Pollock nominates this as the all-time Tradliest of lace-up shoos.

I bought a pair of these sometime around 2000 or 2001.  From Churchs on Madison.  Before the move.

Save mine are in black.  http://www.solelyshoes.com/acatalog/shannon_blackpol.htm.  They are a great shoo.

I might nominate the diplomat or the consul, but to each his own.

I'm loving this! 

And I think that on touching on 'soulful' clothing we are moving on to a bit of the common ground that we actually do share with our 'Trad' brothers -

They call it 'tradition', but they mean something similar to us I think - a certain heritage, a sense of continuity, clothes rooted in a bigger picture with a bit of a 'back-story' to them...
Because 'Trad' is a conservative movement these sentiments come out expressed as 'tradition', but to anyone coming from a different direction 'soul' is a wonderful word to use as well.

Clothes with a certain integrity.

Here's to them!

Classic forms & classic materials with a heritage and a meaning (whatever that meaning may be for you - Everyone's is different).

Clothes that resonate with you.

'Tradition'/'Soul' - It's all good.

You're doing great work here, Jesmond. S'good to have you on the team.

Love the close-up of them at the end of Bullitt.

I love how all this fits together!

And then there's The Clash in their Rude-Boy Baracutas covering Toots' 'Pressure Drop' at Madison Square Gardens...

... But you know all the old stories already

Nothing nicer than finding a fellow Ivy fan!

Must do some work now -

Later,
