Deal of the Day

OK, you are a JJ baller.  You eat at Koestler Prime every weekend.  You don't go to 30A, You are 30A.  You've got the platinum trophy sporting a three carat ring and appropriate fillers.  Reunion?

Instead of making some snarky comment questioning anyone manhood I will just say I wish I could afford fine things like this. I work from home and just wear crocs with socks. But that’s some fine looking leather.

I have family in Hilo. So when I go somewhere tropical, it is Hawaii. Can someone tell me what 30A is?

Great looking shoes but there are more important things in life than shoes and keeping up with 30A people and whoever they may be…many of those properties were foreclosed during the 2008 housing screw up. I had some crocs and they were Allen Edmonds made of real Crocodile and guess what? They weren’t as good as my Thorogood Work boots at $350. They were not comfy at all and I had to go to Dallas to get them. Waste of time and money

Shell Cordovan is made of muscle fiber in Shell shaped pieces from the rump of a horse. Exquisite shoe material.
Even if I could splurge for the shoes, I couldn't afford the additional 20 to 50 Grand to fly to NYC to order a complimentary bespoke outfit from an Italian tailor.

Plus I gotta wear steel toed Doc Martin's just to know I can kick ass if necessary in Walmart and it's threatening parking lot where I have been hustled by a ho and chased by a car jackin gangsta.

Just don't use the Docs made in China. Rose Anvil had a field day with them. ;-)

luckily my employer lets me work from home 100% so I don't have to wear dress shoes

My pretentious neighbors up and down Sheffield and brackenshire will love this kind of junk

I would not wear any of those over priced footwear. Plus you would need a $5,000 Armani suit or sport coat to go with the leather. Do they not understand that tennis shoes are the style!

So its safe to assume "30A"

Is Northwest Florida's, a.k.a The Redneck Riveria, version of South Beach

I have a few pair of Allen Edmonds shoes and boots, no shell cordovan yet but maybe if I buy another suit… they are great shoes and many are made in the U.S.A.

Anonymous said...

I really want some of those shoes.
I also want a real Thompson Submachine gun.
Also a genuine flapper girl.
And a Duesenberg Model J.

to 6:28 you forgot to mention the classic Porsche 911 w/6 spd manual not the upgraded automatic≥

30A is where the Madison County fundamentalists take their mistresses to heavily mortgaged condos for the weekend when they say they are going to conventions.

Brotha, please. If it ain’t I-talian bespoke, I just say nope.

So, it’s time to unbox those twice-worn 1976 Florsheim Imperials, cordovan, and compare to the AE selections.

A Thompson is 20-65k, flapper girls are easy. Duesenberg Model J? You’re gonna have to save up for that one.

Holy hell this site is full of dudes who wear cargo shorts to church. Learn to dress yourselves and step up your style, for Pete's sake! I am amazed at grown men who brag about wearing Crocs to accentuate their PFG boneheads and sneer at $250 dress shoes while spending $250 on a pair of cheap ass Costa del Mar shades.

I just bought a pair of Grant Stone boots and love them. I get more compliments on them, especially from women. Take some pride in your appearance, Bubba.

Oh, and no one buys designer suits anymore. A nice suit these days is made to measure and cost way less than $5000, but I guess someone who wears Carhartt hoodies and cutoff sweat pants like John Fetterman getting dressed for the Senate wouldn't know about such things.

Nice. Didn’t realize Kingfish was so fashionable.

And I thought 200$ was to high for Justin Ropers or Red Wings

Those look like something Chokwe would wear.

Clothes, women and money don't make a man but, they do make him look good.

Hell, we won't need these in the nursing home but, I'm getting me a pair.

I bought two pair of A-E's in the early 1980's. I put shoe trees in them as soon as I take them off and I keep them shined. They are forty years old and they look great.

You goobs who sit around the house in your underwear and wearing Crocs, working from home, will look up one day and be sorry.

When you isolate yourself from the reality of the real world, you first become neurotic, then psychotic. First thing you know, you're punching holes in walls and your wife is meeting some guy for lunch every day.

But you're gonna get the same result if your life revolves around lusting after expensive shoes.

I much prefer the white shoes Cousin Eddie gave Clark.

Thanks for the heads up! Got the Higgins mill boot in natural, same ones shown above. Now we wait 9 weeks of crafting. Luckily I had just enough room on my credit card to charge.

Am I wrong for preferring the sporty brunette tomboy with b-cups who is high IQ and is actually fun to be with?

I wish shoes like this were made for women. It's hard for professional women to find classic, well-made leather dress shoes.

Meanwhile, Congress has imposed a dress code, thank goodness.

I love nice shoes but these are not my style. But I bought a pair of Red Wing chuckas and couldn't be happier. Expensive for me but they may outlast my remaining years here.

Wear or be a horse's ass is the apparent choice some here make. Mostly attorneys dress up in Shell Cordovan (equestrian leather).

This sounds just like that “y’all lifestyle” some fella on the radio round here is always blabbing about. What a lame.

I have no problem with someone who goes to 30A but someone who goes and puts a 30A decal on their car is pathetic.

Made me think. I read an article the other day and the vehicle most driven by millionaires is still.....wait on it.....the F150 Ford pickup.

OK, here's where I jump in. I lost interest in my husband's shoe closets, decades back - about the time I stopped finding clothing for him, at the old Steinmart Saks Sales, in Greenville. He never bought Armani. I bought it FOR him, because we were young and poor, and pennies-on-the-Dollar was all we could afford.

Nothing makes an athletically-built guy look better than does Armani. And Armani's suits wear like iron.

Armani delivers a fantastic product FOR THE MONEY. The same can be said for Allen Edmonds. They're considered BARGAIN BRANDS. But Armani and Allen Edmonds should not be worn together. Edmonds is for guys who look "All American". They're part of the Anglo-American clothing tradition (aka 'Trad'). Armani is for 'Exotics' like my husband, who looks distinctly 'Mediterranean' (he graduated to Brioni, many years ago). Sleek, Italian or Spanish loafers, are what he normally pairs with his Italian suits.

From what I'm remembering, guys who buy Allen Edmonds, order their suits at Norman Hilton and Southwick trunk shows - or buy 'Trad' suits off-the-rack, at Great Scott and The Rogue (or Barney's or Wilkes Bashford or the ubiquitous Nordstrom). My old Mississippi friends' husbands (who've graduated to Oxxford suits), pair them with shoes from Alden (traditionally, the only 'All American' step up from Edmonds). But they're white, which DH and I are not. And Alden seems to be having production problems, while Edmonds seems to be transcending labor issues.

But you COULD pair Oxxford with Edmonds, and you'd be OK. Armani's signature Wool Crepe will not mix with the highly tactile qualities of Edmonds. Too, the cuts/lines/silhouettes are incompatible.

As for your post, I'd like to point-out that "The Style" is irrelevant in venues like courtrooms. And "...any of those over priced footwear.", should be changed to, "...any of that overpriced footwear.".

As for Kingfish's description of the crowd who're currently wearing Allen Edmonds, I'm confused. Are those people being mocked? In a way, the description is accurate (although I'm wondering about the jewelry), in that it describes Second Tier types who'd probably dress in Second Tier Trad.

Kingfish said...

The shell boots probably go fine with jeans.

The post was written tongue in cheek.

Kingfish said...

12:32: Alden having problems probably because of that $30 million embezzlement. Small family-owned company. That had to hurt.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.
