Interesting...

One shoe has a shine

Nice meal!!!!! I would love to have that, but since we are now on a "heart healthy" diet due to wife's stent, I can only look at photos. I like the MM myself, but not a big bourbon guy either. Now if we are talking Merlot.............

I know a little of Pinot Noir but not Merlot.

Good food and good drink!
If you're looking for bourbon suggestions some of my favorites include Angel's Envy, Willett's, and really anything from the Buffalo Trace distillery.

Are you a scotch fan? Scotch is my jam.

Thanks, it was my favorite cut, a NY strip. And do you know, it was so good I neglected to use the A-1. lol. Thanks for the bourbon reco's. I will try those out as well. As for scotch, I've always drunk Dewar's and do like Glenlivet but Glenfiddich more - who wouldn't at near $100/ bottle.

Bulleit FTW. Just don't ruin it with that ice.

Looking forward to the Bulleit...straight. And, btw, what I decided tonight on the MM is though easy to drink, a little too cinnamon-y to become my bourbon of choice.

and now both! (still haven't put laces back)

Congrats, it looks likes those fit you well!

Thanks, these fit a lot better than the grey ones, I switched the lacing to bar lacing and was able to get a better V-gap closure than in the picture, that was just initial try on.

Moving forward, unless the grey is offered again down the road, I'm going to try and order a heat moldable insole to take up some of the extra room, since the color is awesome in person, compared to the Silver look they had on the AE site.

Cxl almost always fits larger in regards to AE. I once had a pair of cxl Clark Street shoes that were way too loose in the heel and it broke my heart to sell them. They were my usual size, but just too damn big.

Hell I'd donate my McAllisters to the cause. I was gonna send em to Potter soon anyway.

Are you sure? I thought the purpose of this is to have them re-crafted, then take them apart to see if they hit the same holes.
Which would mean they need to be recrafted again?? Maybe I missed something, or maybe you don't want the shoes anymore. This would be something better suited for a cheap pair of shoes off ebay that no one planned on wearing, and was just for the sake of knowledge.

I would say purchase the most trashed pair of shoes of ebay, that AE would still accept for a recraft and document before and after, then disassemble.

Somebody needs to remind the settler what mint condition means

What? Creases don't mean mint? Clear signs of wear doesn't = NWOB?

Taking an evening out means evening shoes.

Spoiler: Non AE.

Beautiful shoe's, Monk straps are on my Radar, since I feel the right pair would work well with Jeans on the weekend.

But if it’s a pair whose history is unknown and we found extra holes we wouldn’t know if it came from this recrafting or something that happened before.

Good point.

Killing two stones with one bird.

Although it was McTavish Tuesday all across America when I took this picture wearing khaki grain McTavishes, by the time I get this picture posted it will still by McTavish Tuesday here in the Pacific Time Zone but it will be Wingtip Wednesday in the rest of America.

For fans of "A-E In The Wild" pictures, aboard a Metro Red Line subway train enroute to the Vermont/Sunset station on the way the the monthly Paper Moon Vintage Full Moon Party.

One of the very few advantages of being 72 is you can sit in the old folks seats and only pay 35¢ to ride (75¢ during rush hours).

For fans of food pictures in shoe threads, a champagne in a two piece plastic cup (which I assembled) at the Paper Moon Vintage Full Moon party picture.

One of the many things I didn't buy (although there is always a 25% off sale on days when there is a Full Moon) at Paper Moon Vintage.

Since this is a shoe thread, some of the vintage shoes for sale at Paper Moon Vintage.

Just logged into my AE account to check status of my order, and my Jingle Bell-Mok shows shipped, WOOT WOOT!

Y'all fondled the weatherproof Daltons?

Is it me or do they seriously feel really similar to the Indy line leather?

I have to check the style # on my pair, but I think they're the weatherproof Daltons. I thought the leather seemed pretty decent, especially for seconds.

TS 19.2 bourbon shell Strands have arrived! They seem to be flawless. Even the burnishing on the toes, something I don't ordinarily care for, looks great. It's very subtle and adds a little depth. Cannot wait to wear these! View attachment 1278199

So nice!
