Oak Street Bootmakers
Those Trail Oxfords look great. The OSB Trail Oxford had been my go-to for years: the closest thing to the old LL Bean Bluchers, only the OSB has nicer leather. When Highland went out of business in 2017, OSB began sourcing these from Rancourt, and sadly the sizing changed. I would require a 12...- CommanderMcBragg

Oak Street Bootmakers
Yes. It's because the old Highland factory near Bangor--where they had been sourcing their handsewns from--closed up shop in 2017. Since then, Rancourt has been supplying OSB. I am a 13 per the Brannock device, but just as you found, the OSB mocs were a perfect fit for me one full size down to a...- CommanderMcBragg

Oak Street Bootmakers
The Oak Street Trail Oxfords had been my go-to shoe up until they switched to Rancourt as their supplier after Highland sadly went out of business in 2017. The new Rancourt-constructed Trail Oxford is a sloppy fit for me. I currently wear a vintage made-in-Maine blucher by LL Bean, but once they...- CommanderMcBragg

The 2023 Allen Edmonds (AE) Appreciation Thread
Dear imaginary friends of Commander McBragg: This is Commander McBragg's wife corresponding. I regret to inform all of you that the Commander has been institutionalized: When they finally whisked him away, he was sputtering gibberish about not taking away his white shoe polish.

The 2023 Allen Edmonds (AE) Appreciation Thread
My brain is sprained. We all spend too much time on our iPhones™ without stopping to smell the flowers; poignant commentary, yes, though here we are debating the 97 different shades of brown available on the Strand or which boot will be offered in non-corrected-grain Malted Cognac at the next...- CommanderMcBragg

The 2023 Allen Edmonds (AE) Appreciation Thread
Gentlemen: I'm going off the board here to solicit advice on a pair of ancient two-tone Bally of Switzerland shoes. The leather is like butter, and I have always had a soft spot in my heart for black/white spectator-type shoes. I wear these infrequently, but they got the assignment this...- CommanderMcBragg

Todd Snyder of New York
Regarding the so-called midweight TS/Champion sweatshirts with chest pocket in all these cool colors, can someone comment on Canada vs Vietnam sizing? Is one bigger than the other, or do they run about the same? Thanks...- CommanderMcBragg

Allen Edmonds rant ;)
I would offer that poo-pooing AE as "the ultimate lukewarm dress shoe" sounds really bad to the vast majority of working stiffs who have never paid more than $70 for a Kenneth Cole dress shoe from Macy's.- CommanderMcBragg

Well men... A few months back I was able to procure a pair of the Strand in the beautiful 100th Anniversary "Antique Hickory" finish. Unfortunately these came to my attention very late in the game, and though I am a 13D, the closest I could get in the last-batch blowout from AE was a...- CommanderMcBragg

Wow...those look fantastic. I have an ancient pair of the MacNeil in shell cordovan that I acquired a few years back through the popular auction site. The physical condition is nice--they have not been worn too much--but there are what I can best describe as an appearance of "hard water" spots...- CommanderMcBragg

***The official LVC thread***
LVC seems to have jumped the shark a few years back, but I'm still usually good for one item each holiday season. This woolen knit piece caught my eye a few months ago as I waited for the price to drop from $225. They are now blowing them out for $65, and I'm surprised the piece hasn't sold out...- CommanderMcBragg
