**The Official Shoe Care Thread: Tutorials, Photos, etc.**
Wanted to get the community's input here: I sent out a newly acquired pair of vintage alonguins to a very established cobbler (withholding name) to be resoled/re-welted with new leather insole as well and the whole works (as this is major surgery, i spent $$$$). While they got the job done...- rdstour

The Official Alden Thread for 2024 - Share Reviews, Sizing, Advice, and Photos.
Thanks for the feedback. Given what I've read historically, I am fairly sure Alden and Moulded Shoe will tell me to suck it up unless the sole was separating or something :/ Alas...the agony and ecstasy of Alden. As for the make-up, it's the Tan Alpine Grain! I wanted them in the darker Brown...- rdstour

The Official Alden Thread for 2024 - Share Reviews, Sizing, Advice, and Photos.
Picked up a pair of Alden Indy Modified from Moulded Shoe last year, but haven't worn them as I had most of my stuff in storage last year. Took them out for the first time today and noticed some sloppily done welt stitching (toe stitching and inside sidewall welt). I know Alden QC isn't the...- rdstour

Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice
Nice find! I would say based on stamp, that was likely late 90s or early 00s. Likely by Regal. From what I know: Two (current) major shoe manufacturers in Japan held the J&M license over the 80s-2010s -- initially it was Regal (www.regal.co.jp) till the late 00s, then over to Otsuka...- rdstour

AMERICAN TRENCH - OFFICIAL AFFILIATE THREAD
@A.T. Hamlin Just an updated question -- the length measurement on your OE by Camber Hoodies -- how is that calculated? My assumption is top of body/bottom of hood, to the bottom of the hoodie, right? I had held off on the Keystone since I felt the body length was so much longer than the...- rdstour

SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread
Has anyone here ever tried the Arctic Parka with the Rabbit Fur and all? It never goes on sale, disappears off the site after winter, and is only sold at full price. It looks compelling, but the lack of firsthand accounts is a little troubling.- rdstour

How is J Press Different than Brooks Brothers
I don't think you're giving enough credit where credit is due for the Del Vecchio's ownership: Peal and Co shoes and leather goods continued under their tenure (You're overstating the product shift away from Made in England goods; the Made in Italy stuff was very solid) Despite deteriorating...- rdstour

How is J Press Different than Brooks Brothers
As for Brooks, I think that's a wholly different story. Brooks Brothers has had way more cultural and stylistic influence over a wider part of the population (e.g., Mens and Womens, Formal and Casual) -- Look at a BB Catalog from the 70s-80s and you'll see they were chasing trends and...- rdstour

How is J Press Different than Brooks Brothers
The reasons you outlined in your post are basically meant to be addressed by J. Press' Pennant Label. Check them out here: https://jpressonline.com/collections/pennant-tailored-clothing Mainline Press is super TRAD for a reason, and they see no point in changing that. I wouldn't expect...- rdstour

SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread
Mate, you're not deriving information so much as you're speculating and making some very rough inferences. The only thing we can conclude for sure is that the new OCBD batch comes from a different mill. The buttons? Lighting could very well be making it look more saturated than the previous...- rdstour

The Official Alden Thread for 2023 - Share Reviews, Sizing, Advice, and Photos.
I know the Rose Anvil video last year created some chatter, but he just published a 6-month review of the Indy Boots -- this time in the Shell Cordovan makeup + commando sole. I don't always take RA's takes at face value, but this video confirms some of the QC issues (poor welt finishing...- rdstour

Alden Modified Last: If You Wear, or are Interested, Please Read
Unfortunately, I think you'll have to call this pair a loss. The break-in might soften the footbed somewhat, but it wouldn't change how the last fundamentally fits on your foot. It sounds like perhaps your Brannock arch length might not be a great fit for the 8.5 Modified (and you may have to...- rdstour
