Because it’s The Masters baby…
Back. Fresh soles and heel caps. I estimate 5 more years. Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without.

St John’s Church, Marchwood, Hampshire
I was exploring the other side of Southampton Water on my bicycle this afternoon. I’ve cycled past this church a few times and never ventured inside, until today.
Those “kneelers”!
“Excuse me Sir, you’re sitting in MY seat. It’s been my seat since 1631.”
I’ve been deciding what to do with my Bean Camp Mocs recently. The uppers have aged very well. The soles on the other hand are cheap and the heals wore through in a little less than 2 years.
Now I know about the satisfaction guarantee at Bean. I thought long and hard about sending them back for replacement. Even though they would have done so with no questions asked, at the end of the day it just didn’t seem like the right thing to do.
I went on a few made in the USA sources for camp mocs… The prices were higher than I wanted to pay. Everyone was well over $200.
Back to the shoes, I decided to take them to a shoe repair shop around the corner. The cobbler showed me a quality boat sole from Goodyear for $50. So today I dropped them off and for $50 I’ll repair my Camp Mocs. These treads will be high quality. Yes, I know I could have almost bought another new pair for $30 more! But, there’s something that felt right about having something repaired.
I am trying to live by the motto, “Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without!” It’s a philosophy that was adhered to by many in previous American generations.
Tried on The New Original Polo Brooks Brothers OCBD. I like it, I like the fact that I can go a mile down the road and buy an American made unlined rolled-collar shirt.
I’d love this but not keen on the $140.00 price tag.
Who pays full retail for anything at BB?
Close up of the New Original Polo Brooks Brothers label. They brought back the “Makers” mark. American cotton, shipped to Japan to be made into cloth, then shipped back to Garland, NC to be cut and assembled. Seems awfully inefficient.
Southwick pincord sport coat for summer. Two button sack with side vents. Made in the USA. It’s the cats meow.
