tore out a speed hook and the leather upper while lacing up the boot. Can this be fixed ?
I think that can be fixed

it is just a bad dream that @mdubs will wake up from soon. "Honey I had a nightmare...I was spending money on overpriced BRITISH shoes....ugh...please don't tell me I bought a British cook book too!"
I'm the same loafer size as @mdubs
I wouldn't underestimate our Lone Star friend here. He has the potential to mount an Alden mayoral run himself someday! Especially since our incumbent has been moonlighting in British politics (Edward green) recently.
Believe me, no one here wants to wear the same size as @mdubs or @MrDV ... you won't ever get the various makeups available in 10 Barrie/TB or 10.5 TTS! Unless of course @TexasTexter , you are planning a heist in San Diego!
Ha ha ha... with maybe three or four more scores like this past one @TexasTexter might have a run at DA. For now, @mdubs is the William Marcy Tweed of Tammany Hall!
Too wet for Whiskey Shell today

Alright, after much searching I was able to replace my mis-sized whiskey LHS thanks to @JR Magat , who was actually on a wait list with Alden DC for a pair. He sent them my way and I am now forever in debt to him for his help in making it happen.
I'll start it off with a comparison to my Ravello LWB I wore to work when they arrived. They have an ever so slight undertone of olive and I love the color, certainly not the Raviskey I have seen a few pairs posted looking like. Little bit of streaking on the vamp of the left shoe and some blemishes here and there, not as clean a pair as the old but they fit great and I love the shade!
Final shot comparing my old pair and new pair. You can see the bit of olive tone compared to the old pair.
Greetings,
I've been a lurker on these Alden threads for quite some time. I felt compelled to share my only pair of Aldens (so far) because it finally stopped raining in Los Angeles so I can wear them again.
Alden 563s // Brooks Brothers Navy Flannel Trousers // Star Socks from Express lol
I wanted the Brooks Brothers version because I like the foxing on the heel, but ended up buying these from eBay at a good price instead.
What are the member's preference towards the foxing? I'm also seeking a pair of Whiskey Shell SWB - where do I start? Thank you all.
sighhhh so good.. one day again, one day
Mike were those from JCrew website? That must be the "good olde days"
So just to clarify, it appears that Horween's chamois and reverse chamois are both an oiled nubuck (top grain cowhide), and not genuine chamois (goat), is this correct?
And I read somewhere a day ago here that Nick said to use neatsfoot oil on it for the smooth chamois... I'm assuming the same oil can be used on reverse chamois?
Quote: I had always though it sheepskin as the Goat vairety from what I recall was banned years and years ago...seem to recall y shop teach in the 80's complaining you couldn't buy them anymore....of course I am willing to be completely wrong!
Still wondering speedhooks or no speedhooks. Which do you prefer and why?
Heads up folks! Someone posted Cigar Cordovan Plaza last PTB 9C on eBay starting at $600. Came up on my search this morning.
I have this shoe. It's great.
Leffot Snuff Suede LWB purchased off B&S a few years ago. Just back from the local cobbler who replaced the blind eyelets with antique brass exposed eyelets. I also switched to brown laces for a more casual look.
Turned out really nice, congrats!
What size are those eyelets?
Love the eyelets. I got a pair from J. Crew recently that has eyelets. I have to say that I love the snuff color in your pair, it's almost like copper. Did that happen over time?
