ALLEN EDMONDS APPRECIATION THREAD EDITION 2O22

Yes.

First and foremost, I don't get off pretending I'm something I'm not (British high society). Second, he's not anywhere close to being in the same shape I am (despite my disability ratng). Third...my pocket square is Washington Crossing the Delaware. He'd have a print of himself fellating various members of the royal family (all lizard people btw) in the hopes it made him look more bri'ish.

Anywho.

We love you and we hate Kirby. Sorry not sorry. He’s such a pretentious wanker. He probably supported the red coats in 1776…

Credit where its due he started out with a niche nobody else was putting out there. But he quickly came across as the kid who hangs out and hopes the rest of the class ends up liking him because he s always around.

Weirdly this tiki bar we found (in London of all places, best Painkiller I've ever had) asked if they could photograph us behind the bar for their IG.

So I guess Brown In Town works. Or just not being a blowhard idk.

+1. Hope @armedferret understood my intention.

LOL, a great laugh for the day. KA takes himself so seriously that his head would explode if he tried to pull off your style. Thus the reason for the $20 to get him to try.

Wearing white suede Nomads today.

For fans of "A-E In The Wild" pictures, at the Crate & Barrel store on Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills doing my part to boost retail sales and prevent a worldwide financial panic.

I really am loving the super loud trousers. They somehow work amazingly here.

Sure, and that makes sense. It's just that the marbled versions of colors are typically competing with their non-marbled brothers for space in terms of where they fit into one's wardrobe. For those of us here who have 30+ pairs of shoes, it can be harder to justify picking up, say, a marbled chili HM, when you already own a chili boot of some type. Whereas something like Horween's Ultraviolet or Garnet would likely not have much competition in their wardrobe niche.

I don't see it this way. My marbled shell make-ups are drastically different from their non-marbled counterparts. I would say that my Dark Cognac (Brown) Shell Strands are closer to my Burgundy Shell Strands than they are to my Marbled Dark Cognac Shell Strands in terms of shade.

Going forward, I will ALWAYS get the Marbled Shell make-up as I was most on the fence with the Marbled Black Shell offering and my Strands (while not works of art like @ProfilaBinding pair) are still eye-catching and one of my more complimented shoes in my collection/rotation. I'm actually wearing them today!

I wander in here today to find people talking bad about the new marbled shell and reverse shell. It makes me sad to read these thoughts. While I do love my pair of olive-ish Strands, BFT does have an equally awesome pair. I hope he'll post another picture to show off the blue variation (mine doesn't have blue).

Also, I'm starting to get my sense of smell back. I lost about half my smell from covid. I never realized how important smell is until it was reduced. My family who also got it said that it took 3 weeks for their smell to return to normal. Any of you guys lose your smell or have it reduced like I did?

You may have lost your sense of smell..but never your sense of taste!

Glad to hear you are recovering my friend.

Those shoes rule.

Suede is a much more rugged leather than most think it is

Suede Mac Neils arrived. Very happy. The soles are crooked with delinquent stitching, but I am replacing the sole with double leather anyway. $130 on eBay, hard to complain as my Mac Neil collection grows.

I was just informed that my limited edition Mcallister sneakers in off-white are supposed to arrive tomorrow. I've been enjoying the rain but I'm hoping for clear skies so I can wear them Thursday.

Can't wait to see you wear them. After seeing everyone post theirs, I'm really regretting not getting a pair. I've been loving adding more sneakers in the rotation.

 

[Lauren_A]

I can almost 100% guarantee that this is a mirage.

Definitely a mirage

It looks like they have the new Rum suede/calf Landon and Strandmok on the Nordstrom website.

Sorry to say, but all my MacNeils are bargain basement. Maybe I am the reason it had to be discontinued.
