Nothing convinces you that you need something more than when it is sold out

Just opening the lid on my Dundees and peeking through the open end of the shoe bag was enough to make me order a third pair of cappuccino. I didn't even take them all the way out of the bag before I emailed Allison.

Hilarious! I hope to have mine tomorrow

Anyone here in love with the Norwich? I'm considering them in Brown shell. Anyone have pics of the shell version in the wild? Not sure if it would be redundant to pick one up if I have Alden cigar shell and color 8 PTBs. Thanks in advance...

If you acquire more walnut they will come.

That might be true of the folks here who understand the properties of the lighter shells and the probable color variations, but she has stated that they have had a lot of discontented customers because the shoes didn't match the pictures they saw when they ordered the shoes. So it seems that a lot of customers have been returning walnut because they didn't get exactly what they were expecting. I believe this to be the cause of their lack of interest in re-purchasing Walnut Shell.

I'm about to pull the trigger on some bourbon Hanovers:




$250 (down from $350).

Appropriate to wear with business casual at a law firm in Manhattan? What about with a suit?

I think those look cool, but the minimalism makes them stand out though. Not sure about the suit thang. I think those would look better in the summer paired with white or salmon pants.

When Allison goes in for her annual review she should just walk in, and say "I handle all of Style Forum” and walk out of the room. Instant bonus and raise!!

no kidding man... She knows all the right strings to pluck when it comes to this forum's members. I think a few years down the road this allen edmonds thread and it's followers could potentially turn into some sort of weird Allison worshiping cult. She's got us all in her pocket...

In a few years every post will end with a few of these

followed by "ALL HAIL ALLISON THE MASTER ENABLER."

Also, am I the only one who wonders what she looks like? don't want to get creepy or anything... but I'm not afraid to say the thought has crossed my mind...

Just e-mailed about a possible cappuccino MTO. Hoping you didn't get the last one!

What she should say is "I handle rydenfan". Instant CEO status .

Shouldn't you be drunk and watching the Saints game like the rest of your city???

Are shells included in shoe bank sale?

Someone will likely post for you. Mine shipped today and I'll post in a few days.

If I get Fifth Ave in Bourbon should I get the Burgundy or Dark Brown shoe cream?

Leather lotion and Bourbon polish

Hi guys,

I am sorely tempted by Allison's 15% off MTO offers and am considering a bayfield in cappucino cordovan with a Poron insole and Lug sole.
I need some sizing help.

I wear 8.5E in the 5-last, 9D in the 1-last, 9E in the Daltons, 9E in the 2-last (New Orleans and RL Saunders) and 8.5E in the 3-last (Neumora).
What should I get in the Bayfield?

Thank you so much for your advice and here's to Allison getting overwhelmed with new MTO offers lol!

Are there any awesome deals on a black boot right now? I have a pair of walnut daltons. Looking for something in black as well.
I thought I had a pair of beater black boots, but they were busted.

Cronmok or chukkamok?

 

[bucksfan]

I'd go 9E
