Dog has no interest in pictures today. Too much other important stuff to do and sniff I guess.

@sazon Where are those Herringbone pants from? They look great.

Thank you. J Crew 2017.

That’s an AoM reverse tobacco chamois model. They typically come with all brass eyelets.

Well, I like them!

My latest addition to the cult. More on the way.

You know, you are now "hooked" on boots, it is an addiction (I know, believe me I know) but we can quit any time we want to.......

Well, I like them!

My apologies as it’s an AOC model.

That would explain why they are not on the AoM site

AoC 48?

 

[audog]

Come for the shoes, stay for the funny haircut.

Don't forget the saffron robes.

AoC 48?

Yes. AOC 48

OK, who's make-up and leather is ????

AoC, reverse chamois. I added the hooks as the make up has all eyelets. I believe it is AoC 48.

And that begs the next question, who did the hooks??? I like that makeup and hooks.

Raul at Willies shoe service in LA.

I have learned that there are two types of hooks that can be installed. The first leaves the eyelets in place and then is spread in the back of the eyelet. The second was is to remove the eyelets and the mushroom out the back of the hooks widely into the leather. This was done on the darker shoe. The first method is seen on some suede boots. The second method seems more secure. It’s harder to get a loose hook this way.

I wish alden would go to real hooks...I generally am not a fan of hooks unless on a hiker. Damn I hate Aldens with a passion...from spacing to size.....Ok..probably the 90th time I have posted this LOL...

love the look of your hooks...looks like those are a little easier to use than stock and wont wreck your boots if you are a leg crosser

Both are beautiful. Really love the Sinn, I owned a Sinn 104 that I sold earlier this year. They make some great watches!

These seem a little too expensive for how worn they look, but hey, cigar cordovan!

You know there is nonsense in the air when the seller (Leffot) says they have been carefully inspected to verify they are genuine.
