Bagged some brown tasseled Weejuns online from TK Maxx for 40

Looks like they have quite a selection of loafers and boat shoes from Bass, Sebago etc.

Yes some bargains to be had, in fact I've just pulled the trigger on some black penny Weejuns, again 40 quid, already got a pair, but I might relegate the older pair to wear at my new job occasionally.

I heard yesterday that Bass is closing all it’s shops here in America. Not sure if they’re going online only or completely shutting down. Get ‘em while you can!

The loafers look great . In the pic they look a chestnut colour, nice one.

Cheers S, they were a mid brown colour, but I gave them a first polish with Black, to darken them up a bit. I do that with most of my brown shoes.

They look good @Yorky How well do they take the polish? I have found that the shiny nature of Weejuns today makes it much harder to darken them.

Did the same to my light brown Ben Silver Harvard loafers a couple years ago, but with burgundy polish. Results were great.

I have those shoes. They’re actually Crockett and Jones. I hope you got a good deal cos the price they’re advertised in the BS catalogue is a ripoff!

yeah, they were very expensive. Wouldn’t pay that much again but they are high-quality.

A good buy there Yorky.
Shopping online at TK Maxx is preferable to visiting one of their stores.(well, round my way anyway)
I think the 'TK' stands for technical knockout.

I find the mix varies quite a bit between the various stores near me. Some of this seems to reflect the relative affluence of the different towns.
