    ***The official Alden thread *** Share enthusiasm, reviews, sizing, advice, and photos.

     Yes, it is the 975 shell longwing with a commando sole. Assuming it is exclusive to AoC, right? Nothing to do but wait? Alden will not recraft a shoe with a leather sole with a commando or crepe sole will they?

    ***The official Alden thread *** Share enthusiasm, reviews, sizing, advice, and photos.

    Hey guys, A buddy of mine is looking for a the AF110 (No. 8 Shell Cordovan Longwing) and Alden of Carmel has them backordered at least until the fall. Is that shoe specific to Alden of Carmel, or is there any other store that may have it in stock? I called Alden of NYC and they only stock...

     At least he managed to get some gym shorts on before he took the picture (far right of cover picture in the mirror). All class.

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

    After a long and storied history, I just received Namor's Y.O.L.O. custom shell cordovan jodphurs after picking them up for a great price from a Spanish seller on ebay. Perfect fit!! Could have been custon made for me...at least I now know what size I wear in a Meermin. Honestly I've never...

    Cool Shoes, Paraphernalia & Desiderata - Part II

    Hmmmm, interesting. 12.5 fit you say. I'm a 12 C&J Lowndes, a 12 Alden Barrie, 12.5 Alden Grant. Sounds like these may work?

    Will Grenson still re-craft Grenson Masterpiece Shoes

    Thanks TKDKid, just what I wanted to know. Much appreciated, I think they will just go over to B. Nelson.

    Will Grenson still re-craft Grenson Masterpiece Shoes

    Yes, I have. Slow responding, but I guess my question is as much asking if since they've discontinued their line of higher end shoes, does it make sense to pay the premium, the long wait time, and international shipping for them to work on the shoes. If these were Edward Greens or G&Gs there...

    Will Grenson still re-craft Grenson Masterpiece Shoes

    I have a few pairs of Grenson Masterpiece shoes, and one will need a resole soon. I see that Grenson recrafts their shoes, but they don't produce the Masterpiece line anymore. Do those of you in this situation go with the original maker, even if they are not making that quality shoe anymore...

    Cool Shoes, Paraphernalia & Desiderata - Part II

    Hey Bri, Long time. I've been around, but buying less and less and I can only post about drape and roping on jeans so many times. I went through the whole typical SF trajectory: AE, to Alden, to Edward Green to Vass, to G&G (I'm not really sure how to rank those last three). I have a lot of...

    Levi's LVC 605s (skinny) NWT, size 36x34

    Bought a pair of LVC jeans at Gilt in size 36x34. Too skinny for my tastes, tried them on and put them right back in the bag. As for sizing, I wear a 35 in Iron Hearts 634-S and in Dior raw 21cm., and a 36 in just about everything else. These closed at the waist, but barely, and were much...

    $3000 LATTANZI FOR BRIONI HANDMADE MONKSTRAP SHOES, SIMPLY INCREDIBLE

    I assume you know you put the price at $400 obo in your title and then asked $1,000 in the body of your post. These are too small for me, but if they fit a 13D I'd have been a lot more interested at $400 than $1000. You may want to edit just for clarification. And +1 on what are you going to...

    FS: BNIB Grenson Masterpiece Longwings (Sz. 12.5)

    I'm sure these must be gone, but I never heard back from my PM and the thread was never closed, so I figured I'd respond just to confirm.

    Alden size comparison with AE and JM

    You'll need to know which Alden last that shoe is on (sorry I don't off the top of my head). The Barrie is accepted to fit 1/2 size large, but I don't think it is actually any wider. The Plaza last will likely fit like an AE 9.5D, not E. You should post this in the Alden thread in SW&D.

    Sinn 356 Flieger - w/ bracelet, nato, boxes, paperwork, and receipt

    Well, OK...But the fact that you see no issue agreeing to terms with someone--negotiating a price and actually taking payment--and then canceling the deal with no further explanation than "something came up" is exactly why I think writing a warning is in order. I suspect there are many here who...

    Sinn 356 Flieger - w/ bracelet, nato, boxes, paperwork, and receipt

    As far as I understand it, you and I negotiated her price, I'm not sure what you felt bad about. And if she didn't included your fees, that was a misunderstanding on her part, she does not use paypal much. I suggested she not use the gift function as you requested (technically against SF...

    Sinn 356 Flieger - w/ bracelet, nato, boxes, paperwork, and receipt

    I really have to say, the time to make that decision would have been anywhere throughout the negotiation process while I was looking at pictures, agreeing to pricing, etc. Once my friend--who was shopping for a gift for her husband--actually sent you payment, I personally think the time has...

    Not a fan of PTB so I'm an outlier too. Longwings for sure.
