Grenson Masterpiece Quality?
Gentlemen! 1. Indeed - MY Footmasters have both channeled soles AND dovetail heels. 2. So in descending order I'm hearing - Masterpiece, - Footmaster, - Rose, - Feathermaster; Though it would seem Grenson never made all 4 simultaneously, correct? The Captain- The Captain

Grenson Masterpiece Quality?
Gentlemen! 1. There seems to be some confusion here. The line to which I referred was the Grenson FOOTmaster, not the FEATHERmaster, which I believe was a lower-priced, lower quality line contemporaneous with or after the Footmaster. 2. My question was about the FOOTmaster relative to...- The Captain

Grenson Masterpiece Quality?
Gentlemen! 1. Thank you for your responses. 2. Re: the PS, I plan on wearing ghillies with the kilt and though no purist, feel ghillies with a tongue (let alone a TARTAN tongue - eek!) would look a bit odd. 3. Re: the Loakes, sorry to sound like a bit of a snob, but unless they're at an...- The Captain

Thinking about purchasing a Classic Barbour Beaufort
Gentlemen! 1. Waxed cotton looks dreadful after, say, the third wearing. Why anyone wears it in the 21st century is entirely attributable to marketing and fashion - style and function play no role whatsoever. 2. If the country set in soggy old England who made Barbour a "classic" brand had...- The Captain
