I don't (yet) own a pair of these, but I'd definitely wear them with jeans if I did.

Absolutely. JGilbert's plaza lasted color 8 boot on the commando sole is my favorite high boot make up. I have various models in that make up. And I wear them all with jeans, and of course with many other things as well.

Those look great, I want a pair.

Great looking shoe uncle.

Good advice here.

I wear my snuff suede unlined pubs without socks in the summer all the time.

This is a great boot from Jgilbert. I own it. You should contact Yenni to check if/when they are doing it again.

 

If all you have is LSBH you're not doing too bad  .  .  .

It's about an hour away though. I stopped by a couple of times to chat with Brian. Haven't bought any footwear yet.

 

An hour?  That's nothing.  I'd love to be an hour away from an Alden dealer (usually I have to get on a plane).  Bryan and Joel are a pleasure to deal with. I hope to get back out there next weekend.

 

Best of luck.  And I like your photos.  I'll have to learn how to use the timer on my camera.

They also have couple C&J models. A very nice store.

Thanks to both of you for the feedback; will do.

 

Seven - Show us some picks of BNelson's work on your Cigars.  I was thinking of doing the same thing, but since I have the RL Marlow with the dark edge, I probably won't.  Still curious though...

Agreed. I think I had grabbed the 8D cigar capote from DC last week and it was you who was also looking at it. For frame of reference I returned it as it was a bit too tight for me, probably needed an 8.5. Getting an exact sizing on Alden can be difficult. I also tried an 8E in the Chukka and it was just a bit too big for me. I feel confident now in an 8D on the Barrie. With that being said my #8 wingtip Barrie boots area bit on the snug side and I might consider Barrie boots in an 8.5 in the future. My Indys are an 8D as well; I know most people size down but mine fit pretty well but a bit loose. I do wonder how a 7.5E would fit in comparison. It is just so difficult to truly know...

Same here.  Very versatile boot

Wanted to share pictures of my PTB's in the sun

I'm curious about Plaza-lasted boots -- as far as I know, there's one from J. Gilbert (#8 Captoe boot) and one from Frans Boone (Ravello Indy). Does anyone know of other Plaza-last boots?
