I think that it should be no problem for us to order this - I'm thinking to do the preorder next Friday.


Mike, how many units do you think would be possible for the boot? Missed out on the alt wein pre-order but would love to get in on this. Eta I'm guessing would be on par for most alden pre-orders? I'm already down for the Innsbruck, but this would be an awesome make up!

Is it possible to do an Alden group buy for a milkshake suede LWB? Say with a natural welt and darker/contrasting laces & a leather sole?

Of course! Although that color might be better to do for the July round, as it would then be delivered Spring 16. If we set it up next week, you'd probably get it right at the end of Summer or start of Fall, which won't be as milkshake-friendly.

We can generally do 18-unit runs on Shell Cordovan Aldens

Very cool - I like this suggestion. It's easy to take that Combat Boot last size zip and simply make it a plain front. The last and sole work really nicely as it stands, and the fit is excellent. Would knock a bit off the retail too. I'll look into that.
This is why Epaulet gets the lion's share of my custom.

Same goes for sneakers. Do you guys have a dream suede color for the Tennis Trainer? They could be made in nearly any color that you can imagine. I'd be happy to set up a group buy for that, and we could easily deliver them to you for like $185 if they're all preordered. Sport trainer could be done as well for 10 bucks more.

I'd love a washed navy or slate blue suede tennis trainer. I find that true navy sneakers can look a bit too matchy w/ denim, but when there's some grey added to the mix, they work just as well w/ denim as they do w/ khakis.

Awesome. Looking forward to announcements and hopefully I can get something in. Thanks!

I love suede too. Not even sure what to ask for!

Washed down burgundy? Variant of that green shade in Couro Chromo? (I only passed on the pre-order there due to some more pressing $$ needs). Something along the lines of "natural?" Deep, rich orange--like the wool rivets from a ways back?

Oh and +1 for @Louys plain side zip boot suggestion. I can absolutely see myself in a pair of these from Epaulet. Glad to hear this sounds doable.

Nice shoes. What size?

Also, did Alden start making black shell with antique soles again? I remember reading that the LS Pitt boots would be the last run. Was that just BS?

Olive and French Blue yes, Brown and Navy no. We've got a few new Doyle's in work too. Should be here around mid-March.

Ah, that doesn't make any sense. As long as they have the black shell, I don't see why they wouldn't put it on an antique sole.
