Looking good in your cigars, man.^

Alot of us can't either. It's a deal breaker for me everytime.

But it has its fans.

Very nice my friend.

This is one of the best Aldens.

Super cool look DpprDr. Nice shine also.

I know it was discussed previously but I'd really like to see if "we" can get an order together for a six eyelet chukka.

King of the longwings IMO

Based on the Thor boot experience, we could probably get enough people together and find a reseller willing to work with us, but then Alden would take an indefinite period to decide whether to make it and then even longer to produce it. It's a bit discouraging. But I'd be interested in six eyelet chukka.

A potential first step is to contact the retailers who have offered them before (LeatherSoul I think) to see if they have orders in already

You can do pre orders for a 6 eyelet chukka on the plaza in #8 through J Gilbert.

Context just put up a pre order for the #8 tanker boot for $772.00 !

Thats just gross

I prefer the Leffot version with the leather midsole

Leffot's version also was $675 for the latest run...

I expect to see a ravello or cigar boot at $800 very soon

couple more shell pieces and I'm out the Alden shell game. need ravello and maybe cigar LWB, and the Thor boot if it comes to fruition.

 

from there on, I'll go rancourt or OSB for loafers and probably Carmina for calf offerings. 

Thanks! Haven't worn shell much recently so being more mindful about wearing them.

Leffot's Tanker was $720; was about to pick them up but found out I will move to MI and needed to be more conservative with the spending.

Anyone know of carriers of cigar shell boots?

Alden DC: straight tip on Grant
LeatherSoul: wingtip on Plaza, NST on Barrie

Any more? Curious about the cigar Indy. I am mainly interested in Barrie/TruBalance/Grant lasted boots.

Also interested in whiskey boots but those will be a LONG time coming...
