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.

US got it so wrong with the Boston Tea Party. All that Sainsbury Red Label chucked over board.

There are some who would see that as a lucky omen. Or is that when a seagull shits on you?

That McKenzie' Hugger is a lovely colour indeed. Is that an olivey colour?

Re: Ivy League style for today

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.

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.

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?

Like it Tom - I love your nonchalant approach to things. A fusion of eras and style that all work.

Just make sure you don't stand outside a barbershop for too long in that shirt !!

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.
