Snuff Fullerton (2nds) and blue chinos. I feel much better about the shoe/sock/pants pairing than what came out in the crappy pics. For some reason the color balance is way off and I think I just made things worse trying to get the pants closer to actual color. One of my early pairs of AEs... I am always pleased when I reach for these. They are a little short (511 last; in my 65 size), but the suede provides some decent flex.

Alright gentleweasels, a few pics to share.

First up are the new Bourbon Daltons I'm rocking today.

My family bought me a new pair of Cronmoks as a combined Christmas gift.

Finally, I felt it was high time to get a picture of the collection. I clearly have a brogueing addiction. The dreary day today meant I had to use the bathroom lighting since I couldn't get a good picture outdoors. No judgement please! Only two non-AEs in the center (J&M).

Haven't worn these in age, but decided to add some dark brown wax to see if I can darken the heels and toes back to how they looked new. Happy with the outcome.

So what are your thoughts this is a pic of my worn today third time Acorn Hillfire's it looks like the heel is separating.

The heel separated on my Gobis after maybe 15 wears, AE replaced them for free.

PSA:

Someone on Ebay is selling a pair of new Leeds in brown, but these are the old Leeds from many years ago. Looks like they need some conditioner, but otherwise, are in pretty good shape. They are only $134. I won't be getting these, but someone should consider them. Size is 8 D.

Interesting because they have the dove tail heel, wheeling and other things you don't normally see with standard calf. It almost looks like they are made from Indy leather.

They look like burgundy color, but I'm not sure. I noticed the heel too. The black insole is there too, which some may not like. I almost guarantee these shoes will sell in 2 days.

First day back to the office and sporting my Christmas gift -- black Fairfax. Happy New Year, all.

AE does have some heel issues in some pairs, as noted by @MattRiv . Some pairs suffer total failure and others do not fail with the cracks being more cosmetic. Time will tell.

I think those def look like my merlot Hopkinsons in terms of color. They have to be MTO to have the wheeling/heel combo, right? The markings on the leather and the fold on one of the quarters def looks like Indy leather to me.

The sole with the wheeling effect is actually the same on my black Leeds. The heel is different though. I actually don't think they are made to order, although the leather does look like Indy leather.

Went with the dark chili Daltons today along with my favorite gift from Santa (wool-cashmere topcoat in dark camel from J-Crew).

I have both of those (chili Daltons and the exact same coat). The Daltons get more frequent use by far, because I often find it difficult to work the coat into my wardrobe effectively. I love it, though.

Has anyone noticed that the special "Black Friday" makeups didn't appear on Shoebank?
I haven't seen any "new" bourbon shoes pop up there either (but there are still a handful left from earlier last year).
What are they doing with these seconds?

Maybe they are about to have a "Gone in seconds" sale?
