Ghillies w/ Ghillie Flaps?

[Nanook]

I often weat a pair of wing tip loafers like this, only black:



Almost as good as a pair of ghillies, and you can get them in narrow widths!

That's shoe (a variation of the "classic" late 1940s Alden tassel loafer) is among a style often called a "kiltie shoes" and has indeed (http://http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F0CE3DE1039F930A35752C1A9659582 60) a direct heritage to ghillie brogues (Lukas' obvious source of the tassels).
I wore many of these as a child too lazy to tie laces.

Alden continue to make some very nice models (in all widths and lengths) in shell cordovan.

The tasseled loafer was popular among we banker-types in the 1990s. I kept wearing mine until just a few years ago when I replaced them with an older-style, classic shoe, the oxford. I thought about wearing my old tasseled loafers with my kilt a few times, but preferred hiking boots for casual. I needed ghillie brogues for piping competitions, anyway.

And before that, with the high-school crowd of the 1960's. I kept wearing mine, too, until finally the shoe shop declined to re-sole them again.

Nanook, thanks for the NYTimes link. I especially loved "the delicious weirdness of having legions of Frenchmen trying to look like the Phillips Academy class of 1964."
