HOF: Labels, heels and nail patterns - Secrets to ID the maker
Thank you, Tim, NickPollica and Onix. The consensus seems to be Alfred Sargent. After posting the question and pictures, I searched further on the Web. I found a few miscellaneous posts, re. 'Bowen' Men's Shoes, Made in England - all confirmed AS. As I mentioned in my post, I also picked up...- twosaabs

HOF: Labels, heels and nail patterns - Secrets to ID the maker
Would appreciate help in determining who made these Made in England shoes - I picked them up at a moving sale this weekend along with a pair of Trickers. Based on reading this forum and researching on EBAY, I went from Cheaney to C&J to AS . The label is Bowen - a chain of stores in and around...- twosaabs

Waxing A Cotton Jacket
Similar expreience to Fredrikkn. Coincidentally, I spent a few hours re-waxing two Barbour jackets yesterday - these were pretty beat up jackets my wife and I picked up cheaply at Yard Sales. I don't have a heat gun. What I did was to work one section at a time. I applyed the melted wax and...- twosaabs

Thanks, Onix. Can you tell me anything about Bookbinder Calf. Are you familiar with this line of shoes and what their approximate original selling price was? Thanks for your help. You helped me I.D. another pair of shoes a few weeks ago. Much appreciated- twosaabs

Trying to determine if these shoes I picked up, lightly used, are Shell or Calf. They are Church's - Prima Classe - Made in Italy. Would any one have an idea from the photos? Also, any idea of the approximate original price??- twosaabs

Ask A Question, Get An Answer... - Post All Quick Questions Here (Classic menswear)
One of the members had helped me to I.D. these shoes that I picked up at a thrift shop as probably made by Cheaney. After doing a lot of reading on the forum, I'm now wondering if they are Shell or Calf. Would anyone be able to tell from the photo or be able to give me any ideas about how I can...- twosaabs

HOF: Labels, heels and nail patterns - Secrets to ID the maker
Does anyone know who manufactured shoes sold as 'David and Joan Couture' - made in Italy and /or anything about they're relative quality. I have a never been worn pair that I purchased new some time ago - not sure what I was thinking since they're too narrow for my feet. They're quite nice. I...- twosaabs

The stitching on top of the welt actually looks even and original. Curious! Great information, I would never have thought to look closely at the stitching on top of the welt. Thanks, again. Onix.- twosaabs

HOF: Labels, heels and nail patterns - Secrets to ID the maker
Thanks, Onix, Appreciate you're I.D. of the shoes as old Cheaneys. Hadn't occurred to me that the soles/heels may be replacements. Actually the Commandos don't show much wear. One curiousity - would replacements have been sewn on? Are Itshide Commandos always sewn on (as opposed to Vibram which...- twosaabs
