I agree with Barrie...but both look great.

 

[JSO1]

Either is great, honestly I would choose based on which one is a more comfortable fit.

Both are great! MrDV has a good point, though I would also wear the Aberdeen with a nice pair of chinos. Heck, I'd probably wear Aberdeen with dark selvedge too (which is the only kind of jeans I wear...), but if I planned to mainly wear them with jeans I'd go for the Barrie.

Does one last fit better than the other?

Both fit well. 10 C in Barrie, 10.5 C in Aberdeen.
Will probably keep them both for now. Can always put on the marketplace later on.

Team Alden, just unpacking in my house and realized I have way too many shoes so going to be doing a bit of downsizing. If anyone is interested in the following rare makeups (all brand new), let me know via PM. I would rather they go to the community then be priced at exorbitant sums on eBay:

Cigar Leffot Indy - 10D
Whiskey short wings from Harrison's - 10.5D
Reverse chamois Alt Wein from Epaulet - 10.5C

Whiskey short wings from Harrison's - 10.5D

I would love these. Some please buy these and save me from a likely divorce!

My thoughts exactly!

I'm just glad he has smaller feet than I do...


...sorta glad...


Maybe "relieved" is a better word.

Except I'm not.

Happy to report that two new pairs of Aldens are en route to me! Nothing too exotic, but they'll make me happy.

Damn it! Too late

 

[TO Tie Guy]

I too am purging. Work has shifted into a more casual wardrobe and my wife and I are expecting our first child in a few months. I hope, for her sake, my future daughter doesn't have size 12 feet!
