how has jcrew been as far as exchanges go on aldens? I ordered the #8 captoe boot and wanted to try going up half a size but I used a coupon with the shoes. will I be able to do a straight exchange or will I lose the discount?
I have never heard of a company not honoring a discount on a straight exchange. It would be, at once, illogical and absurd. You will be fine.
Finally got my first pair. J Crew snuff plain toe boot. Extremely comfortable right out of the box.
Has there ever been/will they ever make black suede plain toe boots?
A couple pics of my cigar plain toe boot from Frans Boone (barrie last). These have quickly become my favorite Alden to put on. Its worth noting that these are a much darker brown version of cigar than I have ever seen. I kind of like the darkness because it is so much different in tone from my cigar indy's and cigar PTB. Also I assume that these will lighten up over time and develop a great patina.
^ Yep, Barrie. 10.5D. If I decide to give them up, I'll offer them to this thread before I send them back to TSM. I don't think it'll happen though. They're kind of awesome.
