Can we take a minute for these Chestnut Lug Higgins (color 8 CXL).

Can attest that these are beautiful. About 2 weeks ago, a buddy of mine sent me an unpacking video of himself opening up a pair of these. He is absolutely thrilled with them. Considering his favorite pair of AE up to this point have always been a black Hillcrest model, I'm glad to see him moving over into the wonderful world of Higgins Mills.

They look really good and are a great option for someone who wants the look of burgundy shell HMs, but not the price tag, and would benefit from the weatherproof features. For reals, if I didn't already have a pair of burgundy shell HMs, I would have ordered these the moment I saw them in the RDA catalog.

And here comes the Bradley. Great looking second. Just a couple of love marks.

Nice! I have a pair of those in Snuff (at least, that's what it says on the box; I think they were being called Bourbon on the site when I bought them).

Thank you Sir! They are all “brown” to me. Lol!

I love my burg shell Bradleys but one in one of the trunk show shell colors would have been hard to turn down.

As Pat's pics demonstrate a lighter welt and edge really changes the formality of the shoe. So much so that a burg with the stock dark welt/edge would be a significantly different shoe (to me) than, e.g. a chili Bradly with a light edge.

Glad I got mine when I did.

Rudolph Hamilton, please!

I think that we all know that this means football grain! There’s nothing better than enjoying a full slate of holiday bowl games — and now we can be properly dressed for the occasion!

Believe it or not, I'm not a big fan of football grain, or even watching football. I used to love playing it during recess as a kid though!

I definitely would like to see how these age.
