Greetings, fellow enthusiasts. Now to our regularly scheduled programming. Back in the Higgins Mills today because of snow. They are worn with LL Bean cords, a Lands’ End olive chambray shirt and a Gap shaker stitch sweater.

speaking of suede....thoughts on wearing these with a suit?

A few comments and questions: I really don’t see the big deal about using a “Genuine Shell” stamped JR sole on a suede upper. Are consumers going to confused? “Yes, Marge, I know it feels like suede but look here - the bottom says it’s shell.” Are the folks on the production line unable to...

Just pondering the Suede TS. Like that the Macneil is in although I have a chocolate suede Mac. If Acheson was in over Grayson that would be a slam dunk. Maybe a Plymouth is what I want. Not sold on the Carlyle from the picks. Liverpool is a great option in Snuff but that toe box on a Chelsea is not allowed in my house. But I keep going back to a Macneil. At least I have time.

Tan Wilberts today.








These are so unbelievably comfy.

Since the Bradley isn't available during the Suede Trunk Show, what about the Wilbert?

A blue or or snuff Plymouth may be your ticket!

It's struggle to live to 59!

or 95.

Had to look that up but yes, a WSJ paywall. But the gist of it is in the headline.

Amongst the many Trunk Show posts there have also been posts about "Picard" (Starfleet Academy Class Of 2327) and about saddle shoes.

Here's a picture wearing A-E Oakmont saddle shoes with Starfleet Academy in the background.

Starfleet Acaemy is actually a sewage treatment plant that sits in the middle of a lake of partially treated sewage.

You can walk up a lot of stairs and then walk on an elevated viewing platform across all the sewage treatment processes and watch videos explaining what's going on.

Here's the sign by the front gate.

Live long and prosper.

(Only in the San Fernando Valley where there is hardly anything to do or to see would a sewage disposal plant be a tourist attraction. Busch Gardens was better and there was beer for those who wanted beer.)

@Roycru. You are the epitome of "living the dream!"

I've got loafers on the brain right now, maybe because Winter, and suede is great for loafers! Since Patriot is not an option again this time, I have to figure out if I can make the Randolph and or the Grayson work by going down to an A width. Both are ROOMY! So the first Q is, will AE even make a 13 A in either shoe? They do now offer both models in that size, in calf. IF @ae_ashley confirms they'll make it, then I have to find one of each model to try on. If the A width works fit-wize, I would buy a couple of pairs of each and make it an All Loafer Trunk Show. But the stars have to align to make that plan work. I don't really have a Plan B.

Choco suede or Navy suede Grayson? sweet! Sand or navy suede Randolph? money!

Question about fit on the 511

I had a pair of shell Leeds in 13EEE and they were too roomy.
I then bought a shell Bradley in 13E, and while it fits good I wish it was slightly wider.

So my thought was im probably a 13EE in the 511 last.

However, I recently got a pair of MD unlined suede chukkas in 13EEE and they fit good

So now I'm at a loss if I should get a Leeds or Dundee in 13EE or 13EEE.

Would a suede Dundee fit same as MD chukka?

MD chukka is unusually narrow.

Looks like they closed the Clarksburg Allen Edmonds outlet... they had a lot of problems with the staff there I think, and o never saw people buy much.

Thank you!

So I think it will be a 13EE. Gotta see if I can order a size in calf to try.

Does suede fit like calf or larger like shell?
