I've been away for a while. Any idea why AE had discontinued the Patriot? Don't get me wrong, I'm more than happy to collect seconds at $129. But this is a classic design in a last that fits me better than any other. What gives?- WICaniac

This is news to me. I did not think that the main retail locations ever sold seconds, nor did I think the outlets/Shoebanks ever sold firsts. But I don't see how this bears on the issue of getting a retail location to honor the Fathers Day sale prices early. As I understand it, this is a sale...- WICaniac

Seems like yesterday shell seconds were $300. Had I known, I would have bought every pair in my size!- WICaniac

RANCOURT & Co. Shoes - Made in Maine
The Rancourt SA I spoke to on the phone said that AE is the one brand that fits comparably. I intend to use the made-to-fit program, but I'd like to have some assurance that I will get a good fit and be able to reclaim by $50.- WICaniac

Speaking of eliminating the piping: the promotional materials for McGregors showed it, and the 2 pairs I ordered during the RDA promotion both arrived without it. I thought it was a defect and went to my cobbler, who was unconcerned. Has anyone received McGregor's with piping? Regardless, I...- WICaniac

Brooks Brothers: "Unfortunately we do not have an immediate replenishment date for the item you've mentioned. Please check back with us in a few months. " No matter, I'm in love with the Rancourts and can't be reasoned with. Can anyone affirm that Rancourts do, generally, fit like Allen...- WICaniac

RANCOURT & Co. Shoes - Made in Maine
Yes--I see what you mean. I suppose my preoccupation with the casual side of the spectrum (where my shoe rotation is quite weak) induced me to accept uncritically Rancourt's copy on these shoes and their versatility at the other end. I'll have to confirm that BB intends to restock their...- WICaniac

RANCOURT & Co. Shoes - Made in Maine
Sorry for not perusing 430+ pages of this thread in search of answers. I am in the market for shell penny loafers and have settled tentatively on Rancourt's weltline mode, which strikes me as a more versatile shoe than AE Patriots, Alden LHS, or C&J Harvards. I appreciate the Trad design of...- WICaniac

Thanks. Burgundy on leather sole. The SA at Port Washington just confirmed for me that they are corrected grain. Perhaps this is an inducement to get the shell!- WICaniac

Sorry if this has been addressed: did AE at some point upgrade the Kenwood from corrected grain, brush-off leather to fullgrain calf? I am guessing so based on the current Shoebank description--but it's a little ambiguous, describing the shoe as premium unlined calfskin AND "grain calf." What...- WICaniac

Brooks Brothers khaki's - which fit?
Women. Sorry for the zombie thread resurrection, but I'm hoping someone can compare the Clark fit to the Madison. I gather Madison is a fuller cut, but I'd like to know if I need to size up to fit comfortably in the Clark. 6'1" 205 with the thighs of a running back/downhill skier. I wear a...- WICaniac

You don't need to look out of place to look stylish. If I had to pick one pair of shoes, however, I'd choose LWB (McNeil or McGregor) in brown. They are Ivy/trad and can't look too out of place, and they work well with what you're wearing.- WICaniac

All the posts about MTO Shakers have prompted me to repost mine. For what it's worth, I too was inspired by cap-toed English boots. These, along with my new Moras in bourbon, are the most versatile shoes I own, as they really do work with everything from jeans to a suit.- WICaniac
