Quartermaster James Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Sure, we've all been to the Quickie-Mart in kit, but what about wearing your buckle shoes with your workday suit? Let's make buckle shoes fashion forward!
Silkie McDonough Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 I would gladly wear my tie shoes. Very fashionable!
withoutaname Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 actually we wear ours to work all the time. When we got new ones my other half broke his in by wearing and walking in them about 2 miles a day and while at work and on more than one occassion I have gotten compliments from fashionable coworkers about my lace up 2" heeled shoes :) In fact I think they are the only dress shoes my boy has.

Ransom Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Sure, we've all been to the Quickie-Mart in kit, but what about wearing your buckle shoes with your workday suit?Let's make buckle shoes fashion forward! James, my lad, where've ya been all this time? Good to see you back! Why just buckle shoes? Why not make frock coats every day wear? I've already got a plan to make one without such big cuffs, and a bit more conservative, so I can wear it like any other coat. I just like the style and look of them. I had thought about starting a thead called Pyrate Street Style (may still do that), where people could post pictures of themselves in street clothes, but show how they proclaim thier piratey-ness — T-shirts, jewelry, coats, shoes, boots, stickers on thier cars/trucks, etc. We aleady have threads for what you look like in garb at events, but nothing showing how you proclaim your pirate side all the rest of the time. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold... You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you. But if you're a good navigator, a least you'll know where you were when you died.......From The Ship Killer by Justin Scott.

Cheeky Actress Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Oh yes...this I have done. How else does one ready their shoes for an event? I have worn both the buckle and lace/tie shoes to work. Not only for breaking them it (such as scuffing soles and stretching them out) but also for the fashion. I have a puffy shirt too and it all falls together very nicely. Member of "The Forsaken"
Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Whenever there is a speech/presentation at school that is open topic, I always choose something historical, and dress the period for my delivery. The campus always enjoys my outfits, but of course... No weapons allowed. Sounds as if alot of us play dress up in our daily lives. Very cool! I prefer my 1850/60's clothing at home and on weekends to any of my 21st century attire. I have on my ACW civilian attire right now. Funny, but the horses like it better when I come out dressed like this too. I think we have all been here before. Bo
Capt. Sterling Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 What better way to age a pc type garment than to do so naturally? The more you wear it the better it looks without running the risk of doing it incorrectly by faking it... Waistcoats, shirts and shoes are often worn to school along with over coats in the cooler weather... and the kids think it is cool...so I can't lose any way you look at it... as for the adults...who cares what they think?

Quartermaster James Posted January 20, 2008 Author Posted January 20, 2008 James, my lad, where've ya been all this time? Good to see you back! Hello Ransom lass! Why, I've been shipwrecked...in Milwaukie no less! Good to see you around too. Looks like we won't be resting in the arms of the sea this winter, but maybe I'll see you in September? Anyway, why just bucket shoes? Because what I was thinking of here was not another fashion magazine story on pirate chic, which I see we all love in its many and varied forms, but actually bringing dress shoes with buckles back in style.
HildeKitten Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 I own several pairs of bucket boots :) Although admittedly 2 of the pairs are only being kept because they're still good for photoshoots (and that's all their good for really). My bucket boots from caboots.com I wear pretty much all the time, no matter where I'm going :) House of Secrets Incorporated Fashion and costume design For all your piracy needs
Lady Alyx Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Hmmm I don't think they will match my track pants...lol... ~~~~Sailing Westward Bound~~~~ Lady Alyx
Will Fiddle Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 I've worn my buckle shoes all day on several occassions, expecially when my regular blacks were getting resoled. On most days no one noticed, though a couple of ladies noticed something was amiss when they noticed that my toes were squared. For the start of my class on pirates, I wore my waistcoat and cravat, one colleague commented on the formality of my cravat, but didn't seem to notice that my vest was extra long, so maybe I can start wearing my waistcoats on a regular basis... It was -3 degrees in Kenosha this morning, and I seriously considered wearing my gaiters for extra warmth Your most and obliged humble servant, William Dezoma
Lady Alyx Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 ...what did he say about your cravat? ~~~~Sailing Westward Bound~~~~ Lady Alyx
