Yes. An even better bargain than I first thought.
I’ve tended to stick more to the casual (or pared down?) side of Ivy, so don’t know everything I should about Northampton shoes. Even the Loake Royals rarely get an airing these days.
As far as I can tell, these ones date from just after Prada’s involvement, but before Church dropped their highly thought of 73 last. Of course, The Shooman and Tom would know a lot more about it than me.
Sadly, they’ll probably be creamed and polished more than they get worn, as they seem to command at the very least a quality trouser. Not to be slung on with denim or khakis.

Also CDs: Jelly Roll Morton, Margaret Whiting, Stan Getz and Astrud Gilberto.
Picked up Harold Land's 'The Fox' in Oxfam for £1.99.  The despised 'West Coast' sound - but it swings.  Hard boppers should give it a try.

They are good shirts for the (admittedly secondhand) price.  By sheer coincidence, all three are hanging on the line, together with a recently acquired L.L.Bean USA-made flannel shirt (which probably needs folding and storing till early October).  Who was it who said there was a Penney connection?  They remind me of an old l/s I had from the local Oxfam shop years ago, aside from the fact that felt more like brushed cotton.  I wouldn't object to a fourth.

Ecru Brooks shirt.  £5.  This came from an Ebay seller who seems to get his paws on hundreds of Brooks shirts, most of which are ho-hum and often made in Chinese sweatshops (like Ralphie and others).  But they're always willing to cut a deal and charge no postage.  I suspect they're wholly indifferent to where the shirts are made but sometimes have halfway decent American items.

Tim - these are amazing shoes. I rarely wear mine as I love them so much. I wince as I traverse the street in them. "We'll be home soon my babies and I shall put your trees back in and you can rest in your little felt bags for a few months".

I bought my LHS colour 8s from a US ebay seller who, fortunately for me, didn’t appear to know what they were or their value. They had a few scratches on the soles suggesting they had only been worn once or twice. So I got rubber sole protectors and a metal tip inset at the toe applied before I started using them. Probably sacrilege in the eyes of shoe worshippers, but I can wear them with abandon and without pavement skating. I wish I had done this with all my leather soled shoes.

£1000 on the car
£600 on the roof.
Don't think I'll be buying Alden anything any time soon.
They remain a marginal 'Holy Grail' item.

Get divorce.

Nice version of 'For All We Know' by SM - almost as good (and certainly as sad) as that of Beverly Kenney, dead in her twenties.  Nothing here for the hard boppers of course.

You lucky sod!

Colour me impressed. My Kamukara shirt just turned up via DHL 20 minutes ago. Ordered on Saturday last (4th June) and shipped from Tokyo - Ireland.
Quality is really truly excellent, it's a touch tight around my middle but that is my fault, having put a good few pounds on in the last few weeks post-surgery. If I had to find one gripe - it's a fairly minor one at that, it's the lack of spare buttons. .
The chambray is beautiful, really soft, came with a warning label about being genuinely indigo dyed and how that may rub off etc and to wash separately, nice little Kaihara Denim logo sewn subtly onto the bottom of the placket.

No extra charges from the taxman or his cronies either. I'll be ordering a couple more in the next week or two.

@Tim, I'm not sure if you're aware but there's a second wave of Kamakura Vintage Ivy just in.
