Not sure if this is the right thread, but I heard that Kanayama is offering bespoke brogans in 5mm shell. Can anyone confirm this?

What does the term 'Brogan' mean?

All I could think of as well.

It's Bill. We have been had!

Brogans = brogue wearing bogans

For Australians only - someone had to do it, that's my excuse.

More of a commentary on the way he wrote, for instance,

"The abstemious Balzac was fond of the same drink, though
it seems to have acted upon his temperament very much as
laudanum upon others. When he sat down at his desk, which was at midnight, his servant used to place coffee
within his reach ; and upon this he worked till his full brain
would drive his starved and almost sleepless body into such
self-forgetfulness that he often found himself at daybreak,
bare-headed and in dressing-gown and brogans, in the
Place du Carrousel, not knowing how he came there, and
miles from home.
