^ I did not know that Krantz sold shoes and I used to be up and down Drury Lane all the time.

Re: Ivy League style for today
Krantz has sold AE for a long time as noted above, but strangely never Leeds or Macneil, perhaps the most definitively 'Ivy' of models in the AE catalogue. A cobbler on Upper Street and one in Highbury Grove also sold exactly the same Edmonds models. All supplied by one salesperson perhaps.
The AE Preston is an interesting shoe for the European market: a non-strap hand-sewn moccasin which used to be made in unusually high quality calf. The last pair I saw in John Rushton's were of the brush-off Burgundy variety sadly. A shame as they were a sharp halfway house between a Weejun and a Florsheim Yuma.

Yes, as Russell says mine are from JS. Two years old now but still looking good. I often struggle with a lot of AE models, which look very staid to my eyes, but will have to check out Krantz all the same.
The Florsheim are from JS too. Thanks for the nice comments, guys. The trousers worn with the Florsheims are actually M&S Autograph tiny dogtooth check.
Love the playboy look and the brown boots.

^ You might fit in flogging wine across the road at the annual wine fair in the business centre, but the Brit salesmen there do not usually have a waistcoat. Lots of antipodeans and Euros as well flogging their own stuff and they often wear polo shirts.

There's a bit more to it than that, I suspect, Tony. I've noticed the phenomenon in English literature across the twentieth century.
Weejun, this lawyer chap sounds brilliant. Have a title for the play?
