You can just see it with White Levis & Weejuns can't you?
8/4/2 crop & a bottle of beer...

Staceyboy, I like the shirt and tie.

With regard to your recent E-bay story, I lost out on a tan G9 on E-Bay a couple years ago in the last bitter moments of the auction. I was rather pissed because like the Weejun, I tend to get rather silly with these online auctions. Anyway, I looked up what other stuff this guy was buying—vintage car parts and vintage Marantz stereo equipment. I came to the conclusion that he was a cooler guy than myself so I didn’t begrudge my competitor’s good luck.

Almost BoO. Well spotted. Both the tie and the shirt came from americanvintageclassics.net. Always prompt service from the guys running that site. I'm dithering over a few other items of their's (and the sister site) at the moment.

REALLY love that tie!

great looking bucks!

That trick with the laces is one to remember.

^ I couldn't tell you but it does look best. I use both this "over/under" style and the old "under/over" (which I prefer), but never straight across "bar lacing".

I worked in a shoe shop for a while and thats the way we used to display shoes!

I particularly like it on a formal shoe such as an Oxford, where I think the crossover style would take away from the style and formality of the shoe.

I'm not against crossover per se, I think it can look  good on shoes, particularly where there may be only 4 or 6 eyelets (that is 2 rows of 2 or 3 rows of 2). Once you start getting into more eyelets I think it can start to look messy! Course all this is subjective.

Can we say that straight is UK & the other is US?

Just interested.

- it don't matter!
