Had a new experience recently, got a call from @ae_ashley that she saw something special in my size, and was I interested? Was I interested!?! Foxtrot Alpha!

Turns out they were seconds from my very own truck sale orders. I ordered them anyways, they are seconds for the Loden HMs on Commando I ordered. I'm giving them to my brother when my firsts come, he won't mind if they are a little broken in.

What do you guys do to condition suede? I have a brush, but I've never owned anything in suede until this last truck show.

I own my own seconds from the HM GMTO...I made them black suede.

Condition a new pair? I don't do anything. From the Suede TS, I forget what suede they used, but I don't think it was Rapello since that's full reverse suede. Rapello is pretreated with Scotch Guard, so definitely nothing to be done there. I don't bother treating any of my other suede either, because I haven't ran into anything a bit of brushing, erasing, or corn starch doesn't fix. Worst case, I can use suede shampoo on them.

I love those calls! My wallet doesn’t, but I do.

Considering the size of my collection, I think @ae_ashley enjoys the challenge of finding something interesting in my size that I don’t already have. Challenge accepted?!? I’m waiting patiently by the phone...

I really feel like a big idiot for not scooping these up a couple weeks ago - in my size - $199 less 25%

Jason informed me that they are seeing some chili shell seconds pop up now because the color is part of AE's regular line. Some on here might keep that in mind if you want something like a Strand or PA.

My favorite King of the Hill episode was the one where Frank Hank is worried that Bobby is gay. Mike Judge has a talent for making me laugh.

I saw the black background and was like "whoa @Shoenut when did you get all of those?"
Then I saw the avatar. All made sense.

PSA: Canal Courts are $169.99 currently, down from $225.

I personally have purchased them for both Mr. ae_ashley and the father in law, and they are deeply coveted.

Interesting that I just noticed that the olive PA is not being clearanced, but the olive Strand and weave Strand are.

I invented the black bed sheet as a background.

Just a matter of time before AE discontinues the entire Strand line. Then I'll finally have peace.

I almost tagged you, but Mr Nutty Shoes comes to mind first these days.

Step 1: discontinue Strand
Step 2: discontinue 65 last
Step 3: Release Banff on Boulevard last
Step 4: Strandman splits personality to allow for Banffman

That guy has a shoe allowance from his wife!

Haven't seen you posting any new swag lately! You seen the piles of gear he's been flaunting lately? Musta done something right.
