Good stuff Weejun. I like this kind of thing, alot. Especially topped off with the Wool G9. Perfect under the radar Americana. The kids wouldn't get it at all, that's why it's perfecr. Also, seeing those Weejuns makes me realize how terrible my modern tan Logans are by comparison.

thanks Scarlet Street. even the sizing of these plastic plug heel models is different to later Wilton made ones. These are supposed to be 10.5D but really are a US 11E, compounded by the fact that the leather is thick but very supple.
Compared to my size 10 mid 80s Wiltons they are nearly 1 inch longer.
However, having found these babies, some thicker socks and some insoles should do the trick.
I nearly bought those tan Logans on so many occasions but there was always something not quite as I remembered my old natural ones and it's that these have all natural stitching and un-dyed sole / heel edges whereas the Logan has a dark sole and mixed stitching. Those modern Logans are still way better than the brush off ones though...
It's all good. Mention of Martin Crane is timely. I've always thought of him as something of a totem of what it used to say on the JS brown bag:
"Traditional American Clothing."

I'm always in awe of Martin Crane's collection of plaid button downs!

^i should be much more acgtive on the pm front. i'm following evilbay closely though,
Exactly Moose, it takes focus, stamina and a bit of luck.
And perhaps a job involving computer "work".
A tendency towards obssessive compulsive disorder also helps I find.
