@Ross any updates on a restock date for these? Thanks!!

[Ross]

@chillmonroe We've got them ordered and we're probably looking at around this time next year - hopefully sooner but we're a little too far out to be definite right now

[Alex]

Anyone want to help come up with a new name for these (and the browns)?!

[Graham]

The Captain?

El Capitan to spice it up a little?

Because of the toe cap and you're the Boss?

Am prepared to be laughed out of this thread....

[Dagobah_Days]

@Alex A few ideas:

Citadel / Garrison / Sentinel / Spectre / Phantom

[Alex]

@Dagobah_Days these are nice, we are thinking maybe something less military due to the brogue toe cap...

[Kasi]

@Alex

Name them after Gospot or Fox something like
Fox brogue.

[Dagobah_Days]

@Alex The Guildsman / Highlands / The Baker Street / 221B / The Watson / The Lestrade

[Mizmazzle]

I like the “Gosport” name idea.

[Oaktavia]

The Weevil after Weevil lane next to IHUK.

Weevils are cool.

[Denman John]

@Oaktavia Great picture!

I do like the name that was suggested: Gosport, or The Gosport. It’s something unique in the boot world and has a connection to Iron Heart.

[Oaktavia]

@Denman-John yeah, The Gosport is a cool one and anyone who knows IH would know why that name was chosen. The Weevil on the other hand might not make a whole lot of sense. I just remember chuckling when I first read that street name on the map walking there last September.

[Giles]

Popular misconception is that the street is named after the Weevils that infested ships biscuits (which were made in Royal Clarence Yard). In fact Thomas Grant the guy who invented the industrialised process for making them, had our house made for him by The Admiralty. It was actually named after Weevil House which stood close to our house in the 18th Century, and which The Admiralty bought together with it's land to create the brewery, victualling and armaments yards....

[Oaktavia]

@Giles Oh wow, that is a neat bit of history I otherwise likely would never know. Every day presents new learning opportunities for the willing.

[Giles]

It's not commonly taught even in English schools........:-)
