    Gents, my Cordovan chukkas seem to be ready for their first restoration (or resoles). They've seen twice a week wear for 21 months, before a small hole has started to show on one of the soles and the heel pads show major wear towards the back. I don't know how worthwhile the entire restoration...

    Yes, that was me. Called Alden factory and they confirmed TB, as did Brooks Brothers in a follow-up email to/from Alden. These are indeed described as tan, but they are the familiar "snuff" medium-brown color. Very, very comfortable, and the brass eyelets really pop, but I must admit I'm not...

    So you have the boot? Cool. Any "in the wild" pics you can share?

    Spoke with the Alden factory and they confirmed that the Brooks Brothers suede boot is made on the trubalance :)

    Thx, Mike. Thinking about pulling the trigger on these...would be my first suede AND crepe-soled Aldens. What to do, what to do? hmm.

    Are those definitely made by Alden? No explicit indication anywhere that I can see.

    Thanks, Mike. That's a great point. This puppy went from "natural" to "medium brown" in 3 days! Great packaging too, btw.

    Loving my Horween Natural Chromexcel front pocket wallet from Ashland. Highly recommend. Indirectly Alden related, but thought you guys would appreciate it.
