ReplyDeleteHi there Grey Fox,
ReplyDeleteIn today's Sartoralist you wrote the word Brogue. In America, no one, except a person in the shoe selling /fashion business would even know what that word was. The word Oxford is even an old word for a kind of shoe that would be now called a lace-up or tie-up. Loafer and slip-on refer to shoes that you don't tie. Slides and clogs are also other names for backless shoes in America. Take a look at Wikipedia's articles on both Oxford shoes and Brogue, and even Blucher styled shoes. You could do a article covering cap toe, wing tip, monk strap and all the other kinds of shoe styles, with PICTURES so your readers can know what you are telling them about. AND when you mention them in future articles, you could provide a click-able way to that post.
As for that man in the article, he has been seen many times before. Always short pants, and mostly/all the times with no socks but sometimes with tie-up or monk strapped shoes. As with all the bare ankled looks, small "peds" another word for a shoe lining sock, most often worn by women, could be on his feet.
Happy Holidays to you Grey Fox!
Hi there Grey Fox, in your newest post you mention the word JUMPER. In America the word jumper pertains to a collarless, sleeveless dress, typically worn over a blouse. A Jumper is any shoulder-to-thigh woman's dress that a woman jumps into, steps into, or pulls up. My sister wore Jumper dresses as part of a Catholic grade school uniform (kindergarten to 8th grade). I looked up Jumper. Jumpers in England designate what Americans call sweaters for both men and women.
ReplyDeleteHi Fred,
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for your comments. I thought I had replied to your earlier, but Blogger swallowed my reply.
I really need to write a post dealing with the tricky issue of the US and UK being two countries divided by a common language. Such is the confusion that I was once complimented on the quality of my spoken English by an American woman in Florida. Yes, quite...
Thanks for the idea and watch this space.
GF.
