First pair of Alden shell from eBay and my first outing in them. #8 LHS.

This could become a bad habit...

Guys I think I messed up. I've fallen in love with the Alden x Epaulet Innsbruck Indy boot and I dont know if it will ever be made again. Does anyone out there offer a similar make up? Brown Indy with gold eyelets and a commando sole?

They look to be the same price for me -- $728 for tassels and full-strap, $748 for LHS.

For some reason the email they sent me had the 25% increase but when I searched the item without using the email embedded link it was back to normal. Hmm.

When I close browser and search BB cordovan loafer:

Yeah, that is weird.

Yeah, that is weird.

I’ll just take it as a sign I should get a pair sooner than later.

Yeah, I had the exact same problem. I even found a new pair on Ebay in my size, paid full retail and then the seller cancelled the order. Asshat! So, I did order a similar boot from AoC, described as Indy Boot, Brown CXL, Trubalance Last, Commando Sole, Brass Eyelets & Hooks, Antique Pre-Stitched Reverse Welt, Antique Sole Edge, Tan Mocc. Stitch. Link here. Delivery in April and the order is still open.

That's exactly what I'm looking for. Go styleforum!

Whiskey and Port today. Still infatuated with these TSM LWBs. New delivery today so I can load balance. Not nearly so exciting. Pics later most likely.

BB has increased the price for their Alden loafers by 25%. Oh boy. @Shawnc good work getting yours earlier and during the sale.

I can't believe I was hesitant. Regardless of price they have instantly become one of my favorites. Your insight was definitely helpful.

Swapped the 8’s for Amaretto for the day.

Dude. C'mon, man........

Sometimes we don't even have to work very hard to convince ourselves to buy a new pair of Aldens.
