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

[JFWR]

To narrow it down to 3 would be difficult, but here it goes in no particular order:
Bourbon HMs

Natty shell Strands

Shell MacNeils

Spoiler: Honorable mentions

Even narrowing down to the runner-ups was a challenge. Looking through past posts makes me realize how much I miss going into the office, just for the chance to wear some of these different options. I have been working home since last March, and at best, it is looking like this summer before we will be back in the office here. Even some of the staples (thinking of you brown cxl HMs) had to be left off, so in no particular order:
Shell Cambridge

Shell Strands

Chili Shell HMs

Bartletts

Natty cxl stirlings

Walnut Shell Daltons

Rush Streets

Chili shell 5ths (still unworn, thanks for that too COVID )

Merlot Jeffersons

Vintage MacNeils

I really need the shell cambridges. Those are beautiful.

Great shoes, great choices. I like your emphasis on oxblood/burgundy and brown shades!

No sir.

Sorry guess I should have asked deets?
Fan of A.E & DENIM

So, gentlemen, what are your three favourite Allen Edmonds?

I'd have to say mine are:

1. Green shell cordovan strands.

2. Oxblood shell cordovan daltons.

View attachment 1571089

3. Blue navy shell chukkas.

I was tempted to include my carbon strand in calf, or some other models, but I had to restrict mine to three. I especially like the cognac colour Allen Edmonds has on my derby quarter-brogues and NST in calf.

This is tough, but answering today, it would be these:

Dark Chili Fifth Ave...my gateway drug

Brown Strandmok...most complimented

Dark Chili Shell Park Ave...most worn as of late

Close behind, chili shell Landons and chili shell Leeds. Waiting on the LandSharks to arrive and see how they affect things ?

I love the 5th avenues especially. Great choices.

 

[DawgPound]

New Strandmoks on the line. You love to see it.

AE is killing it! Love everything that’s happening. When I started going down this path, there were a lot of disgruntled people talking about how the way things used to be...and I saw and understood that. I have to admit I appreciate what AE has been doing, everything from actively engaging loyal customers (@ae_ashley ) to the newest offerings. Keep it up please!

I can happily confirm that the first Landshark is in transit, due to arrive Friday, and that means the rest of them are soon to follow.

Damn! Wasn’t it @AEfaninTampa who said these would arrive when being away?!?! I’m facing the same situation

At the moment these are my top 3 - tomorrow I may feel different.

Are those marbled shell Hamiltons?

Are those marbled shell Hamiltons?

Yes sir

Reminiscent to me of the Bat Signal, the pic above shows what appears when you open a door on the new LR Discovery (which I rented for a day). My own 2001 model has no such lights and pageantry. lol.

 

[pbrandes]

These certainly do, but I think it's because of the tan that it works the best on the edges and laces (by the way: nice!!!). Like my strands are with darker laces and edges, so I don't know if they'd work as well with jeans.

I have no complaints about pairing jeans with my emerald shell Leeds with dark brown welt:

However, my favorite pairing is with khaki:

You’re gonna need a bigger boat.

Yeah, I personally think the khaki is more suitable, but I can see that jeans aren't quite as much of a clash as I thought.

Perhaps it is also a case that jeans and oxfords can mix, but not always. These, being bluchers, suit jeans more.
