Thanks @Bela Kun and @covskin. I think I mis-remembered seeing brogues. Or maybe it was on a different forum. But between the smooths and the brogues I have a much better idea now of toe shape. Was just curious as to whether it was more like Loake, Alden, Florsheim or Allen Edmonds.- Paint House Gang

Did I imagine it or was there a photo of original 60s royals posted in this thread at some point? Maybe a pair owned by Jim Cox or some other DJ? Cannot for the life of me find it. If anyone could post that would be most appreciated!- Paint House Gang

Snorkels are discussed as mid-70s football lad gear in some of those football casual books. Probably because they were the generic coat of British boyhood. Then apparently came back into fashion with casuals in the 80s with the whole outdoorsy/M&S jumper look that was a reaction to the...- Paint House Gang

A colleague who wears very fashion-forward stuff (drape-y silhouettes etc.) was wearing a very nice pair of oxblood monkey boots the last time I saw him. I asked him what make they are and it turns out they're Prada! Here are the black ones...- Paint House Gang

I have been seeing a lot more Stone Island in Toronto lately - I counted two stoneys on students in the exam I just invigilated. Fashion-forward young people seem to be into it now as part of a streetwear look. Maybe something to do with Drake hanging out with aping the styles of UK grime...- Paint House Gang

haha I have had similarly experiences while looking up penny loafers. Did you find any flashers while you were down that internet hole?
