here they are. fat and bloated. looks worse than Barrie. I cannot convincgly say that these are Plaza. If anything, they are a wide fitting. im telling you, something is awry and another Plaza on double leather. That looks like a Plaza:

one more time from the top. J. Gilbert "Plaza" and Leathersoul Plaza Both are size 12D

more plaza boots j.gilbert plaza with commando vs leathersoul plaza double leather

A new arrival... ....the final piece (or so I say now) to my shell-boot collection...Cigar Perf-Captoe (barrie last, leather sole, all eyelets, antique edge)...MTO courtesy of Alden-NYC. I now have #8, Black, Ravello and Cigar boots (and CXL)...with no real interest in Whiskey (or #4) (Sorry about the wrinkley floods...not really floods just showing off the boots...no excuse for the wrinkles)

hard to believe just 2 years ago alden could do single MTO

Newest Arrival: #8 Plaza Cap Toe Boot. Vamp stitching looks okay although there are several loose ends

Denim looks fantastic with the color 8 PTBs. Nicely paired.

Those shoes look beautiful! Patina is everything.

Sazon, I love your new boots sir. I was so bummed when I had to trade the black Leffot Naval boots for the #8's, and now I'm so happy I did. Did you just Mac those new slippers or did you cheat and use a little Alden #8 wax a la patrick_b to get that shine? Lol. Congratulations and wear them in the best of health my friend.

excellent ! Nice pick on the 3sixteens. I am a big fan of their denim. What model is that? I'm itching to get their new 17oz model soon.

I tried on the 17 oz heavyweight as well. The particular model I tried on was too tight in the thighs for me.
