These are sharp and I have some brown shell Strands inbound. What custom touches did you do with these MTO? I really like the natural (vs brown) edging. What else?

Thank you very much! These were NOS when I bought them (online) so I wasn't able to complete the customizations myself, but it's everything I could've asked for.

Brown shell really shows well.


They are Jefferson 1.0 (superior pattern in my opinion), Indy lining with the softer insole. Natural edging and wheeling/fudging (kicks it up a notch).

Also they are a double Indy sole which I have never seen before. They also have the AE badge in the arch of the sole that's attached with metal screws and a brass plate.

Not my photo, but my sole looks like this:

versus the new Indy line:

Also, I think that they are a true dovetail heel, instead of the half heel like the ones shown.


I think they are probably an early 2010s makeup...

Nice! I love the transparent sole edging. I wish that option was more readily available from AE outside of a trunk show. I ordered some brown shell Stands...wish I could get that option on standard orders.

Most of you have likely seen it, but AE will be holding a shell cordovan trunk show starting October 29. Notably, shaved black and natural (!!) shell will be available. Details at https://www.styleforum.net/threads/...clothing-accessories-etc.677444/post-10857508 and @ae_ashley is AE’s rep on styleforum.
