My very first pair of AE - I still love them.

Heading to the country for a weekend of clearing brush & bush-hogging. Brown shell HM's to travel (HM's were beyond #40 in my shoe purchases.)

Besides AE, I'm a big Rancourt fan. But I couldn't pass up Quoddy's current 35% off sale for in-stock merch! Quoddy rarely has sales. Just ordered 2 pairs of hand-sewns. Use code NEW35.

Happy Friday folks! Maiden voyage for my Trunk Show purchase. Unfortunately my pants bunched up when I took the photo. Rookie mistake. Ah well...it is Friday!

Everyone knows to grab your crotch and pull up. Works for me.

I'm also wearing my Higgins in CXL today with some selvedge denim. They too were the boots that started me down the AE road about a year and a half ago. Curious if these are the gateway into AE shoes/boots for most on here? With the exception of @BFT9000 since Higgins do not contain the correct medallion!

They were not my first AEs, but they were my first that were not dress shoes.

Happy Friday friends,

Just got home from a week in Southern Utah. When grandma passed we kept the house, it is a nice getaway at times. Some of you may remember your grandmother's carpet, and it may have been like this. I was born in 67 and this was already about 6-7 years old.

Discovery Derbies, I found these to be extremely comfortable around town. I'll be interested to see how the sole lasts, it seems pretty soft.

I was able to make it out to the desert for some recreation, it was mid 70's and sunny. CXL HMs earning their keep.

It looks like AE had some extra textured leather left over from the year and decided to make those and the PA in brown textured leather. I didn't "hate it", but it didn't really appeal to me.

I'm going to try to go to the AE store tomorrow. There actually is something I was interested in during RDA that I didn't buy. But now that it's over, probably will have to wait until 2021.
