Are the brown Longwing Allen Edmonds dated? Out of style?
Thanks for the reply. I was not sure.No, it's a classic style. It may or may not go with your wardrobe, however.
Thanks for the reply. I was not sure.
Specifically what wardrobe? My understanding is that they are the most casual of the brogue shoe. My thinking was that a nice pair of denim would work and perhaps a sports coat or blazer?
Thanks again.

Are 5-pocket jeans dated?
The reason is that American versions of this design are traditionally of the 'gunboat' variety: double soles, extended welts and very solid lasts. You can take the design, but remove the extra-heavy components of making. You might not end-up with a ballroom shoe, but you'll have a smart town shoe.
Here is one that I had made a few years ago:

Although this one is bespoke, there are European manufacturers who have the 'Longwing-light' in their catalogue. Edward Green does a very nice version and I've seen other manufacturers offering the style at the recent 'Super Trunk Show' in London.
For instance, Mr Andromedon is wearing a 8-pocket version of the “Mississippi Tuxedo”, a more summer-friendly version of its Canadian cousin. Feel free to commission your own on Fresco, or Crispaire. Ideal for sipping some Pinot Noir or Lemonade on the porch.What other jeans are there?
