***The official Alden thread *** - Page 2901

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.

Yep.

Welcome

MrDV these are not alden but show an older shade . 30+yo hanovers [IMG]

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.

PSA: TSM has color 8 WT boots on the Barrie in stock in various sizes, including 9, 9.5, and 10. Act quickly, and good luck.

Thanks for the pics. I really like those saddles. I've handled vintage color 8, the colors can be amazing. I hope to find well aged exotics someday.

nephew,
i like your monks

nephew,
good looking whiskey

indeed, those are excellent looking monks.


sftg, thanks for the heads up.

Other retailers should take heed of how Mike takes pictures of his products. Epaulet is such a quality operation.

Anyone notice this:

SHIPPING
Our apologies, we cannot ship Alden shoes to addresses outside of the United States and Canada.

Seems like Alden is getting more ridiculous re: their already stringent policies (restrictions, really) of their retailers.

Thanks to johnnyrich7 I've managed to cop the J. Crew Ravello LWB with brass eyelets!

Agreed, the real world pictures really provide the buyer with an excellent idea of what they are buying. Compared to TSM leaps and bounds ahead.

Hi,

I am a comfortable fit in the 5.5D unlined barrie last. I have very narrow small feet but a horrible bunion that the barrie last accommodates quite well. The rest of the foot still swims in the shoes though particularly in the the heel. Its a small price to pay.

Will a lined shoe in 6D in a plaza last offer the same comfortable width ? Trying them on is not an option as I have to purchase them online. Any advice from guys with experience in these lasts would be greatly appreciated.
