Anyone heard of George Webb shoes?
Well, this thread may be old but I read your interesting reply. Where are you from ? I am now back living in Northamptonshire, but rarely visit Walgrave, although I still have a cousin there. Have not recently seen any George Webb Barkers, but the John White name is certainly used by somebody...- Lafcadio

Houndstooth Jacket
Thanks for this advice - I sort of agree. Have been thinking of wearing my houndstooth jacket ( like this one) to a Stax gig in London next week. Colonel Cropper & Duck Dunn may not notice and all my friends will say I'm ridiculously overdressed but I'll still do it. Grunge is so 1990s and I am...- Lafcadio

Anyone heard of George Webb shoes?
It now seems that Barker are using the name George Webb, as evidenced by this quote from UK eBay : VERY RARE: This is a Barker's made, 6 tie derby brogue boot. It is cut from espresso anniversary calf . The sock celebrates 'George Webb' one of many Northamptonshire makers now part of cobbler...- Lafcadio

CROCKETT & JONES mottled look loafers ??
Actually, I was just going for "mottled-look" = leprosy. Two blown jokes in as many days. Maybe I'll just give up. Used shoes? Go for 'em. If I could fit into anything besides massive camel-size footwear, I might be tempted to join you, but damn if anyone who shares my size doesn't seem to...- Lafcadio

CROCKETT & JONES mottled look loafers ??
Because I'm not minted and often used shoes are barely worn at all. So far, no leprosy. If you have not tried it, and I don't blame you, you may writhe in horror, but it's not like wearing someone else's underpants, is it ? My Vass budapesters were ca. £80 instead of £500-£600 which I cannot...- Lafcadio

CROCKETT & JONES mottled look loafers ??
Let's finish this by me saying : we agree to differ. However, and it's a big HOWEVER : I guarantee to : 1. NEVER wear shorts with loafers 2. NEVER wear black socks under non-existent shorts 3. NEVER show varicose veins when I get them 4. always wear chinos or casual trousers with no sock...- Lafcadio

CROCKETT & JONES mottled look loafers ??
Fair enough, but I do. Here in England, there are no old man connotations that I recognise. So, presumably, you would detest my Maxwells, bought locally from a retailer who forages the local factories. Guess what they cost ?- Lafcadio

CROCKETT & JONES mottled look loafers ??
Many thanks to all who replied. They have gone to one bid of £18 ( ca. $29 ) which did not come from me. In pursuit of a bargain, and a shoe I liked, one must never stray from the path of common sense and good SF advice. Jawohl - have quickly read the tscherman description and will study...- Lafcadio

CROCKETT & JONES mottled look loafers ??
I am most grateful for your advice - 3 of you. I suppose I already knew but needed confirmation. Plenty more fish in the sea - particularly as the Cheaney sale approaches at their factory shop, only 20 minutes from our modest chateau. ( English humour ). I still ponder how they got into this...- Lafcadio

Should I buy these C&J Cavendish tassel loafers for £18 ? They have a peculiar mottled appearance, unexplained by seller, who thinks this is intentional and likes them like this. I am confused and although they are cheap ( he reduced them twice) worried that they might be in fact buggered, or...- Lafcadio

Blucher- Am I saying it wrong?
The best way to pronounce Blucher is the following: "Derby". Sorry - my post was meant for Siggy - please read.- Lafcadio

Blucher- Am I saying it wrong?
As England's only Jacques Dutronc fan, may I congratulate you on your very fine avatar. We went to Troyes, France to see his last concert tour in May and were thrilled to see the great man at last. ( OK, maybe not the only, but one of a very small number). Crac boum hue ! Un joujou extra qui...- Lafcadio

My trip to Northampton; factory shops, bespoke last measurement and a factory tour
This sounds most interesting - I went to Alfred Sargent in Rushden too, a few months back, and was surprised they had no factory shop, but they are very hospitable. They featured on Gok Wan's womens fashion TV show recently. My wife was watching this awful prog and I suddenly perked up when A.S...- Lafcadio

In your group of friends are you the most well dressed?
Yes, apart from one London lawyer friend. My wife says : Don't wear a tie please. In my village nobody really has a clue or gives two hoots. But then they also don't have my shoe Appreciation problem or fixation with american shirts. Different strokes for badly dressed folks.- Lafcadio

Velvet Slipper Durability and Maintenance
They should actually be less than 15GBP to post to me. Via Royal Mail signed for. I've had shoes & trees shipped for 18 quid. We'll see what my wife and daughter think, after due consideration, but I do not want to sell them on. They could be too small for the giant, in which case my brother...- Lafcadio
