Those Cigar straight tips are simply awesome, can you shrink them to a 9D?????

I hear that stuffing the toe box with socks can help.

Me too. I’m looking for another pair of Indy’s. It says they have a rubber sole but I’m not sure which

Looks like a neo-cork sole to me. J Crew's descriptions have a history of being inaccurate.

Not 2 whole sizes I'm afraid

Bummer. I’m looking for a pair I can wear in the winter outdoor and I hear they don’t do well in snowy conditions

Mailperson just delivered these from Brogue. Have to Tarrago Nano Spray, but NEW SUEDE BOOTS!!!!

Try some of the AoC Indy's with full lug sole.

Anyone get the early access JCrew email today? Me neither, but saw they have at least a couple of new Alden makeups. I don’t think I’ve seen this rubber sole before? (If that’s what it is) But I like the makeup, would be awesome with brass!

The code Autumn DOES work, just sayin' Ship date should be November 1 or thereabouts.

Looking good! I had considered the earth reverse chamois plain toe boots Yenni has (had? Haven’t checked to see if they’re still in the site) but with the earth chamois Indy filling my black casual boot need, I will probably abstain. I just don’t find much room in my wardrobe for black.

I really like those, though. Especially with the antique edge and brass hardware!

Edit: on closer inspection, the hardware looks silver.

Hardware is silver, and with black suede is a good combo. I'm afraid that the black suede AE Caen boots have been replaced in rotation

The Reverse Chamois plain toe's are a great boot and I know that you can fit them in your footwear rotation, just have to not wear Rancourt one day a week. Have a great Monday evening!!!!

I was able to get the natural cxl wingtip with discount before my size sold out. That blue suede is so beautiful though, if only i haven’t got a cxl indy already. Good to see jcrew is getting more creative with their Alden co-op.

So there I was, strolling down the sidewalk, and there was an interesting store that needed some closer inspection. A good time was had by all.

Tobacco chamois on TB.

Sweet! I'm trying to figure out how to get the wife to want to vacation in Seattle, as I want to go to the store. Haven't figured out the angle yet, but I will.......
