Any particular reason why fifth avenue over PA?

+1 on FA over PA. The PA are just a little too plain for me. I like the small amount of broguing. (ALthough I prefer Strands to either). I would be very happy with PA's if they only cost, say $39......

I'm selling a pair of AE shell cordovan Cambridge in size 13AAA if anybody has that size by chance. They have only been worn twice. See the sales threads for more pics.

Maybe. I'm not concerned about the scuffs. It's the size of the right heel cup that gets my attention.

Hi there, were these worth the price? Thanks

Anyone else getting antsy for their chili web gems?

Thes

Two great business staples.

Those are the sleekest looking pair of Park Aves I've ever seen (probably why the width question was asked). Maybe a pair in my size of 10.5 would look as good.

The Strands remind me of my dark brown Fifth Street boots. Love them and they rock with all my suits. Great choices here!

PAs are too plain for me. A little broguing makes it a little more fun to wear.

Just picked these up for 2 bills at the Rack. Called "Links" and they were new to me. Looks like a custom Shelton of sorts, same last I think.

Thanks! Do the PAs usually look clunky otherwise?

My MTO Walnut Shell Macneils should arrive today. It has been about a 10 week wait. It is gonna be a long day.... I can't wait to get home and see them.

Anyone have experience with Holton loafers? I have a chance to pick up a lightly used pair of brown ones for $45 shipped. Thanks!

 

[njruss]

Lso, any tips on belt care? Just picked up a couple of AE belt seconds.

Just that you shouldn't polish it or you'll likely stain your pants (I asked a long time ago and was warned not to). I think any leather conditioner/cleaner should be enough. So AE Conditioner/Cleaner or Saphir Renovateur to clean, or just AE Leather Lotion.

What belt seconds did you get and for how much? I've never tried.

I've never thought about conditioning my belts, but it makes total sense. Some of mine are looking rather dry.
