Veteran Bring Back Japanese Type 96 Sextant-This is a very nice WWII Japanese Navy Type 96 Naval Sextant, known in Japanese as the 九六式六分儀改一 (Kyū-Roku-shiki Rokubungi Kai-Ichi or 9 6 Type Sextant Revision 1), which is marked on the side of the wooden case's metal data plate. The date plate also gives serial number 2179, as well as an issue date of  Showa 18 (1943) 11th Month (November). This was made or distributed by the Tamaya Shoten Co. Interesting that Tamaya Shoten was one of the first Japanese companies to import surveying equipment from overseas and to distribute them in Japan. Sextants were used on ships for celestial navigation, as well as other angular sighting needs. They were a tried and true method of navigation that had been used for centuries. By WWII Sextants were quite modern in design, with attached handles, lights, sun filters, and other accessories. However, the basic design remained unchanged. The sextant is in excellent condition and appears to be fully operational with clear optics, multiple colored filters and functional adjustments. It has an integral bakelite battery compartment / handle that also can plug into the electrical system of the ship with the included cord.  It has a standard sighting telescope with two different sliding eyepieces, as well as a longer range prism sight, both of which mount into a dovetail on the sextant. This is really a high quality piece of workmanship. The wooden transit case measures 11 ¾ inches square, and 6 ½ inches tall. It is in very good condition, though there is scuffing throughout. A great piece of Navigational Equipment that would look excellent in your display! Be aware that the top is a bit tough to open.

Exact item ordered, quick delivery
Size: 9.5, Color: Black Polished Full Grain
I ordered these black Cole Haan penny loafers for casual wear with jeans, khakies, and even business casual with slacks and a jacket. They've always worked perfectly for these uses. The Cole Haan version is the most versatile and still meets my sophisticated look criteria. I wear a 9 1/2 M with almost all other shoes. I have found Cole Haan to run slightly wider and slightly shorter. This fit will work with thin and no socks and a little loose in width. . I'd likely order a 10 N next time. I tend to forget this but it runs consistent with me for Cole Haan. 5 stars for the shoe and service. My bad on the slightly off fit.

Poor quality control - maybe outlet store leftovers
Size: 11.5, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
The two shoes were not the same size. They were both labeled 11 1/2 but one shoe was larger than the other and the fit was poor. I returned the first pair and ordered a replacement. This time the shoes were close to the same size but too loose and the left one has sewing issues. I've bought Johnston & Murphy for years because of the quality. These were to replace an existing pair of burgundy penny loafers that have finally worn out (even after several heal/sole replacements). That is the expected quality. I suspect Nashville Shoe Warehouse may be handling shoes that didn't measure up for the quality; more like an outlet mall than getting the J&M quality I've come to expect. Update: went to Johnston & Murphy site to buy "direct" from the manufacturer. There were several recent reviews where the shoes were long and didn't fit properly. Genesco - please step up the manufacture / crafting of these classic shoes to the level of quality they used to have.

Really nice shoes
Size: 9, Color: Black Polished Full Grain
My husband enjoys wearing these shoes. Very classy looking. They fit well. They arrived quickly. He liked them so much he ordered another pair in a different color which have worked out just as well.

Way too narrow
Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
I ordered a wide in this shoe, but it was still way too narrow. I had to return them. Otherwise, it looked like a nice quality shoe.

I usually wear 11.5's, but I buy 1/2 size smaller to accommodate for stretch. Leather relaxes.
Size: 11, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
5 STARS: These shoes are awesome. I keep coming back for more. I have major foot problems, have tried all kinds of shoes, orthotics, and inserts... but believe it or not, these shoes work better than any of that stuff. I wear them daily. I buy lots of them, for home, for church, and I'm getting my first pair of J&M boots today, for winters in Indiana... Brrrr
