    The Official Alden Thread for 2018 - Share Reviews, Sizing, Advice, and Photos.

    Thanks for the feedback, all. It's difficult to find dark brown bluchers that are formal enough to wear with suits. I really like the looks of this one, but I'm a 10.5D/E in a Barrie so in a Plaza I think I'd need an 11, which they don't have in stock...

    The Official Alden Thread for 2018 - Share Reviews, Sizing, Advice, and Photos.

    Advise for a newbie, please. I have a very high instep and can only wear bluchers. Thinking of pulling the trigger on this: https://www.supplyandadvise.com/products/alden-straight-tip-blucher-brown-calfskin-d5516?variant=20524269572. OK to wear with charcoal or navy suit? I vastly prefer brown...

    Do you plan to do a Rivets restock anytime soon? I'm looking for a 34 in the 8 oz canvas gunmetal.

    The Donegal tweed Rivets look great. I'm deliberating between the original and current fit. Re tailoring: I realize the current fit can't be let out. But can it be taken in? I prefer the current fit's higher rise. But I tend to be midway between a 33 and 34, so the best move for me usually is...

    Mike, will you be restocking the loopwheeled Tees? I'm looking for a large in navy and in the grape that you stocked last year but isn't showing up at all at present.

    Will you be restocking the Walt Super 120s in charcoal? I'm looking for a 33.

    Folks who have purchased wool Rivets: have you gone with the twill taping on the out seam or without?

    Mike, will you be restocking Rivet sizes any time soon? I'm hoping for a 33 in the canvas fatigue. Have to admit, my initial skepticism about the redesign was unfounded. I've three pair of the new version, and they're getting considerably more wear than the originals that are in my closet...

    Done. Ordered the 11 yesterday. Thanks for the helpful response. Not at the moment - we just have a restock of Saddle/Gum planned for October.  That said, I think that you could wear the 11. The Leydon runs a little narrow for most guys, and I know that many Alden stores actually use the "E"...

    Mike, will you be restocking the low tennis trainer in mocha? I'm tempted to try the 11 that's currently available but I think I'd need an 11.5. I take an 11E in an Alden Leydon last, if that's any help.

    New-style Rivet purchasers: how are you feeling about the narrower leg opening? Size 33 has a 14.5" opening, an inch narrower than the original version's. I'm sure it'll look great worn with boots, but I worry about the possibility of "clown shoe" effect If I'm wearing a pair of, say, Alden...

    Random...but do you guys hang or fold all your EPLA t-shirts?[/quote Fol, definitely.. My wife made the mistake of hanging one of my a Loopwheeled tees last week. Stretched out the neck and shoulders, but a wash and tumble dry (on low) set things right.

    Can I just say, the loopwheeled tees are the greatest t-shirts in the history of humankind? Some folks will say (to quote Russell Hammond), "It's just a t-shirt." But there are those who know the perfect t-shirt is the Holy Grail. The loopwheeled tee is It. And that the Epaulet folks have...

     I too agree. I'm a relatively recent convert to EP. With my initial purchase of two pair of Rivets a few months back, I thought I'd finally found the perfect chino. I'll give the new design a try but IMO the narrow leg opening makes it look like a high quality version of a J Crew 484. I'm a...

    Will you guys be restocking sizes and/or adding colors in the loopwheeled crew neck tshirts anytime soon?
