Talked to Kathy this morning & no news. Kathy will send an email out either way as soon as she knows anything on the Thor boot.

Thanks for the update. I'm thinking 2015 is probably a good estimate for when we can expect it

Is it too late to get in an order?

I just found this forum!

Talked to Kathy today & submitted the list of interested parties in the "Thor" boot to her. Under her recommendation we closed the order down to the 35 people who have already expressed an interest by PM'ing me.

Kathy will need the names of the people who are interested. You can PM me your names & I will correlate them and send them to Kathy or she will email everyone & get them, either way will work. Once Kathy has all the info she will write up the order & send it to Alden. Alden will them confirm it or not (Kathy was inclined to think that it will get confirmed), then it would go into production once the cigar shell is available. ETA on this boot worst case is 1 year, Kathy was hoping for next spring.

Since Kathy is nice enough to take MTOs from us I ask that everyone who has expressed an interest is a serious buyer. Cost in my estimation would be $710, plus factor in the usual January Alden price increase of 5-8%, & it comes to $750-775, ballpark.

One thing to note, while this is an MTO Alden doesn't always follow instructions very well and have in the past changed specs on a make-up without Kathy knowing (case in point the whiskey Indy MTO). If this happens and say something is changed I hope that we all can be understanding and don't leave Kathy holding the bag on these boots. If we keep a good relationship with Kathy I could see 1-2 Alden MTOs a year coming to fruition.

Any questions or anything that I missed?

This boot is deserving of an MTO

"... they are the Black Pct boot from Moulded shoe on the Modified Last. I had them resoled by Nick at B. Nelson shoes to duplicate as close as possible the RRL Madison boot sold at the Grand Opening of the London RRL store...I think they came out pretty good..."

Any updates? I think it's been 3 months since the last checkin with Kathy. I doubt there's any news or we would have heard.
post #357 of 358
Kathy emailed me this morning with an update, nothing new. Alden hasn't confirmed the order yet. Kathy will let me know if anything changes & I will keep everyone posted as soon as I know anything more.

Thanks for the update. I'm going to try and forget about this, so that if Alden confirms this a year from now (with another 2 years for production), it will just be a nice surprise!
