Orvis Gokeys is what I wear most of the time up here in the north country. Moccasins, moccasin-style boat shoes, oxfords, and chukkah boots, all hand-made of 7 and 9 oz. Brazilian bullhide (though they may now have substituted US bullhide - don't go there anyone!). Under $200./pair, outsole repairable and will last forever. Plus 21 years. For those who remember the rule against perpetuities. Seth - I'm off the list for a while, need to go to New York City for several meetings. ----- Original Message ----- From: "GREG LORENZO" <gregj.lorenzo@shaw.ca> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug@leica-users.org> Sent: Sunday, January 22, 2006 12:22 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] no film in a decade; now very poor men's clothes > Seth Rosner writes in part: > >> Saratoga Springs from New York City.
