New Tyrolian Style Shoes in natural leather by Billy's & Co. 

New Tyrolean Style Shoes in natural leather by Billy's & Co. - When one thinks of Tyrolean Style shoes one thinks of Paraboots, Huschung (both from France), or even Wallabies by Clarks UK.  One place your mind wanders would not generally be South Korea.  However, I had been looking for a good pair of Tyrolean style shoes and happened on an article on Heddles blog as was intrigued and not a little impressed with both the quality of these shoes by Billy's & Co. and also the very reasonable pricing.  Sold through the Anglan website (also Korean).

Last month I received these Tyrolean-style shoes made by Billy's & Company and wore them almost exclusively on a brief trip to Lago di Garda, Italy a couple of weeks ago.  I must say that am very impressed with their build quality.  They are very heavily built with leather soles and stacked heals and with Vibran Eton studded outsoles.  Based on my experience with these so far, I fully expect them to last for many years.

Ednam Estate Check Flat Cap from Lochcarrin Scotland

Ednam Estate Check Flat Cap from Lochcarrin Scotland - It has certainly been a while since I posted on this old blog, but I've got a few items that I recently acquired that I would like to share. First up is my newly arrived cap from Lochcarron of Scotland in a beautifully woven Ednam Estate Check that I just love. I had purchased several ties in various Tartans and Estate Checks a couple of years ago and I my favorite was in the Ednam Estate Check, so when I realized that they also offered the same pattern in a great-looking flat cap, I couldn't resist.  This is my first cap from Lochcarron, but given the overall quality, it certainly won't be my last..
