First - welcome back, I for one, missed the "Hubbins" shots. Outfits looking great and Oh My.....those reverse tobacco boots, you are going to like them....

Thank you. You’re too kind.

I don’t know what shop makes those but I have a pair of reverse tobacco chamois indys from AoSF on neocork and they are great. I like that makeup you posted there too, what shop are they from? Too similar to what I have to get them but I like the brass.

This make up is from Twill near the Twin Cities. More pictures tomorrow probably on that other thread.

Happy wingtip Wednesday forum pals. "Storm Watch 2019: The Moistening" continues with scattered sprinkles that make even the brave LA residents stay home. My only concession to the pending weather was to wear CXL LWBs from the other guys. They are navy in color, which I find difficult to capture.

Does it earn a "MM" from Jeremy Clarkson for "Mildly Moist"?

Greetings, fellow enthusiasts. I wore some AEs this week. Here they are.

First up, Grailsons. For those unfamiliar, that means natural shell Graysons. J Crew 770 broken in chinos, Lands’ End OCBD and merino v-neck, Banana Republic MiUSA belt (not pictured), Schott NYC tweed car coat.

Tuesday. Brown CXL Higgins Mills with new darker green LL Bean five pocket cords, Lands’ End chambray shirt and donegal lambswool sweater, AE Central Ave belt, Schott NYC tweed car coat.

Also, I bought a pair of boots today. Hoping I like them because they cost me a pretty penny.

Spoiler: non-ae boots

You're right. That looks greener to me than lots of wools that are labeled as green (and look gray or brown instead).

Keeping it on the business side of business casual today with the 1.0 Jeffersons. Still my most complemented pair, for odd reasons. Wingtips tend to have that effect.

 

[MajorDash]

I wanted it but 38R sold out before I got a chance to snag it.

In fairness it's probably for the best; i'd likely only wear it once or twice a year, tops. Might be one in suitreview's updates soon, or possibly the outlet in the spring though, so all is not entirely lost. Worst case I just have one MTM via Alton Lane since they can get their hands on *ANYTHING*.

I doubt that he would have one soon if at all. He does seem to pull out some of the really neat stuff from time to time though.

Top five AE pairs is so hard to narrow down. I got some beloved pairs that did not make the cut. How could I not put these in the top 5?

• Fugley MacNeils
• Reverse Kudu HM
• Burgundy Shell Leeds
• Antique Burgundy Chesters
• Olive nubuck McTavish
• BB Tartan

Others come to mind also.

TS order update from yesterday’s visit to the Costa Mesa store: both pairs on their 2nd build. They’ll call me sometime in early December. I appreciate the QC and look forward to enjoying them. Excellent service and communication.

as for top 5. I checked my spreadsheet and apparently i have 30 “nice” pairs of shoes/boots, 20 of them AE. Currently i most like looking down and seeing these AE:

• Brown CXL HM
• Walnut Strand
• Chili Grain Bradley
• Brown Cashmere Grain Leeds
• Oxblood MacNeil (just picked up yesterday and would have worn today but SoCal weather is rain)

i imagine my 2 pairs from TS get bumped to the top once i get them.

Airport pic. Yes I’ve been looking at other people’s shoes. Yes, they’re all terrible.

I just checked the Schott website and could not find it anywhere. I ordered mine directly from Schott. Appears to be discontinued.

O’Connell’s still has size XL.

Thanks for the link. I will keep my eyes open on those secondary market.

I have fantastic news all.

There's an upper set aside for my TS19.2 order.

It's presumably a dusty upper at this point, since it's been sitting aside for about 6 weeks now.

 

[ProfilaBinding]

Thanks for the detailed write up. So you do not take the same size in all 3 lasts?

I am exclusively 8 D in the 333. I take 8 D or 8.5 D in the 65 and 1943, depending on the model.

For today, since we actually have a thunderstorm (I forgot what thunder sounds like), I took the slow 7-footer off the bench. Oh how I wish I had chosen natural. Alden makes a very similar boot in natural, but it's a leather sole (and much more expensive).

Now *THAT* is some frakkin carpet. I want that on a sportcoat. I have aspirations of game show hosting.

Ankles too big. Laces not long enough. ?
