These are by far the best offering from what I've seen of any collaboration with Mark McNairy. As you already know, Desert boots were worn by British soldiers. These are Made in england using the same manufacturing that the British Army used in 1940's. Loden Green suede and gum sole. The Churchill boot is made of pebble grain leather, combined with a vibram walking sole make for a military look with city comfort. I have never seen a tonal sadle shoe before. looks great with McNairys classic red brick sole. L.L. Buck in camel brown suede w/ metal eyelets and a Vibram unit sole.
REST STORE MADE WITH REST
The other day, as I was exiting The Garment Center with Tony of Dockers; I had the pleasure of running into David Mullen of Save Khaki. These gents hit it off right away with jargon of denims & twills. Aside from both of them being great guys on and off the field; I really like their choice of footwear. On David, Florsheim Wingtip Imperial (one of my favorite shoes of ALL time) and the Alden Indy Boot on Tony. These 2 shoes can and should replace most of these idiots out there who just found hardbottoms. Yup, all them ebay and 2nd hand store purchases should be returned to the shelf they were found on. Invest in some new shoes! The joints you bought need new heels, and the leather inside is probably corroded too. So before you squeeze into your girlfriends jeans the next time you ‘get dressed’, throw away your ‘new purchase’ and wear her flip flops instead. Those 1980’s ballys and stacy adams were donated or listed for a reason. If they were no longer good enough for that guy to wear to church or synagogue, what makes you think they’re good enough for you to walk around in all day!
Indy boot for all the them varvatos rocker types (you know who you are, you may not be wearing JV infact, but youre wearing an 8th st or local mall version of it! take your pants out the boot too! if thy look tucked, theyre too skinny kids!
Florsheim Wingtip Imperial for all men who want to be wearing hard bottoms! I mean, go trickers if youve got the $, but these kids coming from williamsburg in these cheap burgandy colored ‘dress’ shoes should be ashamed of themselves. I almost want to buy them all to save the kids.
Take note: a fedora and a bowler worn correctly, and not on the back of the head like pete doherty did (now all the hip kids in all the villages are copying). Some folks wear hats and some hats just wear the person… These kids are kiling it. daytime on the streets of Paris, why not. Thank you for stopping.
I mean, if you're gonna tuck- at least look tough like this guy. Love the open buckle !
Ive gone with 8 inch and 6, but Ive held off on these.. I think Im ready for them. There's a certain buyer/collector I always see in them, always with great argyle or ragwool socks
That is a separate piece, damn, find me a set !!!
These are the same dealers feet, different shoes & flea markets a year apart
