Guess it dates me to say the wearers look too young to be in college, but the coats of arms and coordinating ties are stunning. Having been to Brown, I hate to say I never saw those blazers and ties before. And btw really don't care for white bucks, but am probably alone in my opinion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714922182513339530.post-58158708137375375202022-05-16T08:03:41.889-04:002022-05-16T08:03:41.889-04:00Barrie's never failed.

Arnold’s was not quite as swish as Barries. The quality was perceived a bit lower. The prices were not as high. They didn’t sell Ghonga boots. But Arnold’s was still better than any other shoe store not named Barries. Part of the cache of Barries was the free shine they’d offer you if you strolled into the shop wearing their shoes. This was a treat for a 12 year old who wanted to look sharp making the rounds between The Co-op, Cutlers, and The Doodle. And everyone knew, it was easier to get a ride hitchhiking home if your shoes were shined.

I have a pair identical to your husbands of the same vintage although I didn’t get them at Barrie’s. And since I rarely wear them, they’ve held up well, and with a little chalk look almost new.<br /><br />These shoes became popular primarily with the American youth of the 1950s, and projected a clean-cut, civil, presentable, and youthful image. (The then popular singer Pat Boone favored this type of shoe, and it became his trademark. Try to envision today’s tattooed, hooded, masked rioters in them? Not easy.) No, the rebellious kids of that calm mid-century era intentionally wore their white bucks scuffed and dirty – talk about sane civilized defiance.<br /><br />The origin of the suede white buck actually began sometime back in the 1940s from companies like Regal (slogan – “Compare With Your Own Eyes” - Price $8.95), and Roblee (they offered a model aptly called “THE IVY BUCK, for upper class comfort on campus” - price $12.95). These were the ultra-prep/collegiate footwear of the time, and thankfully are still around today.<br />ROBERT REICHARDTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714922182513339530.post-44159402375214615132022-05-15T15:57:22.141-04:002022-05-15T15:57:22.141-04:00Barries set the standard.

It was an ankle boot with an oversized tongue buckled on the outside, overlapping the quarter (I think that’s the shoemaker’s term). Sharper and better looking IMHO than the Chelsea boots pounding the pavements today.
