    Recommendation for Quality Brown Ghillie Brogues?

    Greetings,

    Looking for well made leather soled brown Ghillie Brogues. May not need Crocket and Jones per se, but would like a well made long lasting Ghillie brogue.

    I would recommend gaelic themes. I have never worn a pair but a pair is coming to me in the mail and the pics I saw seem to show them to be very high quality, and they are the official supplier to the clan chiefs

    I have a nice pair tan leather ghillie brogues. I also have a pair of tan brogues. I find there are very few occasions where the "formality"of a daytime situation would dictate a pair of gillie brogues. Don't get me wrong, I love them, but my sincere advice is to get regular brown brogues for day wear.

    Thank you. I have a pair of regular brogues. I understand your concerns but as a piper it's more common to see the Ghillies than not.

    I would have to agree 100%. I love my pair!
