Cigar Indys and PBJ denim.

Oh hell yes!

I know this is the Alden thread but the EG thread wasn't very helpful. Does anyone have sizing experience with Edward Green compared to Alden sizes? I'm looking at a shoe on the 606 last and a boot on the 82 last.

I'm a 8.5 Barrie/Trubalance, 9 plaza. Would a 8.5/9 be the right size for these EG lasts?

Thanks in advance!

I took my barrie size for the 82 last (Galway), seemed to work out well.

So. My early entry to whisky Wednesday. I couldn't get the LHS to fit and couldn't get to DC to try on many sizes, so next best thing from C&J.

Just to clarify, do you mean you took your Barrie size in us or uk for the 82 last?

Oops yeah. Took my barrie size number and ordered in UK. So in your case, 8.5 UK for EG 82 last.

We are the same size.

I am 8.5D Barrie. I took 8.5E UK for the Dover on 606 and it fits well for me.

Harvards? Tried this on in store but couldn't quite pull the trigger. Maybe I'll give them another look. It was amazing to see whiskey shell available off the shelf.

Alden Unlined Whiskey Shell Cordovan LHS. Gustin Okayama Standard Selvedge Denim.

Mike, those have darkened substantially, haven't they? Mine (unused) are still a raw, light shade.

Yes, at least to start.

Beware the widths. Green's philosophy is that their shoes should fit snugly in width- like a slipper. Snugger than most Americans are used to. So no translation in widths is necessary. That is of course different than (all?) other British makers. For example, a C&J E equals an American D.

Proof of this you say? The sizing written inside the shoes shows two lengths but only one width.

These C&Js are so nice. I would consider trading my Whiskey LHS for these in the right shade. Edward Green has started to do a lot in whiskey as well. Alden really should start delivering their Ravello and Whiskey rare shells...

I noticed this on my indy boots as I was putting my trees in tonight. There less than a month old and only worn maybe a dozen times. What does alden offer for a warranty on repairs like this or should I just take for a local repair.

Seems to be typical...my Indys had some of the worst stitching I've ever seen on a shoe or boot.
