I have a pair of black captoe boots on the grant last w double leather soles. Got them from the Madison Ave store. They are extremely versatile. I can wear them w jeans or slacks at work. Nobody at work believed that they were boots until I showed them.- marg

Been out of the Alden buying game for about a year, and I just checked out shoemart to see what's new. Looks like Alden prices went up $100 on all cordovans. Unbelievable. Couldn't imagine how much the whiskey Indy would go for now (if available). Over $800? Woof.- marg

Sword & Plough
Saw these repurposed military surplus bags on Kickstarter and thought you'd all like to see this stuff. Anyone heard about this brand? If I didn't have a Filson bag, I would snatch that messenger bag right up... http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/swordandplough/sword-and-plough- marg

What was your starting salary (approx.)?
37k in 2006 in client service at a financial services company. 62k last year after a couple of promotions. For finance, I'm basically paid in circus peanuts, but it's allowed me to go through law school at night. Also, my 401k is sexy.- marg

The Watch Appreciation Thread (Reviews and Photos of Men's Timepieces by Rolex, Patek Philippe, Brei
I have a sub and a two-tone baume mercier capeland chrono, as well as a vintage IWC and Longines. I'm looking for a new watch, and I'm torn on which direction to go. I really like the Breitling gmt 44. Anyone have any thoughts? I know the price is steep, but I can get a good price from an AD...- marg

Went home for lunch to walk the dog today and was greeted by a leathersoul box on my porch. Finally got the chocolate suede tankers that I reserved so long ago I forgot. Contrast stitching on them really pops. The pics on the site are pretty accurate, except the color is a rich brown, not so...- marg

Scent/Fragrance of the Day thread
I've been wearing lumiere noire lately. Works very well with my skin. At first, I wasn't a huge fan because it was out of my comfort zone, but I'm so glad I did. When my bottle runs out, I will try to branch out a little more.- marg

With special make-ups in the rare shades, you are at the whim of Alden. Timelines are always tentative, and delivery is based on shell supply and production ability. This is not J. Gilbert's fault, and you will find generally the same issues at all the stores. Trust me, the dealers are...- marg

I have a jean...(The Ultimate Jean Thread For Beginners) - ask questions here.
I have big thighs from squatting and I sized down 2 no problem. Trouble buttoning at first, but they stretched out quick. They are now slightly loose. Unlike many other tighter-weave denim, APC NS thighs stretch, too. You can help the waist along if you dampen it and slowly stretch the...- marg

I wouldn't call them elf shoes, but they are more tapered in the toebox than other Aldens. Look at a full lace boot with a leather liner. Check J Gilbert or Alden of Carmel for something in a commando sole. Personally, I would still spray them with suede protector, but that can change the...- marg

I wear 11.5e in barrie. Went with 12e in grant boot. It's a little narrow for me, but the shell stretched a bit. Length is TTS, so just a tad longer than 11.5e barrie.- marg

Rolex will revoke dealerships if their watches are sold below list, and they have successfully done so. Wouldn't a mutually bairgained-for signed contract trump a dealer argument?- marg

Namor has some pics of his already on this thread somewhere. We have the same ones. I bought them in black. Think of a black captoe dress shoe like the AE Park Ave but with extra leather around the ankle. The edge doesn't extend much past the upper, so it is a very clean look...- marg

I wouldn't wear indy boots with a tie. Would wear with modern trad or dress casual. Nice denim or chino and harris tweed? Surely. Perhaps a color 8 captoe or plain toe boot on the barrie, then. I prefer barrie to the grant because the grant is a little too dressy for me. I wear my...- marg
