    That is really awful workmanship, and sadly not unusual for Alden today. I'd make my displeasure very clear to them and insist that they make it right. Simply amazing that they would even let those out the door.

    No pic, but I had my cobbler add a few stitches on each of my Indys. Had tongues that moved on all of them - none were shell.

    That's really bad…I would not accept that shoddy work.

    They are Alden/Goodyear co-branded soles.

    Yenni currently has a PTB preorder with that sole.

    Given Given the location in front, that would drive me nuts. Those should have never gone out as firsts. In fact, the welt stitching on that pair is a complete mess. Send the pics to Alden and see if they can fix in a way that doesn’t make the problem worse.

    Eva, I know the Epaulet x American Trench waxed cotton jacket didn’t sell through as well as you hoped, but damn that thing has become my second-favorite jacket, right behind my Epaulet x Aero minimalist custom model. The dark olive goes with anything, the length and fit are perfect, and its...

    Thank you...I know that they're rare but since I've seen unglazed #2 and Cigar, I was just checking. Thanks again.

    Is anyone aware of any Alden shoes or low boots currently offered in unglazed Color 8? I recognize I can strip the glazing, but would prefer it to be unglazed from the start. Thanks!

    You don’t need to remove your shoes. Just ask to go through the scanner instead. I do this weekly with Precheck.

    Hi all... Wondering if anyone can recall an Alden offering crafted from a dark burgundy suede or nubuck. I've lately been interested in a shoe or chukka in this type of leather, especially since I now more frequently wear casual styles. I'm thinking of a very dark burgundy - sort of the...

    Do not ever - EVER - order Aldens online without being properly fitted first. This is especially true with loafers.

    AoM should be fine...but be very, very confident that you get the right size. Loafers are the toughest shoe to fit correctly, initial heel slippage will likely improve a bit but not completely if they aren't a perfect fit, and wearing thinner/thicker socks isn't really an optimal solution. Go...

    Very sad. Nordstrom used to carry a line of gabardine Hertling suits in a variety of colors, and I had one of each. The drape, cut, and construction were outstanding.

    Would not have shocked me at all if those were new and sent from Alden in that condition or close to it.

    Never, ever try to buy a loafer without proper on-site fit first.
