Holy moly Pam127.

This just dropped today. If you missed out on the preorder, there are some sizes left, but they won't be around for long. Check out the remaining stock here
Good luck!.

The camera always makes these a little redder than they are:

A cool day here, only 105. My boots and tie shoes are up in the closet bagged until late Oct.
View attachment 805553 View attachment 805554 Got my 44623H boots today a day early. Beautiful boots, and I agree that when I photograph them the red comes out more than in real life. They are a beautiful shade of dark tan. Pardon the quality of photos. The lighting is making it look like my left boot is darker than my right boot, but I assure you they are the same.
View attachment 805563 Here's a comparison with my AE natural shell Daltons. The color is nearly identical, but Alden clearly wins on appearance. I think the Daltons fit better....they're 8.5E and the Aldens are 8D, but the Aldens are noticeably longer, not even counting the storm welt. 7.5 E on the very last is probably where I need to be These would work, but I have to make up my mind and decide if I want to keep these, or experiment with a 7.5 D since I doubt I'll find an E width. If I do keep these, I would sell my Daltons.
Haven't posted in a while, here are some Dovers in the beautiful beautiful office light:

Took a flyer on some Shoemart seconds kudu chukkas. Love this leather. I was surprised to see what looks like norvegese welting though. Pretty sure it's GYW but there's two rows of stitching on the welt. These are Cape Cod Collection. Anybody know more about this line? Does Alden do norvegese?

I believe they used a different stitch out of the Maine factory. For some reason I am thinking they did a Blake stitch.

Thanks Mike. Definitely not Blake. Number of websites (including Shoemart) state GYW. Model is 1272S. Given the upper row of stitches what else could it be but norvegese? Whatever it is, it was a pleasant surprise.
This is my first post, but I've been a fan of the forum for many years. The collection started with a pair of 405 and has grown to 8 pairs.
405
Cigar Chukka - Alden SF
Cigar Officer's Indy - Epaulet
Color 8 4070h - Alden SF
Tobacco LWB - Alden JCrew via eBay
Ravello PTB - Alden SF
Whiskey SWB - Harrison Ltd
Cigar LWB - theshoemart
I've been lucky enough to pick up the last 3 pairs of shell in the past 3 months. You can really see the difference between whiskey, ravello, and cigar. I'm not sure how I feel about the ravello...I would probably like it more with an antique edge. I bought them anyway, thinking that I would regret passing them up. I still think about passing up whiskey chukkas and PTB at Alden SF (years ago when I bought by chukkas and had to decide between the three) and a whiskey shortwing bal from Alden D.C. (just last year)
Believe it or not the cigar Indy was my 2nd choice. I had purchased a pair of Black and Tan indys from epaulet and was disappointed that the shoes had a black cork sole instead of red as pictured on the website. I ended up returning the shoes and picking up the cigar indys.
My cigar chukkas are fresh from restoration and are a little darker now that they've been refinished. I forgot to take before and after pics. Now that I got them back, I should have had the heels replaced locally and left them original.
I will probably stop buying shell after I pickup a black cap toe boot (4065), Whiskey PTB, and King LWB!
I will be wearing one of the new pairs in a few weeks on my wedding day...I just need to decide which pair.
Enjoy the pics everybody.
I just realized that I have a duplicate box for my chukkas in the pic, since I just got them back from alden. I don't the original box for my jcrew lwb.
It's not norvegese. That's just how all Alden storm welts are pre-stitched. It's usually not as noticeable when it's black thread against black welt.
Sorry but I want to better understand. Pre-stitched? Thanks.
Beautiful Boots!View attachment 805898 Good morning Gents. Back in Black today. Alden 4065.
