Open question:
Of the boots and shoes available, which models, in ranking order of both personal preference and as objective as possible, do you believe make more sense to prioritize getting in shell over calf? Also pretend the horror: you have an empty shoe closet.

By the looks of it, i’m trending to only likely be able to pick up one pair. We are considering purchasing a new car or suv towards the end of the year so wallet is tightening up.

Probably going to go with the Chili since it is this trunk show’s bourbon.

For shoes these make the most sense.

1. Cornwallis in Navy
2. MacNeil
3. Strand

For boots an HM in Shell makes a hell of a statement vs. other leathers. Especially since you can pick the sole.

I am not, nor will I ever be a style number guru, but did AE change the style number on Bourbon when they shifted from using a base Walnut leather that they hand burnished to Bourbon to an actual base Bourbon color from the tannery that they just finished? I miss the greenish tones of those seconds. Great pickups for an issue that is so easily corrected.

Most men hated the greenish tones in bourbon, including some AE store sales associates I've spoken with. How would one correct that issue?

To answer your question, I don't think the style number has changed for at least the bourbon Strands. Mine have the same number 6135 that was used on pairs back from 2013-2015. And also, the merlot style number on my Parks has been used for various types of merlot leather, like that polished cobbler from the 1990s.

OK, just ordered a pair of Alpine boots, someone here has to see what they are like. I have a thing for cap toe boots, like AE and they are on Vibram soles (no Dainite so that's a good thing) . Will post pix/review when the get here. Odd, but even though I have been ordering from AE for YEARS (since they first had a website), I'm still not a "member" of their "collectors" or whatever it is called, group. Almost makes me want to not deal with them as they keep bugging me during checkout.

Will this really work on a TS event? I've never used a collectors discount in the past.

I got two greenish pairs. Randolph was the greenest that I have ever seen thus $99. My Mcallisters were just slightly green $157. Different treatments for each. I wish I had taken the pictures right out of the box.

Step one Renomat. Step two medium and dark brown polish. Medium brown wax.

Then I used a very dark brown from Saphir. Thought it was too far.

Renovetuer and médium brown polish got them back.

I keep them up with Lexol conditioner and medium brown polish.

This one I just was able to saddle soap and use Lexol followed by some light brown and medium brown polish and a dark brown wax on the toe and heel.

Well, they just kept calling to me so today I finally ordered. Will post them up in a few days.

Definitely shouldn’t work.

Lots of rain, so Bellevue.

Doubt it. Although with the CD application has been uneven.

I have signed up for the "collector" thing already, got one email from Corporate, once a long time ago (right after sign up). Don't seem to be a member any more for some reason. May try the TS signup and see what happens.

Question for @ae_ashley

Sorry gentlemen. No discounts of any kind during the event. We waive the smu fee, but the product is otherwise full priced.

 

[James1051]

Navy Dundees in TS1 were so good I can see getting another pair in chili or green.

Is it Friday yet? Hard to say that when it is only...this day.

Hampstead weave. I know - shouldn’t wear black with blue. But the suit has both, and I think it works.

T minus 18 days and counting...
