Cool Shoes, Paraphernalia & Desiderata - Part II - Page 554

Looks like russian reindeer. Like a really large gray reindeer with big ole banana leaf
ear with horns next to its hose nose

It could be elephant, depending on which part they used, but my vote would be for walrus or maybe seal.

The elephant pieces I"ve had/handled had a slightly different grain (more very small, uneven circle grain patterns). Walrus, though, at least with the belly or back area, tended to have those big gnarly graining. As well, walrus (or seal) was often used in vintage cases.

Without seeing/handling it in person, I'm not sure so am just guessing.

Nice pair of C&J loafers at a good BIN:

I picked these Tony Lama cowboy boots up today, can anyone please help me identify the leather type that was used on the boot. Thank you.

 

 

Hey Nate, Distinctive has these at ebay:

Although this pair, that ended yesterday, looks like a better deal:

JL Black Wingtips & Trees £375 OBO Topied

 

The look so feminine - The heel looks like something from cowboy boots - can't see that much of it though so I'm probably wrong...

Some interesting finds on Etsy

Dunhill card case (crocodile skin, but too small to carry credit cards and driver's ID)

Size 10 Brooks Brother's tux pumps (lots of creases on the patent leather, not sure if it's worth it)

Panama Hats from Worth & Worth

Some nice Borsalino hats

Not sure if it's THE Borrelli...I don't know if they make leather bags or what this bag is used for

Very nice Versace silk scarf (paging Spoo)

Kiton silk scarf with tag

Green Cordings leather wallet/case

Size 42 Corduroy jack from Simpson of Piccadilly

Crazy shoes from Dack's

Traveling toiletries case made with elephant skin (I can't tell if it is or isn't, but pretty cool)

Abercrombie & Fitch leather belt, nice patina

Ballantyne cashmere vest

Hartmann luggage set, radioactive green

Finally, a glamour shot...remember that creepy neighbour your parents told you to stay away?

Nice one, but not worth e100.
