Ahoy there Richard B....They come up pretty big..weird sizing apparently  - Made in Spain but just a "10" on mine..no mention of a bit of continental there?

Historically I've been a US 11/10.5 on Bass, Florsheim, Lormoc/Sebago so a UK10.5/10 and the Paraboot's seem on a par with a US 11 at least..

Got mine from JS but I've seen them in Fifth Avenue Shoes, just along Goodge St in Town so wonder if they have more info with theirs?

http://fifthavenueshoerepairs.com/

For those of you not familiar with this place they have a decent range of shoes as well as being a very decent repair outlet...

Their current Paraboot loafers are also cheaper than JS at the mo by a fair few notes...

I'd say they're quite a classy item Sir...I've not even been arsed to remove their little green label as yet either...

Thanks for the heads up. Cheers. I'll have a snoop at the weekend I think.

Inspired by yesterday's muffy pics, I took a little morning stroll down the shore.




Also channeling JC on the set of Rosemary's Baby.... I can't find that pic, Liam, where was it?

Thanks Jimmy. I'm now wearing blue jeans as it looks like I inadvertently brushed against a pile of seagul shit on my way.. Oh well, hi ho, still feeling quite merry today!

Yes, it's the one I bought from Zach. A better pic from Newton Street Vintage:

some great stuff lately! the Woolster has a wonderful modern look.

He could have been at home anywhere in the world, and his style would have never looked outlandish throughout the last 50 or 60 years.

...and I can hardly repress my crush on George...

Although he seems to be jealous when I'm flirting with Uncle, Andy or Macabee sometimes...

I'm wearing a red checked Bauer Madras shirt, a white tee, a navy surcingle, stone needlecord 5-pockets and Desert Boots today, yesterday I think it was something similar with a green polo shirt and camp mocs.

I'm looking forward to Germany vs Italy tonight...

I had an espresso this morning but I'm gonna have a beer tonight.

I'll be amazed if it isn't a Spain v Germany final.

we'll see...

So far Italy was always the stronger team.

Whatever the score tonight you won't see me driving honking through the night time streets!

It is absolutely unbearable here in London. Typing this is making me sweat.

Wayfarers, white tee, patch madras and vans. 28 in LDN apparently. Insane!

Similar today:





The olive (new Gant Rugger) shirt jacket in the morning (now it's sweating hot), the flat cap (Kangol) and the shades for later when the sun came through. Have to protect my beginning baldness...

Had my eye on the Beach Boys style Gant shirt since it went on their site, so snapped it up in the sale.
Love it, really light weight cotton, looks cracking with cords, chinos, 5 pockets and denims.

Alban faded denim and F-Troup stipe canvas playboy-esq shoe

That's a great shirt, Tom!

I've got a vintage Sero cottage cloth just like it in washed blue and white.

Where'd you get that one and is it still avail?

It's from the Gant Rugger range Oliver. Must be available state side, if not, can sort you out from this side if need be.

I know a couple of tother chaps who have bought it too!!! We could be a barber shop quartet!

Saw these when senorservor linked to them recently. I didn't pull the trigger then. After seeing how good they looked on Tom I went back today. Unavailable, sold out. He who hesitates is lost.
