I'm not sure how I could have left out a 990 in my earlier recommendation. I suppose the absence of an AE Leeds steered me away from the Alden PTB. I definitely agree, however, I would go with the BB PTB over the 990. It's a sleeker version and the eyelets have grown on me.

Several ravello models have popped up on this thread over the past few months

Ravello LWB from Alden SF, Alden DC and J Crew
Ravello Chukkas from Alden NYC and Shoe Mart
Ravello captoe boots from Unionmade Goods

Just continue to follow the thread and some ravello will pop up

Also, the Ravello Day Tripper for Leffot in the past few months--I ended up with a pair, but still gonna hold out for the Ravello Brixton.

Anybody interested in a size 9.5 Ultimate Indy black? I'd love to trade them for a size 10 or 10.5 but whats the likelihood?

Dont give up. I got my hands on a make-up that I thought I would NEVER own, last spring. If there is something you are really keen on just check the forum DAILY. This group is the top when it comes to Alden and whats available.

Between ebay and the buy/sell forum here it's amazing what pops up. However the really nice stuff does get snapped up. And don't be afraid to spend some money of course...

First time poster, long time lurker.

I'm a Brooks Brothers associate and with all the recent Brooks talk I thought it would be a good time to chime in. If anyone has any questions regarding product offerings I will try my best to answer or at least find the correct answer.

Let me know if I can help.

I don't want to steal Mike's thunder. He said they'd be going up Friday.
It's worth checking for.

I wonder if these are the obscura boots in calf

Yep.

interesting! as one of the founders of the MTO that spawned this make up, i thought that it would have a medallion on the toe (the ravello make up did, as i recall), but this looks super sharp too.
