UNIFORM LA CHILLICOTHE WORK JACKET Drop, going on right now.
Uniform LA's Chillicothe Work Jacket is an elevated take on the classic Detroit Work Jacket. Made of ultra-premium 14-ounce Japanese canvas, it has been meticulously washed and hand distressed to replicate vintage workwear that’s been worn for years, and available in three colors.
This just dropped today. If you missed out on the preorder, there are some sizes left, but they won't be around for long. Check out the remaining stock here
Good luck!.

Looks awesome, walnut Strand is a classic for sure. Where are those socks from?
Haha not sure if you'd wear then because they're purposely mismatched socks from a brand called the athletic. They're used more as cycling socks but I have a hard time finding dress socks that fit my foot size and these fit well and are thin. This is the other sock. I guess I could've bought two pairs to match them!
Edit: Hmm I might just do that and buy another pair to match them haha
Love the Macneils. One of AE's best models.My Leeds are quite light like the ones recently posted, I am further trying to lighten them as I love the look for casual use. I have been leaving them out in the sun whenever possible, hoping to post some pics when I start to see them turning.
My MacNeils on the other hand are quite dark and I am going to try and keep it that way by getting some Saphir cordovan cream to use on them.
Just ordered a pair of bourbon McAllister's, and I want to do the shining thing right this time. Some questions:
Is this guide generally regarded as good advice?
What color Saphir product is recommended for bourbon shoes?
Any recommended vendors for Saphir products, brushes, and the like (aside from Hanger Project)?
Thanks!
Remember - guides like that are written by companies that are promoting the sale of products. You don't need to use 3 different, expensive products. You need the proper shoe cream, simple horse hair brush, chamois and cotton applicator. the steps are simple:
1. Clean off dirt (skip if new)
2. Apply cream in light circular motion
3. Buff off with brush
4. Repeat 2-3
5. Buff with chamois
About 2 coats and you are good to go. I do a light buffing every few wears. No need to go crazy polishing them every few wears.
And, most importantly, don't forget edge dressing - it's the leather sole that gets scuffed the most - AE actually makes a nice product - they reduced the size so you no longer have an applicator 4 times the size of the sole you're rubbing it along
But you don't need a conditioner, cream and wax polish. Simple still works as well today as it did 30 years ago. As long as the leather quality is good that's the important part.
Picked up a pair of Mora 2.0s during the Anniversary sale, and after swapping them in store for a different size (from 9D to 8D) I am having second thoughts. The fit is good, has anyone had to size down an entire size for these? The only other decent shoes I have are from Meermin but I wear a 8D UK size in those. I am concerned from hearing that the toe box creases fairly badly from not a lot of wear and although I picked these up for $260 am considering returning these. Does anyone have thoughts on swapping these for the Meermin double monks (Hiro last fits me great)? I feel like I am taking a step down but am worried the Mora 2.0 are one of AEs worst models. Also make McAllisters on the way which I have no concerns with.
Somehow this step has been lacking in my current rotation of shoes. How often do apply edge dressing?

Again, perhaps I'm a bit more forgiving in my expectations for a 260$ shoe. My Rutledges have some creasing on the right toe box, but I think that has likely more to do with the shape of my foot than any inherent flaw in the pattern...Quote:
I think he was referring to creases below the captoe stitching. To the original poster, While I love AE, I can't say that Meermin is below AE in terms of construction. In terms of quality control, acessibility, customer service etc....that's another story. With that said, AE is my perferred choice if the shoes fit.
