Is this model exclusive to Frans Boone?

Madison makes this on the Hampton Last. This Frans version is on the Copley Last. It also has a split-reverse welt, which is a little odd to me on a balmoral.

Hello Fellow Alden Fans

I am pleased to announce the coming of Brogue gentlemen’s shop in Menlo Park, California.

Brogue will feature two of my all-time favorite menswear brands: Alden Shoes and Robert Talbott Shirts. Brogue will open carrying over 15 different styles of Alden shoes and over 20 styles of California-made Robert Talbott sport shirts designed jointly by Brogue's owner Mack, and Mark Calder, head of design at Robert Talbott. I was privileged to be present while these shirts were being designed, and they are going to be some of the most beautiful shirts in the world.

Brogue’s grand opening is planned for Friday, April 15th, and Saturday, April 16th. Representatives from Alden (Fri/Sat) and Robert Talbott (Sat) will be on hand. If you are in the area, please come by, see the new store, and meet the owners Mack and Momo. (781 Santa Cruz Ave.)

Would this be a coveted item, if it were shell cordovan?

Once again did not get the 8 or 8.5 lists.

Neither did I! Do we sign up again?

PM me your email addresses. I can send you the 8.5D/E lists.

I agree - the welt does make the makeup strange

Thank you Sazon. Yes, he's going to do great. He's a big Alden fan, and Silicon Valley is long overdue for an Alden source.
