I assume by well heeled you mean rich?

Many people have money, but having money doesn't automatically make you a gentleman. Many people think of themselves as high class if they sip tea and use straight razors but straights were used by the common factory worker. If anything, it makes them look snobby. I have 2 Thaters and 1 Simpson Chubby 2 in Super in my collection that I have acquired recently but other than the fact that they are eye candies I cannot but feel a bit disappointed in myself for letting me spend so much money on them. Obviously I can't return them after having used them. As long as it gets you from A to B who cares. Cheers
