I'm not sure mcarthur can be considered a "big homie".

Nice tumblr and good looking shells.

The better question is -- where the hell is Uncle Mac in all his photos?  Is he on a cobblestoned street somewhere along the Paris-Roubaix route?  

If so, the caption should read: "Ravello LWB, Argyles OTC, Roubaix UTF"

Hello -- I am brand new to this site.  I hope it is alright if I ask a question.

Just picked up my first pair of shell cordovan Aldens in black -- Medallion cap toe on Aberdeen last.  I noticed that towards the bottom of the tongue, where the eyelets are sewn into the shoe near the throatline, some of the medallion cut-outs look brown on the inside of the cutouts.  It is kind of a silly complaint, as it is only a few circles with brown on the inside, but I am curious if this is a manufacturing issue (cut outs are too deep) or if anyone else has ever noticed this and it is normal.

Thanks.

Paul

I estimate he is in the Northeast based on his mentioning of the weather conditions in some of his posts.  If I had to guess I would say NYC Metro area.  I have often wondered about his age, occupation and location, but decided its better not to ask, as it destroys the mystery.  In my mind, he has a cobble stone driveway.
