Quality, mate, quality. Expensive shoes that will last 20 years versus ephemeral fashion. Therein lies the difference.

The waistline is the problem with that. Your feet stay the same size all your life. Unfortunately the waist does not....

Side adjusters on the trousers normally take care of that, unless you pile it on, and if that is the case, you obviously were not quick enough doing something about it!

Same same.

I wanted a bit of diversity in my wardrobe. So far this year I've added Dutch, Swiss and American to my English collection.

Why would you even want shoes that could last that long?

Are you telling us that a gentleman like yourself doesn't have a pair Goodyear double welted country walking shoes ?

Gives a different meaning to the Emperor's new clothes, doesn't it?

I am constantly amazed that people adopt a certain fashion sesne just because the fashion magazines, designers and celebs say it is the new fashion. It's like people don't really care about wearing what they like, they just imitate the style of famous people.

I can't stand the skinny tight jeans men wear now ; I still wear relazed fit khakis and jeans.
