    The Official Alden Thread for 2024 - Share Reviews, Sizing, Advice, and Photos.

    Speaking of Aram, I've been noodling on replacing a pair of well worn double leather soles on a pair of C8 perf. cap-toe boots to something else. I thought about Waterlock or even Dianite, but now I'm thinking Neocork (in black). I don't have any experience with it. I don't usually wear...

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

    @RajunCajun great outfit! Would you share deets on the jacket?

    It would be hard to say no to a Galway 2. Such a great boot.

    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    Do you mean a patch chest pocket or the patch ticket pocket? If ticket pocket, any tailor can snip them out and you'll never see it on a textured material. I usually leave them, but I had one removed from a jacket where I really disliked the look.

    ** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)

    Hey gents -- anyone have experience with a full-bellows tongue on boots? I'm thinking of a single MTO in suede, and I find that I need a tongue-pad sometimes to take up room in the shaft of the boot so the quarters are snug. Otherwise they come close to overlapping (maybe I have skinny...

    Yup! UK9. I'll post up some pics over the weekend, but if you're interested drop me a DM.

    Unfortunately too small, not too big.

    I can't even begin to tell you how much it hurt. Mostly because I love them and wanted to wear them! 😩

    I'll be selling a MTO Galway 2 in snuff suede soon in the B/S/T thread if anyone has a hankering for an apron toe and doesn't want to wait. Size 9, double leather, antique brass eyelets. Worn twice or maybe three times (but a 1/2 size too small for me).

    Great outfit, @Nickchen3010! Can I ask about those sneakers? I like the color.

    It would be great if we could get the Russian grain Coniston over the finish line before the price hike. We're only two members away. Anyone on the bubble who wants to commit?

    ** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)

    I'm still hopeful for some comparisons between the fit of 325 and 379. Specifically, is the volume and length about the same between the two. 325 fits me well, but is as voluminous as I can go. If 379 is the same or narrower, it would be great. @Neville Southall you have both, yes? Can you...

    I didn't realize you could have shoes re-lasted as a part of recrafting. I assumed it was always back on the original last. Exciting to know this.

    ** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)

    Do you gents take the same size in the 325 and 379 last?

    I didn't realize I'd be the only one looking for non-Ridgeway. But the other specs are so good, I'll put my objections aside. I'm still in! Specs look good.

    Crockett & Jones MTO Central

    Sorry to make things even more confusing, but I would be interested in joining the Russian Grain group, too if the soles are double-leather or studded. I'm not as interested in Ridgeway. And depending on cost. I think brass eyelets would look nice, but I don't take a position on those or edges...

    I have a preference for Dianite (or double leather, which I strongly prefer) over Ridgeway once we start narrowing down details.

    I’d be in for a Coniston in navy shell.
