The London Lounge

Happy 2012 to all. This is what I planned to be my first posting after ages of lurking in the dark : Not sure I will be able to copy paste the images though.
This is a pair of boots in oiled boxcalf leather natural color the work of Polish shoemaker Pan Sivisky. My apologies for not being sure of the precise spelling. They were made in the seventies of the past century and they proved to be instant recognition far away from Poland, something not very reassuring in the days of the Cold War.
Here are a couple of pics of the work. Sole stitching Heel
And since three pics is the maximum allowed I beg to take leave for I am not sure if a second posting on the subject would be considered proper. Your comments are most welcomed. Cheers.

Dear Castiglione,

outstanding boots, very nice! Please post more pictures!

Many thanks, David

Dear David. Thank you for your enthusiasm. But...am I allowed to? I am new to the club and I would not like to step on anybody´s toes. Somebody let me know the rules, please. Is it acceptable to go for a second round given that 3 attachs are the maximum allowed per posting?

Dear Castiglione,

Welcome on board and happy 2012 to you, too! The boots look outstanding. Please feel free to post more pics, the limit is per posting, not per poster
Alternatively you can use an image hosting service, such as www.imageshack.com, upload the pictures there and link them in your post here by copying and pasting the address provided by the hosting site. Then select the picture address line in your post and press the "Img" button above the editing window, which automatically adds the [img]and[/img] tags, so they can be viewed here.

Dear Costi. Thinking of you right now for I have found an alternative to the Peter-like majestic keyholder you so famously-and wittingly-offered the members of this club. I will try to post it in a near future. Concerning the boots, definitely Pan Sivisky (may have been Czsywisky or other spelling) did not cut boots for the masses. IMHO he made boots for people who are in history books right now. Happy memories and some falls, as usual in riding life. Anyway to go to a web hosting seems a bit daring to me. I will stick to the old order and try to go on posting pics. Thank you for your time and attention. (Bow)

More pics. The last The frontal union (don´t know the technical name) And finally the way the boot was used with the thick sock showing. (Military inspiration, practical in the inclement Polish winter) In short, these were my winter boots meant to be used with heavy socks. Have another pair in the fabled Freudenberg (bought it myself) for summer, thinner and black. But I still have to find them.
I was planning to post the trees too for they are very special. Feel free to ask for close ups or specific details. I had some bespoke shoes in my days but I am not a pro therefore do not be shy when elaborating. (Bow)

Dear Costi. I have been trying to find your sublime post with St. Peter holding the keys of the Kingdom. To no avail. Given my unability to go there where this posting belongs I post it here: I offer as an alternative to such a majestic institution the following link:
http://noblessedenaples.com
In the chapter of complements you will find a key holder under this description. "Porta chiave chiodo romano orig 1 secolo DC testa oro 24 kt. " At least it is contemporary of the above mentioned Petrus. BTW, Noblesse de Naples has a Naples outfit which I found and seem unable to find again. On another key. I have been trying to find the posting on the King of Spain petticoats on a hunting party in England (the quote is from the late King George upon seen Alphonse the XIIIth). Just trying to help since I am in the position to explain the apparently obnoxious royal tenue. Would you please let me know? Thank you.
