The Blue Blazer
The traditional blue blazer, it doesn’t get much more classic or more versatile. This one dates from the 1950s and is made of an english flannel. It has pearloid buttons and is marked “Robin Hood”, who as we all know, was famous for his double breasted flannel sportcoats.

McHale shoes
Pre-Longwing Gunboats. Canadian made by John McHale in the 1940s or 1950s. Enormous, heavy soles. Flush captoe. I can’t imagine what you could do to these shoes that they couldn’t take.

These 1970s spectators, with their high, curved heel, don’t have quite the same elegance of their 1930s forerunners. But the leather sure has aged nicely.
