Second opinions on these brown shell Patriot seconds?

Both shoes have crooked moc stitching (left's is far more obvious) and the right shoe has scraps along the moc stitch and three small gouges in the front. I'm fairly confident that some wax polish would eliminate the scraps and gouges, but I don't know if those would impact their longevity of the shoes. Also not sure about how noticeable the crooked stitching would be to other people. What doesn't help matters in my decision-making is that only one other pair of seconds exists in brown, and no firsts are available (at least on the website).

You’ll notice those things. I’d send em back.

We have a lot of plans coming up in the next few years that we believe will be pretty exciting for a lot of you. Not everything will be for everyone, but you'll see that we really took a lot of your feedback to heart.

...so keep it coming.

I look forward to seeing what develops.

Sweet. Were the eyelets available at the TS or were they added later?

The eyelets are original. AE allowed full customization during the early Trunk Show. These shoes have the Independence lamb skin lining. You could even chose the thread color.

I'm on Strand probation until my TS19.2 order gets here, so I need everyone here to hold down the fort......

I hear what you’re saying, but also:

The first of my TS 19.2 acquisitions. Love these. Jason helped me with my 511 last fit. The heel is a bit roomier than I would like, but they will certainly work. Navy shell in these more casual shoes is incredibly versatile. I can’t think of many colors (except black trousers) I wouldn’t wear them with.

Let us know on fit after the 5th wear. I think you may be surprised.

At the AE store picking up these lonely soles. No biggie.

I've thought it'd be cool to have an AE indy as well (I don't even care about the rare shell; give me machine stitch and shell!), but i'd argue the HM is AE's answer to Alden's Indy.

It could be called the Indæ.

No kidding. 5 posts in 9 years. What a chatter box.

A Russian and a Finn sit down together with a selection of Russian and Finnish vodkas to decide whose vodka is best. After matching each other shot for shot for 6 straight hours, the Russian asks, "So, what do you think? Whose vodka is best?" The Finn replies, "Are we here to drink, or are we here to talk?"

Hey guys! We've been hearing a lot of chatter about the Hamilton boot, and I wanted to let you know that we JUST released them in two new colors! It's now available in Cognac Grain and Black Grain, and they're $275, down from $395.

Additionally, the Patton has just been released in Tan and Walnut Pebble, and those look phenomenal as well...$295 down from $395.

I love my Hamilton in dark brown. I get lots of compliments. I have Stirlings in Dublin tan and natural calf, but those Cognac Grain boots..... so tempting!

Looks like carbon shell.
