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

Ok guys. Looks like we are going with the Landon.

I need quick feedback to get this going.

Do we like option one or option two?

#2 or #2 with a shell back stay or whatever. Then again I may not be buying these.

 

[Lionel Hutz]

OK guys. Here is your chance.
Who wants black eyelets?
Who wants brass?
Make your voice be heard.

Yeah, even though I’m using all the foot bed it still feels large. A lot of volume. You're flat footed, so I think it’ll feel odd. You might get lucky going down half a length? Taper is less aggressive

No size 12.5 either! Which is OK. I have plenty of things in the closet that do fit great.

I like brass

It works in shell for me on the first Ave. it’s not about actually stretching the leather, but the default slightly wider closure at the bottom of the cone vs the tighter Oxford. My foot can slide in with my orthotic, and the shoe has enough room to accommodate. On the Oxford, there is no flexibility in that part of the shoe because the camp has fixed width

Ok. Misunderstood your comment. I thought you were going smaller and stretching, not just comparing closed/open lacing

If you aren't participating in the GMTO then please don't vote. I'm looking to buy these and I don't want you people ******* up my specs. This isn't a trunk show and we need serious votes only.

That said I vote for black hardware.

 

[FatTuesday]

Charming.

I was surprised to go outside and see that the snow has already started falling.
I’ve got the natty HMs on though, so they’ll be fine.

 

[mreams99]

I think that the black shark looks good with either brass or black hardware.

I put the question up for the group, and I’ll be happy either way it goes. I’m not even going to “vote” on this question.

Thanks @madhat !!

The Tarrago Pineneedle green was a perfect match. Amazon for about $6. Great product. That will work for the green Neumoks and the green Maritimes.

Excellent tip.

Will the “brass” or “black” finish come off? That probably would sway my thought

 

[schweezly]

Nice. Here is my Christmas gift this year when it was brand new

the bronze is very cool. I also have that strap but I haven’t tried it yet...the bracelet is better than I thought it would be

 

[munchau]

Apologies for disrupting the shark talk, but I want to inform you all that I am wearing MD Chukka boots today. Carry on.

As it wear? Eventually yes. Just look at an existing pair you have with hardware. If one bothered you enough, you could always have a cobbler swap. The Alden guys do it all the time.

Happy Friday friends!

I've posted these several times but I keep reaching for them, especially on Fridays. They must be happy boots. Snuff Pattons:

I'm enjoying the watch pics on here recently. My family has worn Longines for 4 generations, one of my favorites and certainly an interesting manufacturer. I've had this one for 12-13 years now. A huge 47.5mm, just as specified by Mr. Lindbergh himself.
