All of this high-filter photography is great to scroll through.

Please note, alums, that there is still the time and place for massive, high-res, dslr shots as well.

But otherwise, carry on.

DocAlden, I'll run your file by the guys in the admissions office w/ a letter of recommendation.
These are beautiful. Great pant combo, good cuff, nice angles on the boots.

My color 8 boots after a shine session last fall. Poured on the contrast in post just for the El Argentino school of image editing

I am a fan of nicely saturated, heavy contrast images. It certainly has its place. Note, my attempt at mirror polishing the cap toe didn't last that long. I wanted to be able to dress them down. So after all that work, I applied a bit of renovateur and brushed them out. It removed just enough wax to reduce the mirror effect but still look sharp (IMO).

So many cigar boots, so little chance of the Thor boot getting made ... :fu:


I wouldn't be surprised if another run of the LS cigar jumper boots were made before the Thor boot is made. What was the last time a group MTO order was actually produced? The whiksey Indy boots a few years ago?

I'm getting the weird sensation that someone is trying to make me call Kathy at Alden DC so she can put me on a Cigar boot wait list.


They stock this boot in a variety of widths and reorder it quite a bit...this boot is one of Alden's must own boots IMO

Yeah, or even another run of the cigar boot on Plaza, which would actually be pretty cool. Or I too should get on the DC list; nothing against the commando sole, I've just been holding out for something else.

I inquired about these boots a month ago and they still had them in stock, just not in my size... Closest in stock was 9.5E. I suppose they could be all sold out by now.
