Among other things: LL Bean flannel-lined jeans, the new Keith Jarrett solo concerts album, and "How To Read Water" by Tristan Gooley. All of which should keep me happy for a while!
From the missus, I got a pair of Hoggs of Fife Kenmore brogues, the ones in grain leather with Dainite soles. (Well, I ordered them, she stumped up.) Fantastic.
From the kids, I got a vomiting bug on Christmas Eve. Less fantastic, obviously.
I received several groovy t-shirts, a nice pair of shorts, a superfly pair of warm-up pants, a pair of canvas sneakers, a big conch shell, some vintage vinyl from '74, sundries from the West Indian grocery store, and multiple injuries from football at the beach and b-ball at the park with the kids ..... and the team made the playoffs for the first time in eight seasons .....
featured brands were Incontinence pants and Converse .....
great Christmas except I can barely walk at the moment .....
Only notable thing is money, and with that I bought a vintage G9 in khaki.
A nice triple set of Pantharella's from my good lady and a 2 day hangover.
I wish some lady would give me a "triple set of Pantharellas"
There's no way they're gonna' get you socks, in my experience they always like to go for the overly large crew neck jumper by some obscure designer they like. Best to put a stop to all that nonsense early on in the relationship. Do like I do: "I bought this, it was expensive, but I will have it as my Christmas present. Thanks!"
I've had to trade in a few items for sure, she goes for the safer options these days. To be fair she usually gets it right.
Of not; some Burlington socks, Brooks fish eye cardigan and the Jazz Festival book
That's a lovely shirt armchaird. I got socks!!! I also got a lovely Harvey of Scotland Shetland in forest green which was unfortunately too big. This was due to a cockup with the shop it was bought from, they were very kind and refunded the whole amount though but as it didn't fit and because I was feeling kind, I sent it back knowing I may have been able to sell it. Anyhow, Santa bought a Jamiesons Shetland from OiPolloi in the sales. Does anyone know what they are like as in how brushed they are?
That's good to know. Armchaired.
Colin, I've been tempted to pick up some Surgical appliance cortez trainers just like Forest Gump. Not sure how good they are for walking though.
I used to wear that brand-you-don't-name years ago, but the Originals speak to me a little more these days. I should add, when I say walking, I mean around the streets, not hiking up mountain tops....
Colin, they would be terrible for walking. Flat with a plastic sole. Ixnay on that cray.
Go with the samba, Beckenbauer, la trainer. They are all similar, the la trainer being the biggest shoe. That's my thruppence worth....
I wear the swoosh of the shoe that cannot be named and the gull wing of the Tretorn with pride!
