ALLEN EDMONDS APPRECIATION THREAD 2021: News, pictures, clothing, accessories, etc.

[pbrandes]

Happy wingtip Wednesday gents (and @ae_ashley)!

For your viewing pleasure (or displeasure if you still follow the old ”black and brown don’t mix” silliness), a vintage pair of 5107 Concords (custom black/walnut) circa 1992.

Enjoy!

Agreed, black and brown can work quite well with sufficient contrast.

Please use Dominion Voting Systems to tabulate the votes for black shark / black shell. If some poll responses cannot be read, you can send them to me for "adjudication." As it happens, I voted for black shell / black shark -- but don't worry about that, any vote tabulations that come from me will be strictly non-partisan, I assure you. In fact, everyone can go home now -- I will take care of all the vote-counting from here.

Info on those pants/trousers? Love the color!

 

[pbrandes]

PSA - I'm pretty close to thrifting the shoes in my sig to clear space, but would rather they go to AE loyalists. Not asking a lot.

 

[Ashley_S]

Landon is still ahead by quite a bit.

JR is still the majority preference for sole

Navy shell/black shark still has a slight edge but black shell/black shark is closing in.

Let me ask you guys this: for those of you who voted black shell...would you be down for Navy if it kept the win?

A second poll may eventually need to happen.

Hamiltons with lovat green moleskin trousers.

Whatttt?!? Bone/walnut Broadstreets? Or were these converted golf shoes? Either way, you’re either off your meds or very generous!!!

I’ve been looking for those in my size for ages. Wish I could stuff tissue in the toes and not look like I’m wearing clown shoes.

These Burgundy Shell? Love the combination with the reverse welt!

Yes they are.

 

[AEfaninTampa]

Always a tough game fight for me to watch. I sure hope a game breaks out. Although I do know who I’m rooting for! Even if the banner is presented to the “other” team tonight.

Thanks, pants are Lands End moleskin from a few years back. To keep on-topic, shoes are AE x J. Hilburn Neumoks in black kudu w/light brown stitching and welt.

These look incredible! Is this an example of the shark material? It looks so right in this photo since the shadows make it appear almost like a wholecut boot.

Yes, black shark since shark is on the menu here.

Highly recommend as it makes a great rugged tough looking boot material

I won't add another pair so similar,
but this is gone be good.

Navy or Black, Landon or Higs; just won't matter.

My initial vote was for Landon in navy/black but thinking more on it I doubt I'd spring for it due to concern that navy would be too dark and end up looking just mis-matched rather than contrasting. I'd likely go with black/black though (or black/burg if offered (okay that's cheating but a guy can dream

 

[mreams99]

If the vote goes for the Landon, how will that extra detail at the back be handled? Will the heel cap and strap be shark too?
Would it be possible to have a version with a shark body, shark side panels, shark heel cap, and shark strap?

This reminds me of a skit from Monty Python (Spam).

Huh? I was talking about my sig (below), not my avatar. Broadstreets are not in my sig and definitely not for sale (those are actually Heritage with converted soles).

Oh phew! Glad I misread that!
