trying to make NYC today. Those who ordered chili strands, what edge color did y out go with?
Interested in answers to this question.
Pretty sure I will go with one more formal pair of Fifth Streets:
Brown or burgundy (leaning towards brown), translucent flat welt.
And one more casual for odd trousers:
Chili, translucent OR buff, reverse welt.
Would love any detailed pics of welt/edge combos in those colors that those able to attend the trunk show could take for those of us in the hinterlands.

I think on a Fifth st, the chili/brown edge would be less flash than the buff. Think Stranmok/Cronmok with the buff edges and darker upper to imagine that combo.

View attachment 1244384

Those of you attending, take lots of pics and enjoy! Soak up that shaved shell! Me, I have to make a trip out to Pittsburgh later today, so I’m going 0 4 2 on Trunk Shows in 2019.
Don’t forget TS day in Orlando, too!!

trying to push the “Suede Agenda” today.

True, I would also add that the chili seems to have a lot of color variation whereas the navy seems to be a much more even dye. This could be a pro or con depending upon personal preference. I happen to like variation but of course everyone is different. I suppose I could also go with bourbon, which seems to be more to my liking this round --- and I liked it a lot last round. :)

Well, I finally tossed an order for chili strands in with my SA yesterday :cool:

They really go with everything - and the reddish hue seems unique. The ladies in the family don't prefer the navy either fwiw.
