Cobblers Clobber

Couple of trotter purchases. Cleared out four pairs of trainers, deeply upset that the arse had fallen out of eBay (70 quid for a pair of size 10 2004 orange/brown Trimm Trab? Fuck off) but it worked in my favour with this pair of One True Saxon Edwa boots. Winning bid 99p. Then six quid postage. But when they arrived the postage label said £7.45. So technically got them for minus 46 pence. Poor sod of a seller. Happy buyer.

Canny pleased with them though. From back in the day before OTS was available in Littlewoods and designed by future Garbstore lynchpin Ian Paley. Nice suede brown desert boot style but with moccasin stitching round the toe. The camouflage bit is a touch of class as well and makes them stand out for me.

Next up is simplicity itself. These soft cotton deck shoes in a classic navy are by M&S Blue Harbour and are a inexpensive addition to the summer shoe collection. Less then twenty quid the simple design would work be it Primark or Sperry Top Sider - but pleased it's BH.
 With the piss poor May weather hopefully behind us and an impending heatwave en route, looking forward to teaming these with a cool polo shirt, cargo shorts and bucket hat. For that authentic England at the European Championship look - minus the pub patio furniture leaving my hands.
