That's one of my Alden grails. I wouldn't bat an eye paying for that if it came in my size. Alden could unleash a flood of rare shell a few months later, and while I might wince a bit, I wouldn't second guess that decision.

Cigar captoe boots a la AoM.
Looking stellar in your Cigar CT Boots Repp.

Looking superb as always today Don!
Tanker Tuesday -- and continuing with my black shell theme for the week...
In my opinion, the NST boot is one of the best looking Aldens there is.
I agree with your assessment and your Black Shells is no exception. Looking great and classy.
I dropped in on a very-busy Alden of SF today, and had a closer look at the chukkas I saw last time. They've got them in brown, natty and black (I think) CXL and have an unfinished edge that is really cool. I saw the same edge on some PTB's and boots too...
Very awesome...
Very awesome indeed, the Natty CXL looks great with Natural edges.
Whiskey Saturday...got dragged to a male fashion event. Seems like I'm the only one sporting Aldens apparently

Not too surprised, but sure that you are a notch above everyone else.

First one with flash. All my shells finally received the biannual Reno application. No wax.
Glad to see them getting some love! Your Whiskeys are looking great and nicely nourished.
Unlined color 8 shell cordovan penny loafers on Van last modified at Anatomica. Very happy with these.
Very cool to see the LHS pattern on a different Last. Hope they fit you well!
One of my favorites today. Plaza lasted SW boot courtesy of Leffot.
One of your favorites for a good reason. It's a beautiful boot and plays perfectly with the Plaza Last.

Always a good day for Whiskey!
Totally agree that black shell is much overlooked!

Finally got over my fears and have been wearing my 4060's to work. Noticed that I had a little thread hanging out and left it be thinking it was just a small tail that could be singed down but haven't done that yet. Ordered a set of laces and went to swap today to see what I'm concerned is an issue. I've had them since April, wore them a few hours indoors then to a wedding in May and probably 3 times a week since August in an office. Some minor scuffs from my chair and how I cross my feet but finally starting to break in and see some depth in the color. They do need cleaned up now as seen in the pics.














Really grinds me as I'm on pair #2 from another maker that haven't been right outta the box, three times now.

My Innsbruck Indy boots from Epaulet. These boots are the exact configuration I was looking for in an Indy. Brown CXL, Commando Sole, Hooks (the stained welt and brass eyelets are a nice bonus). I was fortunate enough to work just blocks from Brick and Mortar in Seattle, so I was able to get properly sized in person (TruBalance 9, Brannock 10). Unfortunately Brick and Mortar didn't have my size in an Indy with Commando Sole at the time, but they were kind enough to help size me anyway. THANKS!
Lucky for me Epaulet had one more 9 in their Innsbruck build. I'm thrilled. Here is is...

Not exotic/rare shell cordovans but here are few new arrivals from Alden F/W 2016 collection now in stock ;) Cheers!
That brown Plaza cap toe looks great. Someone should make that in Ravello (if Ravello ever becomes available again...).
