ALLEN EDMONDS APPRECIATION THREAD EDITION 2O22

[VeritasAequitas]

Tonight I am taking the Bradley to dinner. I got these sun glasses for Mexico. These are the darkest sun glasses that I have ever tried. I think they make me look like a mean old man. But the little kids just keep waving at me.

WOW! You look like a completely different person with a beard.

That Caribbean Cask is a great summer scotch.

Yes, I'll say it, I am green with envy! Well done.

Nice way to unwind the day. ;-)

If you want to upgrade your chessmen, etsy.ca will get you the vendors in India. See pics. I made the board from hardwood for my sister's family. Better to buy the board. That's a "project" I don't want to tackle again. LoL...

This Caribbean Cask Balvanie was all they had at my local liquor store, not sure how it will compare to the "standard" Balvanie.

The Glenlivet 18 years was about $125 USD, and that Caribbean Cask Balvanie was also about $125 USD, so I went with the cheaper Glenlivet 12 years.

I remember when I turned 19 (the drinking age in Canada), I used to drink Jack Daniels because it seemed cool enough for Slash. A guy told me it was rubbish and that I should drink Glen Fiddich, which I did for years, not because I liked it but because I wanted to appear refined. I think that is as close to Glenlivet as I've ever come, so I'm curious to give it a go.

As for the chess board, I'm looking for big, fancy pieces for my offices. I have a Mad Men whisky collection in my office which draws a lot of comments, and I'm thinking a chess board would also be an interesting touch, though will likely gather dust, since I think everyone plays online now.

What is this and how do I get one? Hopefully it does not involve procuring whiskey bottles from the '50s. Pics please....

You know the reason that I’m not wearing these beautiful Higgins Mill.

Chili Mac. These shoes for eaten up while I was on a work trip. What do you all use for edge dressing for a chili shoe?

They look nice! I think I prefer by brown welt, interestingly. Maybe it's because like EVERY Alden has a lighter welt nowadays.

The first and last WTW with my current employer. Not going to lie, it is a daily struggle to actually want to do any work knowing I only have 3 days left.
