    Ah, another example of shoe terminology being inconsistent! I've never heard the term "punch-cap". The first example of shoes in your last post would be called semi-brogues or half-brogues according to this guide. If they are plain cap-toes with broguing only at the edge of the cap (example at the left in your last photo), they would be quarter-brogues.

    Yes I've seen that too, the top shoes would be called "half brogues" as you say.

    About tan shoes, they do appear in MacLeay, but only as ghillie brogues.

    Also some of the other leather items (dirk belts, sword belts, sporran cantles, dirk sheaths) appear in tan.

    I wear cap toes like the ones below quite often with daywear. They have plenty of room in the toe where I need it.
