Really??  I'd be looking for reasons to wear those things!  The good news is you and I are the same size...

Can't believe I passed on this one. It could be years before this gets run again.

Gentlemen!
*Update*
I ask for your opinions on this matter - I currently have a pair of brown chromexcel Alden indy boots, which I love. Thinking about getting another one in snuff suede or black chromexcel... Anyone photos that can better clarify the situation?
Don't really know what I can really match with black boots...
Thanks for the help! :)
i vote for snuff. recently bought a pair w red brick sole and love them.
TSM marketing email from the good old days.
2009?!?!!? they sold aldens back then?

i had not found uncle mac's pictures yet. i was going through my "prada sport" period...
Wow... if only things were available like that today.. (Been on a ravello list for over a year already lol)

Looking at some old order emails from TSM, calfskin Indys were $315 in early 2008.
In Nov 2009, cigar LWBs were $650.
Feb 2011, Whiskey PTBs were $632
May 2013, Whiskey LHS were $704

@BenLeaman


you're a lucky man! Congrats and best wishes !


Thanks Joe!


Congrats Senior Leaman! Enjoy your upcoming unicorn!

-Mike


Thanks Mike, better than any ravello shell.


This will be daughter #2 for my wife and me. Our first was about five and a half years ago - right around the same time that I pre-ordered my Ravello "Brixton" boots from Epaulet... and I'm still waiting on them.


We're shooting for two girls also. Good luck on those Ravello Brixton ;)


my suggestion is to wear shoes you'll be comfortable sleeping in :)


Nice suggestion as I'm sure it will happen.


Solid advice!

I wore a beat up pair of Clark's to my son's birth. You never know when you'll get hit by....Er......shrapnel (gross).

But as both my kids were born in under 2 hours from labor to delivery (my wife is tough like that, south Asian genes and all), I didn't get to experience much of the "magic" of delivery room camping.

Anyways, congrats and good luck!!!!


Thank you. I'll be certain to stay aware that I'm sitting in the splash zone.


Yeah Buddy! Congrats! My wife and I are expecting in June!.


Thanks, congratulations to you and your wife!


A huge congratulations!


Thank you!
