Two pair of Bamford and Sons flannel trousers.
Pair of Alden gunboats, calf with double waterloc sole.
Pair of Barker Black wholecuts in dark brown.
Couple of slim fit oxford cloth shirts from Bergdorf.
Black leather jacket from local Triumph dealer.
I got my MTM Vass Alt Wien today too. I'll post pics in the gunboat thread later.
Those Vass are badass Shooman, what last is that?
Bought three pairs of trousers from Billy Reid in Houston, as well as 2 bows and a necktie, same place.
Two no-name rose bushes; a plant of Russian Basil; a perlogonium and a geranium.
A charcoal Black Fleece striped tie -- nice and dull, though kind of narrow.
Two Black Fleece white OCBD shirts with french cuffs -- weird sort of things, admittedly. Might end up wearing them with the sleeves rolled up as often as not. Cheap buggers only included one silk knot per shirt -- at least I managed a pair between the two shirts ...

Nice to know they went to someone who appreciates them (aka Shooey) and made my renovation project so worthwhile. Thanks for the technical specs mate. I thought that spades were an item missing from the Shoo Cupboard....hence my double motive...
"it is very unusual in that the slip sole does not go all the way through the shoo. There is only the midsole under the quarters and vamp of the shoo, and a thick outsole under the waist directly attached to the welt. WOW. lt would make doing a resole very very difficult."
Point is ...you never have to have them resoled. I have a cobbler in Sydney who fitted a topy to the heel and sole of my spades as they had hobnail suicide heels and slippery soles for Sydney streets. He uses a whole Topy piece instead of a pre made shoo shape...
