Pick another brand?
I think its similar to neck ties. People don't wear smart shoes as much.

When I worked for a bank, we had to wear suits, ties and dark leather shoes. Hair had to be tidy and beards not too long. The rules stated that you weren't allowed to start growing a beard. Went into my local Nat West recently and the male cashier was wearing a t shirt. An otherwise attractive female cashier in Lloyds has one of those hideous arm tattoos that looks like a sleeve. I suppose this reflects society as a whole.

Is that cultural appropriation?
Perhaps their ending the UK market was part of Liz Truss's Trade Deal.
Was Cherry Blossom one of her financial backers?
Cherry Blossom was the favourite in our house. British made rather than originally from 'down under' although I doubt that was the reason.

Second-born wears leather football boots, rather than the plastic stuff that is default nowadays.

When I was in South Africa, one of the car cleaners in the workshop was the blackest skinned person I had ever seen and have ever seen. All the other blacks called him 'Nugget'. When I found out it wasn’t his real name I asked why. They told me they called him Nugget after a particular brand of boot polish. I’ve just looked it up and 40 years later they are still selling it. https://www.pnp.co.za/pnpstorefront...ack-Shoe-Polish-100ml/p/000000000000224599_EA
Each to their own but I do wonder if the current trend to get multiple tattoos will be exactly that, a trend that will pass.
It's part of my Sunday ritual to put a shine on m'brogues. Glad i just got a fresh tin to last me a while...then i'm back to old fashioned spit n' polish, i guess.
