I purchased two pairs of AE in walnut. Six months later, I realized that I don't like the walnut color (on me).
The darker brown colors are wonderful and remain my favorite.

One good thing, if you’re a DIY kind of person, the walnut takes dye very well and it’s pretty easy to use.

Indeed. I wasn't the best person for the job. One pair turned out ok and the other pair turned out kinda ok (both a dark brown). The mutation to dark brown is still preferred over the walnut.

Wingtip Wednesday and today. Have a good day gents.

Busy day of begging for a bigger budget and bathing in the blood of the non-believers. Oxblood Daltons SMUs from @ae_ashley photographed in very poor, overcast outdoor light seemed to be appropriate.

It looks like someone at the factory forgot what American shoe company they worked for....

I'm not a fan boy of most of their recent offerings, but I think AE has great dark brown shades, starting with their stellar dark cognac shell, plus mahogany, cigar and dark chili. I think you can get the Strand and the Park in all of those shades right now. Plus they're still offering some models in a coffee, which I guess is more of a mid-brown, but isn't this a pretty good range of dark brown shades?

Didn't they just recently offer the strand and park in cigar and mahogany? I know dark chili has been around, but I take that as more a shade of oxblood than brown traditionally.

Yeah, I always regret walnut/tan. Good thing: you can make walnut/tan dark brown real, real easy.

Just hanging out waiting for my wife to get ready for a day of nothing. We probably won’t get it done.

Fantastic colour on these shoes. They do definitely look more Alden-y, though. Which is not a bad thing.

I'm definitely not complaining. Especially not for $270.

Just realized these look like the same pants. The black MacNeil's are paired with light gray chinos and the cigar Strands with khaki chinos.

Navy Courtsides today.

Also received a new-to-me pair of 29 year old Sanfords. A little conditioner and they are ready to go!

Day 4 of Coat & Tie week. Natty shell Strands courtesy of Team Charleston a couple of years back.

You know when you forget to put a big bowl of butterscotch pudding back in the fridge and it darkens overnight? That’s where these have headed.

Hi! Long time lurker here, just have a question about the "german leather" AE uses on their weatherproof PAs (link below). Does anyone know what that is? Does it require a different shoe care product than with a calfskin? Any thoughts/experiences on it generally? Thanks in advance.
