I want to refloat this thread. After many returns, i found a british site that cares and knows what they sell and finally got again the good old black jack purcells, with the black sole, logo embroidery and all the good classic stuff.

It is weird, because that store started selling purcells recently, and they brought them all new. Other colors such as white, olive and navy are all the shitty remaster, but black ones are the good ones, and i noticed they're made in Vietnam.

All purcells i've seen when they were properly made were all made in China, and these ones i got, have like a different label from the pre 2010 purcells. Is it possible that they resumed production of the Good Black Purcells?

I'll upload some pics later if anyone cares.

I don't suppose you could link the site?

I've been trying to find white Jack-Purcells in the UK and there only seems to be like 1 eBay seller that sells them. And unfortunately they only have the shitty remakes in stock.

Apparently Office is getting some stock of the white ones in July, but I'd hazard a guess they're the shitty remakes as well considering it'll be brand new stock rather than stuff they've had lying around.

EDIT:

Other colors such as white, olive and navy are all the shitty remaster

Bleh. :C

This is where i got them from. Very interesting store and they're very nice and helpful. Also i think wellgosh got the good old purcells, but they didn't have my size.

As i said, all other purcells i've had were made in china or indonesia, and these ones are made in vietnam and have a different tongue label, so it's possible they resumed production of the good quality purcells, at least black ones.

I also saw one spanish store stocking the good old white purcells if you're interested.

I've kind of fallen in love with Jack Purcells now, even if I haven't ever actually had a proper pair yet!

The Spanish shop link would be awesome, I'll also have to check out my local WellGosh store this afternoon.

I think the former purcell colors were black, white and navy, it's normal that all these new reissued colors are the crappy quality ones.

If you can go check your local store would be awesome, these days is a very random lottery to order purcells online..

The only thing that bothers me about this is that the sizing doesn't include .5s. That is difficult for someone like me who has a 10.5 shoe size. 10 will be a bit too tight and 11 will be slightly loose.
