Vintage Bass Ad


The "Mac Daddy" of handsewn mocassins. GH Bass and Co was started by George Henry Bass in 1876 in a small wooden building in an obscure logging town. Soon its reputation for quality materials and workmanship spread the world over. Today that company is synonymous with the classic styling and just-be-yourself attitude everyone loves most.

Sebago Loafer

My "fetish" for shoes (loafers in particular) will never end! Here is a pair of classic SEBAGOS, circa 1960's. Pennyloafer with an unusual split-toe. SEBAGOS, as it was commonly know in the past, was traditionally hand-crafted in Wilton, Maine USA. Sit back and soak in this classic piece of footwear.
