devil Wears… Bass Weejuns?

The ‘New’ Weejun Dover. Dump It Off the White Cliffs, I Say. This blog is supposed to be a positive celebration of Americana but this week there’s been a bit of a negative tone about where some of the classic US brands are today. It’s not really my place to have a dig at these… Continue reading The Devil Wears… Bass Weejuns?

Shoes I Have Loved: Vintage Bass Weejuns 2 Tie Moccasins

Back in 2000 I was sent on a mission to LA on behalf of well known TV company to talk to Warner Bros about why they didn’t really need to buy into Warner’s own version of the internet, called Entertaindom, instead of using the real internet for free. Strange but true. Anyway the point is… Continue reading Shoes I Have Loved: Vintage Bass Weejuns 2 Tie Moccasins

What’s Wrong Old Bean? LL Ain’t What It Used To Be

Yesterday’s post of some wonderful vintage LL Bean hunting gear from a LIFE magazine feature in 1941, led to The Weejun being followed on Twitter by LL Bean’s Head of PR. This set to me to thinking about bringing forward a piece I’ve been planning since first starting The Weejun, and that is the evolution… Continue reading What’s Wrong Old Bean?

L.L Bean – Hunting Gear from 1941

Whatever you think of the mumsy style of LL Bean these days and the self-butchering of their own heritage, once upon a time it was about as hard core as you could get if you wanted a spot of upland hunting. This photo series appeared in LIFE magazine in 1941. Some elements are still available… Continue reading L.L Bean – Hunting Gear from 1941

What’s The Weejun Buying on Ebay? Florsheim Imperials!

Last night I lost an auction for a pair of vintage Weejuns that I’d been watching for ten days. The seller had agreed to ship to the UK, which was very nice of him, but at the last second when my bid went in I got an error message from Ebay saying seller hadn’t selected… Continue reading What’s The Weejun Buying on Ebay?

New Series Over many years there have been certain movies, record covers, or just stills that have captured the essence of a look that has inspired the Weejun towards a better wardrobe.

The Hathaway Shirts Eye Patch Gent

In amongst the batch of vintage new old stock button down shirts I received from the USA earlier this week were two identical Hathaway  white button downs from the 1960s. As well as the fact that unlike almost every other manufacturer of Brooks knock off oxford shirts, these have no placket on the front. I… Continue reading The Hathaway Shirts Eye Patch Gent

Two Tone Weejuns Set For A Comeback. Queue Here…

Found this interesting post on the blog www.hyrcollective.com about Bass teaming up with Opening Ceremony. Some of the Jo Boxer style saddle boots are a bit too frankenstein for my taste, but two tone weejuns… very nice, although for me brown and white/cream would be the one. Or Scotch grain, or calf with nubuck vamp.… Continue reading Two Tone Weejuns Set For A Comeback. Queue Here…
