They look like Taylor mades. I had a pair I sold to a friend as they were far too small for me.

... but ma, all of the cool kids are doing it!!!

Remember fellas, with great power comes great responsibility!

PS: for context, chapter 68 is Head & Neck Infection while chapter 70 is Infections on Immuno Compromised Patients. The flow is absolutely unrelated to STD for chapter 69. Must appreciate a good sense of humor View attachment 1540570

Wow. 3 pairs of black wholecuts in one day!

Would this pair let me get into that club? I guess they are sort of black wholecuts?
They would fill a gap in my shoe collection that I never knew I had, and I would be all set if I quit my job and go into show biz.

Well, even if I don't quit my job, I am -seriously- thinking about picking these up for parties (whenever we can have parties again).

By the way, they are Florsheims.

Those are a German pair of goyser stitch buda style brogues. More than likely by Dinkelacker or one of the German makers.

Those are... wow. Just... wow. A party shoe for sure.

More than anything, I just want to know how a shoe can make it almost 100 years, never get worn and remain in that good of condition. There must be a story there somewhere.

I also have a pair in black! I've just been wearing boots for a while now... my vintage collection will likely re-appear sometime in the spring.

So this is a thing: wholecut Thursday. Put it In your calendar.

So, what's the story on these?

For your enjoyment and edification today, I present my Alden CIGAR Shell Cordovan Tassel loafers. These are the real deal Cigar style # 36630.

I have wanted a pair of Cigar Shell for a long time. I love them. But, I will say it was slightly anticlimactic at first because they almost look like a well matured and aged #8. They arent. And when I look close I can see the depth and richness of Cigar.
