As a bit of an aside, it has always amused me how Croc/Gator has been viewed in certain social circles and age groups. The following is not some historical research but simply my own views. My parents and their friends ( WWII generation, conservative ) often referred to slippery characters, car salesman or shady businessmen as "An Alligator show wearing type" (They also said the same thing about "suede shoe wearing type") . Good luck getting a loan at a bank in the 70's wearing croc shoes to meet the loan officer. In the 70's if you wore croc or gator you risked being called "pimp" by everyone at any age (and, you probably were). Then the 80's power look hit with movies like Wall Street and guys were looking for alpha male accessories to pair with their double breasted suits. I began to see more croc/gator tassel loafers and oxfords at regular places like ColeHaan and on entrepreneurs. But by the 90's after croc/gator became endangered it wasn't cool to wear. It would be like wearing seal fur. Now, with farming, etc., no one cares
