$3 from Goodwill, unused with plastic still around the tassles. My size too!

Just ordered these in the two tone:

Kind of a casual spectator.

We'll see what they're like when they come.

They came today!

I really like them. They fit just right and are comfortable. Nice leather and workmanship. The 'black' has been weathered to blue and it looks nice. The lace color is perfect for them. Not to mention they're Stacy Adams!

Two thumbs waaaay up on these. Perfect for casual wear with jeans or dress them up with a suit. I wore them with jeans like sneakers and they looked great, felt great and got many comments on them.

The white stitching really sets them off.

Those are a stock Allen Edmonds model, it's called the Hampstead I believe, I'm not sure if they are made anymore, though.

AE Hampsteads and Lauderdales are mesh insert shoes. The insert above is canvas. The Ridgefield is an extinct model as of the 90s.

I got a question for you spectator fans. Why is it so hard to find a pair of wingtip spectators in brown & off white? I really wanted to get the Allen edmonds McClain in Bourbon & Bone, but they discontuined it. Yes, I know that they have the Bel-air, but the toe box appears really L O N G on it.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanx!!!

Most popular specs were black and white for some reason. But ebay throw up predominately tan or brown and white.

I recently picked up these fellows on UK Ebay without a fight.

Don't know if that means that the starting price was high for what they are but I have them on right now and am very happy with them.

I dig these spec loafers over at BB. The price is right but they're out of my size.
