Yeah, cj i wouldn't wear croc though. Dunno, the texture isn't for me especially for shoes and it would be wicked out of place at school. Lol.

One stop last night, grabbed a minty Kevin & Howlin Donegal SC in a slim 38R, an ancient Corn blazer with triple patch pockets, and logo buttons on the 1/2 off rack, and something which required a bit of research. Will post everything tonight.

Not sure about these. U.S made Wolverine 1000 mile, 9.5D. Good condition, but 80 bucks and unusual colorway.

Thoughts?

Anyone can has translate these tags, from a Nigel Cabourn piece? Pretty sure it's 100% linen, and the tags may prove or disprove that.

Hopefully also says where it's made...?

TIA!

Hmmmm, the Kanji kinda throw me off a bit because the character structure is a bit different than Chinese. But if I were to take those literally, the first tag says surface: linen, and the second tag says inner or inside, cotton. I'm not sure if that make sense...Made in Japan. Hope that helps.

Yeah, makes total sense, since it's a jacket (sort of) that has just the yoke inner lining which appears to be cotton, while the rest of it appears to be linen. So all that makes sense - thank you! And made in Japan - better yet!
