Chestnut because i already had a black pair of craftsmens. besides, there a bit more summery, odd pants type, there actualy quite good with jeans too.
I'm not very european, you'd have to go back a few years to find my euro herratage, i'm 6th or 7th gen aussie
i'll shoot you over my email later for if you organise the McCl visit later.
next pair will probs be darker brown chukka or black oxfords.
tho i'm buying a money pit in the form of an E30 over the summer so it might have to be put off till mid next year some time.

Your uncle sounds like a character! The E30 is a total rebuild job engine suspension, the works, i have the facilities to do it so cost won’t be nearly as bad as some restorations, it should be pretty decent when it’s done but I’ll be taking my time.
I'm thinking a more practical work shoe, (black oxford)
or a casual type, dark brown chukkas.
James, the guy who hand welts down here seems pretty good, I was impressed with the pics I was on his website; I’ll have to visit there soon.
Maybe him, Cliff still has my last so I’ll still be getting shoes off him, besides he does an excellent job!
But like you, I’d like to support aussies too if I can. I can always have Bruce make a copy of my last so I can have a set of lasts here for aussie makers.
Build a relationship, seeing (when i'm working) it will be a 1 to 2 pairs per year thing. That way I can have a good rotation built up by the time i'm 30. (Twice per month or so for one pair)

Nice story Wrigglz and nice shoes. The story is just as important as the shoes themselves.

You'll need a pair of Blunnies for working on the car.

Some decent looking mens shoes on this local site:
