Not Aldens, but those who missed the #4 captoes might want to check these out from Epaulet.

I'd have to think he'd go with an English boot, C&J perhaps?

Shameless plug (but I'm doing it so these hopefully go to a Alden thread regular's home) but I listed my Leathersoul ravello shortwings (+some other Aldens) in the B/S section
Check/click the link in my signature.

Those are some coveted make-ups to be unloading. Is everything okay?

Unreal price on those cigar PTBs, if they were my size I'd be scooping them up right now.

Ok which one of you guys was in Isadora's in Seattle today (Friday). Nice captoes, appeared to be the #8 plaza's from J. Gilbert.

I think I'm going to call Sherman Brothers up, sounds like it's a 50% success ratio to try to get the sale price over the phone? At 15% off you're looking at $531.25 for a pair of Shell PTBs. I can't imagine a better deal anytime in the future, can you?

Any suggested accessories? A tree or anything else to go with my first pair of Aldens?

BTW I am probably getting #8 but originally wanted black...you don't think black is more versatile?

Thanks.
