***The official Alden thread *** - Page 2317

The paint has come off several of the eyelets on my #8 BB wingtips.
And the paint didn't chip off either. It's like the whole ring of it came loose. Looks like there's green oxidation on the brass too.
That's the only pair of Aldens I have with that problem.

Hmmmm, not as bad as I expected after the smurf comment. I'd still call them closer to royal blue than navy. Do you think they will get darker with more spray? Are they dry in the pics? I bet they get off the shelf every once in a while.

I believe he has mentioned in the past that he is a CPA.

I know that he seems to disappear in March and April leading up to tax day and if he is anything like my wife, and has some government clients, foundations, or non-profits, this could be another busy time of year for him since most of them close their books September 30th.

There's nothing like words of encouragement ....

But in the interest of full disclosure, I couldn't do that either.

Good luck to Namor.

Interesting.

I've never had this issue with my eyelets.

 

I wonder what will happen the first time these get wet... 

Namor, you should have tested that with these, they are even in your size:

My first pair of Alden's.......

 

Oxblood Brixton Boots...   Was really worried about getting the size right but I think I nailed it.

 

 

First inspection.

 

 

 

Gonna go put a few miles on em.

 

Hope this doesn't become an expensive habit...

Nice boots.

Even the dog appears to approve.

^ Looks even better with the Gibson SG Standard!!  

Everything about these pictures is great. Where did you get the boots?

^Agreed. I have an SG Special that highlights my color 8s. Could use a little abelone inlay in my life.

Good to see many boots in recent posts, fall weather is here! My cigar indys:

 

 

 

Very nice. Enjoy those. From Epaulet, yes?

Yes
