I don’t see the carpenter pants ?

Make sure you sign up for restock notifications from ALD's site. A lot of stuff will pop back up throughout the season.

How'd you size? I've heard a whole range of opinions, from 0.5 to 2 sizes down LOL

 

[troika]

@nick227 I went down a full size, from 10.5 to 9.5 and they fit perfectly. They have a bit of cushioned footbed, and I know my foot will push it down eventually to make them fit even better. The leather is really soft as well, so I don't feel any issues with the width.

Not being funny - what’s the appeal of those loafers?

I don’t see it but maybe y’all can put me on.....

Fair question.

For me this wasn't a typical purchase, the hats included.

I've had a weird style cycle: kith/supreme ➡️ scandinavian minimalism ➡️ menswear ➡️ back to streetwear with occasional tailoring ➡️ and now things I previously thought as weird (think Yuketen, Birkenstocks, wallabies).

The green loafers were the 1 piece that reintroduced me to ALD. The color block is definitely something that I would've previously thought as tacky. I can't pinpoint why but these caught my attention for some odd reason. I think these can work well in warmer climates. They are just some fun shoes since I guess.

Here are some fit pics

The burgundy ones I just got for sizing since I didn't know which size to get. Worst case scenario I return them for store credit.

It's awesome man. It's very classic Aime in its fit and styling with a pretty big collar, longer length ( I'm 6'1 155lb for reference) and regular fit (not too slim or oversized). It's also a lot thicker than I expected and can pass as a light jacket almost. I'd highly recommend grabbing it if you see it at stockists or if ALD restocks (saw them restock the pleated pants in size S, so could happen with the overshirts too). If you're looking for absolute quality, you can find better at this price point but its still well-made and looks great imo.

Anyone own the ALD 3-Pack tees? Are they any good?

i’ve heard good things about their tees but I believe the blanks are from House of Blanks. May be worth trying them first.

Are their hats higher quality than a standard New Era fitted? or is the extra cost just for the ALD logo

It's truer to how New Era 5950s looked back in the 90s-early 00s with the low crown, white sweatband, white inside labels, grey underbrim, tonal New Era logo on the side, red/white/blue MLB logo embroidery in the back that sits more flush. Whereas the current New Era 5950s have a black underbrim, black sweatband, black inside labels, white New Era logo on the side, a more 3D white MLB logo embroidery in the back, and the high crown very boxy shape makes you look like Elmer Fudd.
