Imagine Vass, but twice as ugly.I'm quite curious what the "Frankenstein monstrosities" are. If described as "Transylvanian gravediggers shoes" then I'm going with Vass.

The look on Franky's face when he gets a birthday present and he gets `Formby shoes':
Formby shoes = plain factory made english shoes such as captoe oxfords, punched captoe oxfords, wholecuts occasionally and even going as far as an Adelaide oxford. Formby likes his shoes to be plain, but will sometimes splash out with a touch of broguing, but to own a full brogue is completely out of the question because they would be considered "pig ugly".
See, as many know, a lot of western igents like the factory look of C&J, G&G and Edward Green, they consider such factory shoes elegant, and especially if the shoes lack broguing. Formby is in that category.
I like Walker style shoes and Formby shoes....I like all the styles, however I strongly resonate with Formby's preference us shoes because I always liked plain english shoes as a kid. All I liked as a kid was english captoe oxfords in black or burgundy, english wholecuts and plain Italian high fronted loafers, but l could be stretched to a classis double soled plain toe american derby. Formby shoes = excellently styled factory shoes without too much decoration.
I like the manliness of Walker style shoes. They have a real presence and ooze `real shoes'. The best of both worlds. The styling of both is excellent.

No PPE graduate who inherited bespoke items from his father (he mentioned it in some of his posts, which shows his father was loaded in the first place), then works in financial journalism with a slot in the FT (How To Spend It) and Cosmo and what have you, with access to the great and good, earns 18k a year. He would have earned a lot more.

How do you know he was only on 18k a year? If true, he was some very low employee and he certainly wouldn't be sporting C&J's unless his parents we're giving him an extra allowance or he had a trust fund. Unless that was his summer job? I regularly use to earn 17k over the summer in 89-92 as a student. Actually that was for the whole year thinking back.
He wrote it himself. 18k my arse. He was on 50k more like, straight out of Oxford.
My kind of fellow.so would have been a man of refined tastes, but dubious ethics.

Ask this man. He'll be able to tell you more. He was almost crushed to death under the weight of several hundred pairs of Transylvanian clodhoppers. A very near miss. They do say, it's unwise to get into bed with Austro-Hungarian beet farmers. Their taste in shoes can leave a lot to be desired. They should stick to tractors. It's more their pace.

I filled in Crompers's poll today. Five hundred quid is not to be scoffed at. I put this in the disagreeable thread because it is disagreeable to be a morto de' fame, as our Italian friends put it. But needs must, what?
Is it a coincidence* that Crompers posts a readership survey only a week or so after we speculate about the makeup of his readership?
*probably, yes
Or an extremely wealthy foreigner living in Belgravia with money to spend but not much idea what to buy?
Or undoctored.Maybe include a doctored mafoofan photo to go with the survey?
To show how important you are:Maybe include a doctored mafoofan photo to go with the survey?
