Whatever happened to York River Traders? I have that same boat-tote that was shipped to me free of charge along with a backordered belt a few years ago with no note or anything. Use both all the time.
i was thinking the handle on that tote looked like their work. I like their belts, have one with green webbing and another with blue rigging rope. The brother and sister who started the business closed it at the end of 2019.
There are minimalist sandals that would replicate the look and feel of a rope sandal. They are from thin webbing that's less prone to chafing, comfortable for walking. Check out Bedrock, Xero, and Luna.
RE: second photo from the top. Seeing this makes me wish I had reinforcements when my Cuban grandmother who insisted EVERYTHING be starched and ironed would scold me for wearing non-pressed shirts and chinos. I had to rebel somehow.
Quoddys, Barbours and Volvos...oh my!
ReplyDeleteAnd terriers, knot bracelets, and critter pants...a tour de force!
DeleteAnd a very nice looking Catalina 30.

DeleteI wish ElizaB/Leather Man could pick up the rigging concept in their belts. It would be cool on a pair of sandals for my wife, too.

DeleteSimple elegance will out! Just superb. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteLove it! You have "archives", I have "random pictures on my iPhone". ;)
ReplyDeleteMe too. I have 3000 pictures on my iPhone. Lots of squirrels and trees. How random is that?

ReplyDeleteEven those classic Heywood Wakefield wicker chairs (I'm guessing) seen on so many old-fashioned New England seaside porches.
