they are very comparable in beefiness, but the shape of the polo is much more elegant. that is the rub with alden for me, the lasts are just too blunt.

I'm loving my Darltons. The fit is right on, the shape is great, even the creasing is perfect. I'm wearing them as often as I can, every other day.

Love the new Vass monks VR!

What trousers would you wear these shoes with? I imagine navy would be overkill, so maybe dark grey?

Those are rocking shoes Von Rothbart!
