Well I was in these in the early 90s with mullet in tow, unfortunately the mullet came back into fashion for a time but the ripples never did.

As long as they would fit a male with waist size of around 34, you have a deal. 

Well with mine you'd be getting two for one!!

Just visited those purveyors of fine apparel, Messrs Harris & Scarfe. They were offering "Hush Puppies" for around $90.00 which they informed me were reduced from $150.00 -FMD!!!  I am out of touch with the world, I need to get off the estate more often.

BTW Ethan, dc has a trophy collection of used underwear that also may interest you.

BTW 2. Any chance of desert boots in the Philippines SWWL? When are you taking off?

BTW 3. Those things that my old mate Stu featured above were generically called "Ripple Soles". I reckon I had a pair once but well before the 90's.

They were big in Adelaide in the 90s (as were and still are the mullet), where I went to school with Simon Goodwin (albeit a couple of years below).

Are you saying that you are unhappy with products you have purchased from our Uncle Bitter?

Services rather than products, Mable, but let's not go into too much detail.

After reading on here about his love of 'jolly good floggings', I think that is a very good idea.

Good for torps at recess in the yard.

bitters, if you are going the full monty i might have a vintage norwellan bluey duffle coat (complete with wooden toggles) somewhere in the attic. be excellent for rounding up those long-necked sheep of yours on a bracing winter's day at romsey manor . an absolute necessity for wearing with desert boots.

My word you have good taste dc. In clothing anyway!

How very sartorial of you Earl!

I must say I have been under   overwhelmed by the many generous offers above from d'landers trying to get rid off rubbish   going the extra yard to help out.

Now as to Ugg Boots, an elegant item to be sure, there are important issues of authenticity and verification that must be satisfied. A  genuine Ugg Boot must originate from Moe and thus the question of whether your urban self would know of such a worthy hovel  hamlet is raised. However, I realize you are man of honourable intent Earl so I would be happy to inspect the goods.

Might I suggest you send Conchita over to The Manor and I shall examine the pelt personally.

well i'm surprised at you bitters. surely an esteemed country squire like you would never ever be seen dead in any ugg boot not made from the finest alpaca hide. to think you would be seen abroad in footwear made from a lowly common sheep is unthinkable

the mind boggles at the impossibility of such a task, mable, but i should give credit for at least attempting it. although, having not seen the inhabitants of romsey village it might not be so difficult a task

I believe that there are authentication issues abound for the actual name "Ugg Boots"

I beleive that fairly ordinary looking females in ancestral times were made to wear UGG boots as a sign to all potentail suitors that they were in fact to be given a wide berth. The UGG in this case standing for UGLY! on the other hand the name "OG" Was afforded an unyeilding mark of respect. The reference to OG ( boots)  in this instance referes to women and in some cases men as being O ( Obviously) G ( Geared) so Obviuosly Geared is the correct meaning.

So there are UG Boots and OG Boots

There are or were also TREADS and what an item they were... Sandals with old car tyres as soles! Used to last forever no blow outs there uncle bitters!

I, myself have several pairs of OG Boots and certainly no UGG boots!

May I enquire Uncle Bitters what type you have or wish to procure??

Also Morticia Adams looked lovely in any boots!! Eh

Careful, DC, sounds like you are veering into Biffen's territory. He might send some associates to have a 'chat' with you.

At least we know now that he doesn't like to go commando, Mable.

Probably too much information.

I make exceptions for iconic products. The Moe Ugg is right up there with the Jackie Howe and Budgy Smugglers. The authentic used Moe Ugg is distinguished by slight stretch marks from contant insertion of the fifty pack of Winnie Blues.

A worthy point but, as mentioned above, the moccies lacked the practical advantage of being able to store the ciggies or hide the stash.

Pickett your depth and breadth of knowledge on this subject is quite astounding but, due to your lewd giggling over the lovely Morticia, I must refuse to do business with you. I have my principles you understand!!!!
