no.
in a perfect world they'd be ferraris. and if we did...
i would have the ferris bueller and NEVER drive it in the rain.
dubs would have a 488 and only drive it once a year.


Ha, ha.

That movie is classic.

Wow. I'd like to take those wingtip boots out for a nice romantic getaway. My naval boots would be pushing the pedals in the two-seater while the #4 are strapped in beside me. A spirited drive to the Berkshires, nice dinner at a country inn, the works. Strictly platonic, of course.


MrDv, no black cordovan collection?


It is only day 6.....


Ooh, man, those boots... (Especially the SW ones.)
MrDV, your collection of Aldens is stunning, but I see no chukkas. Now, I've only seen pictures of your shoes/boots and your pants, but I thought chukkas would go well with your style?
I love them, I first learnt about Alden when researching to buy a nicer chukka.

Your Color #2 and #4 collection is looking mighty fine. A whole set of unobtainables.

-Mike


Falling short of words, haven't seen this much color #4 and #2 together before this..Awesome collection @MrDV


"You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!"

thanks for the kind words gentlemen.
that chup collection is awesome!
no chukkas yet. i would buy the right pair if it became available.
only one black pair.
It finally stopped raining here in California, so here are some pictures of my new Black Shell Cordovan Cap Toe Boots on the Grant Last (4065HC) via Alden DC.
great boots dubs, really sharp.
that rain was no joke.
King PCTs x JCrew
I have two books at my bedside, Lieutenant, the Marine Corps Code of Conduct and the King James Bible. The only proper authorities I am aware of are my commanding officer Colonel Nathan R. Jessup and the Lord our God.

i'm i doing this right?

"You want the truth?" "I think I'm entitled to it" "You can't handle the truth!!"

Thank you for the kind words, gentlemen and you nailed it @MrDV

The funny thing about saying "ignore the socks" is that they become the very first thing we notice!

Love the boots, though!

Definitely the sleekest Moc Toe Shell I've put on. Just loved the first few hours of this new pair and watching the creases form :)

Good Morning Gentlemen,

I always say to myself; "I'm not gonna talk about this newest acquisition in the Alden thread..."

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't...

But these are supposed to ship out to me today:

LL


There, I said it, he, he, he, he......

(Mikes pics but not his boots...
