Hucklecat...that is what is referred to as a V-Cleat or you'll hear the nickname Suicide Heal.

thanks jkidd! I'm just starting to get into vintage dress shoes, it is amazing the difference in "older" models vs. the new stuff.

Nothing crazy today...

Did find a NWOT Metolius chalk bag (any other climbers out there?). Also two ties that seem nice (Pierre Balmain and Italo Feretti?).

Lol, I use one of the old metolius chalk bucket type bags for bouldering which I also thrifted

Lots of great finds recently but these are awesome. So sweet. NOS shell gets me more excited than just about anything else I find.

Not sure I ever properly bragged about these. I'm so in love with the "new shoe" look of the sole, I've refused to wear these anywhere but carpeted surfaces. Because when I wore my C&J boots and Barrie LTD shells for the first time and scuffed the soles to look like normal mortal shoes, I damn near cried. True stories all.

So who here is from Boston again? Got a Boston history question. Typhoid, is that you?

 

[Typhoid Jones]

Won this on eBay. Got it for what I think is a flippin' steal. So awesome. Has original 1940s/1950s Bahamas customs sticker.

^^^ I purchased a vintage English-made leather suitcase that I use regularly for travel. It's the perfect size for ANY overhead compartment from the big jets to the regional jets and has been with me to 4 of the 7 continents.

^^^ On the ferry dock to Koh Chang, Thailand (April 2013).​
