    THE OFFICIAL ALDEN THREAD FOR 2020 - SHARE REVIEWS, SIZING, ADVICE, AND PHOTOS.

    Gents, wondering how you handle the green oxidation thing around the brass eyelets? It usually happens to brass eyelets only but some of my boots with coated eyelets have this problem as well. It bugs me as I could never remove the green thing thoroughly, appreciate if you could share some...

    Leather Jackets: Post Pictures of the Best You've Seen/Owned?

    I like the fit of the DR except the sleeves length, I think the sleeves are at least 1/2 inch too short for my preference. But different people have difference preference on the sleeves length, if you are fine with the sleeves length, keep the DR!

    For my understanding, what makes the shell color 2/4/6/8/18 is base on the layers of dye used to dye the shell. A color 2 (Carmina's rubi) has 2 layers of reddish dye applied on it, while the world renowned color 8 is finished with 8 layers of that reddish dye.

    I doubt that, I wanted to customise a Chelsea boots in shell cordovan as well but they said they cannot do it. If they can make a exception this time, I will def make a amaretto chelsea boots. Perhaps there are some technical difficulties during the process? May be @Carmina could enlighten us.

    Lovely boots, looks like this from Leathersoul: https://leathersoul.com/2011/02/14/alden-shoes-the-vintage-jumper-boot-lsw/ They are not reverse chamois, reverse chamois is the suede side of the leather which is much more rough and neppy. They should be oiled nubuck aka smooth chamois.
