From Adam. Alpine/Scotch grain saddles. My first Plaza last. 10.5D Barrie/TB and 11D is a perfect fit. Great service as always.

Thanks. I never imagined owning saddles and then saw these and pulled the trigger. Was nervous about the sizing but plaza TTS for me is a great fit. Think at some point I may get these fitted with Dainite soles.

Also recently received the Sloat* PTB from Unionmade. Natural CXL is my favorite. Trubalance is so comfortable and I really like the neocork.

This morning, 8:50am, Pine St, NYC - Black Alden Boots, looked like plain toe, brass eyelets, perhaps crepe sole? Maybe not. Couldn't tell. Fast walker.

Was that one of you gents?

Sighting in the wild? Those are as rare as rare shell!

Too funny. I saw the picture and thought.......man, I gotta get a pair of those. Completely forgot I sold them to you. They look great (slacks are killer too). Glad they found a good home.



Hard to believe anything could one-up your boots, but those pants...hot damn!!



What are the pants?


Thanks guys!! They were both fun to wear. The pants are called olive-lovat highlander plaid from the last Epaulet and Hertling ends for friends.

Fantastic color and terrific shine! I've never cared for saddles, but those are outrageously great. Adam's killing it...

And once again, the best pants on SF are from EP. Looking great there! I love the dark cigar.

My stock 9070 cap toe in #8 arrived today. Just a really nice shoe that fits well. I'm looking forward to adding it to the rotation.

Yeah I'm blown away by just how comfortable right out the box. First Alden boots I've bought and kept (after buying 3 others and returning for various reasons). TB last is like a glove for my foot. Cheers.

They are aweomse boots. Its unfortunate that Alden will no longer do the black with antique welt. Id say color 8 instead but then we lose the brass eyelets. I wonder if they were sent for a recraft, if Alden would change the welt to black. Id be terribly disappointed.
