I just picked up a pair, along trees for them, some squares, and a couple Black Fleece shirts on sale.Originally Posted by Sprezzatura2010
Of all the shoes I own - entirely too many, getting close to 80 pairs now - I don't own any specs. Normally they don't appeal to me. These...did. Don't know why, but I like them. Maybe because everything's better in a double-monk. Actually, these are my first English-made BB/Peal shoes, too, my other pair being Alden-made shell cordo longwings.
Cool. I wore mine out to brunch and the art museum on Fathers Day. Pics are in WAYWN thread.

No, they weren't my size, and they're a little more flamboyant than even I am willing to go. I am a great fan of classic Nettletons, though.Originally Posted by AlanC
If you call black lizard and suede flamboyant. Anyway, it's a fascinating shoe. I'd wear it. Yes, perhaps a bit flamboyant, but the flamboyance is tempered ever so slightly by the sombre color and the fact that the contrast comes only from the materials.

These vintage Nettletons, originally sold through Neiman Marcus, just closed on ebay:Originally Posted by AlanC
It's a pity you didn't win these. I like to think you deserve to walk around in them.

Allen Edmonds "Polo"
I do not know the year of production, I bought them new roughly 28 years ago when a small Men's Store went belly up and I was a starving student. Gently used, never been resoled or healed.
Anybody know the color combination these are?
What type of leather is the darker brown?

smile when you say that, pot'na....
I haven't a clue, but I have always liked the color combination, and the contrast in leather texture.
Any AE collectors/historians or old AE salesmen out there?
