Last week I enjoyed some escapades wearing a pair of Alden Siegels.

Previously I mentioned former Lounger, Esther Weis. The lady made me a magnificent hat to go with a new suit that I had, made to measure. The colour wasn't dissimilar to that which she is wearing.

Who remembers former Lounger, SimonC? That's Simon James Cathcart. He posted this wonderful 1920's photo of Hollywood royalty, Douglas Fairbanks Jnr. and Mary Pickford. Look at Fairbanks' shoes.

The sin of covet consumed me, I had to have a pair like that.

I bought these from Simon, these were the shoes that I had on today. At last week's church service some fellow commented on my shoes. With a smile I showed him Fairbanks' photo on my phone. "You have a pair like that?" He said, looking astonished. Today his astonishment was complete.

There's a larger version of this photo in the 'What Hat' thread. Thank you Simon, everyone just loves the shoes.

At least the leather is good enough that a simple Brush is all that I need to clean them off. Brush them off a little, and they are ready for another 6 months. At which time, I'll decide if I will buy another pair of Jim Green, or move on.
