    Unhappy Ghillie Brogue emergency

    Hey all i am in Silver Spring MD to do some scotch tastings in Baltimore and Annapolis today through Tuesday. I just unpacked my bag to discover I forgot my Ghillie Brogues. Anyone know where I can buy or rent a pair in the area on a Sunday? Or even just a pair of decent Black regular Brogues? Shoot me an email at malt_master@yahoo.com..

    Thanks!

    Because you're looking for something in a pinch, just run over to the nearest shopping mall and get some Rockport wingtips for about $45.

    Standard brogues (wingtips) are the way forward. You'll be fine with those.

    You could try the Scottish Merchant in Old Town, Alexandria. http://www.scottishmerchant.com/

    I don't know for sure if they are open Sundays but they sell kilt accessories.

    Nunn-Bush wingtips at a shoe discounters for those real emergencies.
    I've found that most relationships work best when no one wears pants.
