Note the huge flipping shoulders.

That's a wonderful shoulderline on Charles!

It could not get any better!

Lovely jacket!

Great!

On the topic of shoes:

Leer is basically right. Americans call any lace up "Oxford", bucks, sneakers. Anything. This goes to show how language can change over time in different places. The Derby, in British terms, is defined by its bow which goes down to the sole. The terms Blucher and Balmoral originally refered to boot styles, btw...

/\ Great shot of Vince and his killer single-breasted patch-pocket camel polo coat and gray worsted trousers with cuffs, Woolster, thanks. Those ripple-soled shoes he's wearing were the coach's version of the football cleats made by the historic company Riddell, which is still in business.

Maybe you can clear something up from an old thread Stanshall.

Were those ripple soles specifically for use in uneven/loose/soft/slippy conditions?

Thanks S.

It seems obvious what they were good for but when the topic was originally raised we didn't seem to have any US posters who could confirm. I'm glad you can.

Stan the Man does it again.

I liked the ripple soles on the desert boots that was posted some time back (ripple sole thread?) - think they are made by vibram.

fxh · 2013-09-03 03:22:37

Ripple Soled Desert Boots used to be ubiquitous (and everywhere) here in oz at one stage. Naturally known as Brothel Creepers.

They were meant to offer a cushioned platform but were partly popular because they offered a raised platform to many.

They were a bugger to clean if they got mud or especially dogshit caught in the ripples.

I always though brothel creepers were a Teddy Boy shoe?

Liam · 2013-09-03 03:52:57

Cheers Harpo, Tom, fxh.

The thread you're on about is the same one I'm on about. I probably just don't remember it well.

Yeah, bit like that fxh - but with the slimmer Clarks style upper. Brother Creepers are the George Cox creeper, the name comes from the name of the shoe.
