    ***The official Alden thread *** Share enthusiasm, reviews, sizing, advice, and photos.

     Nope, it's just Alden's way of hooking you in. Their reinforcement schedule is worse than gambling.

    Brooks Brothers Chukka Quorn maker?

    I know this used to be made by Alfred Sargent although I thought BB stopped using them as a manufacturer. Anyone know if the current chukkas (item #703H) are still made by AS or someone else is making them now?

    Edward Green Appreciation: Pictures, Info, and Where to Buy

     Question about EG's various colors (outside of the typical black and brown ranges). How are these colors applied on the shoes? I assume alcohol or water based dyes are standard but are acrylic paints used by EG to establish the more varied colors (e.g., slate)? I ask because I had a...

    First Power Suit

     A great tailor will go a long way. I would allocate some of your budget to alteration costs. Generally when I buy suits I make sure the shoulders and length are right since tapering the body is an easy fix. I am sure SF will provide some good recommendations. I typically try them out...

    Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.

    Do both the MA and BK store carry the same selection of Carmina? If not, which location has a better variety?

    Shoe width change by the factory during refurbish?

    I've had a pair of shoes for some time that will need re-furbishing/resole soon. However, I initially bought a UK G width and realize it is too wide. Can the shoe be worked on/re-lasted on a UK F last when I send it back to the factory? I know that means it would need to be re-welted...

    Boot buying advice

    When it comes to the non-shell seconds, I would say the extra cash is worth it to get a brand new pair. Styles such as the 403 do not show up to often then you have to gamble on the imperfections (which range from minimal to horrible). IIRC, the standard 403 is on a neocork sole and note...

    Boot buying advice

    If you are looking to keep it under $400 and you are in the States, you can pick up some Allen Edmonds boots. You can also pick up some Tricker's, Alfred Sargent, or even Barker or Cheaney. Technically they are not "waterproof" but I have worn similar type of boots (I have C&J Islay and...

    view on Alden long wingtips - calfskin or cordovan?

    I have read various discussion about this issue (much from DWF) but from what I surmise, the "gemming" or losing shape is primarily an issue when the original last is not used for the resole. So, I assume that by having them resoled using the original last (basically by Alden themselves), this...

    view on Alden long wingtips - calfskin or cordovan?

    Alden on Madison would probably have the largest selection of sizes, especially if you go wider. Moulded Shoes and Citi Shoes are other options. Leffot carries Alden but I am not sure if Steven carries them in E. If you have yet to try the Barrie last, I would definitely get fitted...

    I Am Interested in these Double Monks - Any Thoughts Much Appreciated

    Good shoe, the semi-brogue is a nice change of pace. If you like that detail, then go for it!
