HI Fellas, i would really appreciate some thoughts.
Thank you.

i'm buying as much shell as I can comfortably afford before pricing pushes me out of the game. if you can get ravello or cigar, I'd say go for it. you can always get tobacco, black, 8 anytime

imo

most i've ever seen was 40% on jcrew for aldens. 30% is good enough ^_^

Really wish J.Crew carried some Aldens in narrow sizes so I could jump on this deal

Thinking of getting the snuff suede LWB from Jcrew... i have the boots and love them, is there a need for the LWB. I have no suede shoes... or should I by pass these and also return the Tobacco LWB and get a pair of Shell, say ravello or cigar... LWB or Boots?

I love shell. I really like snuff suede. Is your snuff suede boot a wingtip? If so, then I'd pass on the snuff LWB. If not, then give serious thought to the suede LWB.

But whatever you do, consider that JCREW right now has 30% off all Aldens. This type of discount almost never happens.

GAHHH dunno if i want LWB Suede boot or INDy!

 

[sevenfoldtieguy]



any guess on this last?

This shoe - the 994 - gets little play on this thread, but it is splendid nonetheless, as is its black shell brother, the 993. A couple of the most comfortable Aldens that I own ....

NVM got the indy, only thing in my size and remembered the LWB were calf.

 

[Coldsnap]

7H is 7.5 right?

Cool, I am a very happy puppy right now. Indys for $350, wait list till Feb but w/e. Wish the snuff was in my size

Question:

I'm highly considering the "Indy" boot, and am leaning towards the original 405 model. However, in a lot of pictures, i notice an almost burgundy/reddish hue either the 403 or 405 or maybe the jcrew 405 (which is a lighter version of the 403 as opposed to the 405?). I was curious, which version gives off that color?

And it's not the cordovan, bc you can tell when it's cordovan.

thanks.

No size 10's in the J Crew #8 captoe. Oh, well.
