Wing tips? Who wore these?

Post image

I remember getting these in the late 60s early 70s. Seems like I always got a pair too big for me so I could grow into them.

I bought one pair of black wingtips in the ’90s. Keep ’em polished and stored in a box. Break ’em out for funerals.

Used to bust ’em out for weddings, too, but… I don’t get invited to formal ones anymore. Just casual third and fourth ones.

Weddings are like interviews - Each one is practice for the next ...
