I acquired this pair of Alan McAfee wingtips a few years ago at a local thrift shop, but never took the time to find out that they even were Alan McAfee's till a few days ago! For the longest time I thought they were Allen Edmonds! In fact, the only way I found out was by examining the extremely faded logo on the insole (see the last picture). I'm considering getting them re-crafted, any suggestions as to where considering they're a "deadstock" brand for lack of a better term? I'd also appreciate any additional info on these particular Alan McAfee wingtips if anyone has that background knowledge as well. Cheers!
