Alden x LeatherSoul today. Love these boots. Flat welt on barrie looks phenomenal.

Wearing the 9501’s today.

Managed to put a spot on the toe while trying to care for them over the past week. It appeared while I was wiping them down with a damp cloth. I guess it was dirty? Any suggestions for what I might try? It’s not terrible but it’s bugging me a little.

GRAIL DAY!
2 grails + 1 day = GRAIL DAY
What’s that? I boldly announced it was time to slow it down, put the brakes on any incoming. But it’s grail day....

Night on the town with these beauties. Maybe one day my Alden collection will rival my putter collection...

And on the subject of pickups, here's mine. Cigar LHS.

Super happy with the shade on these. Already showing depth and I haven't even worn them! Storytime! I had originally gotten these in my Barrie size, but I was getting heel slip. Had to return. That was a sad day. Maybe 1-2 years ago. So for the record, I take these a full size down from my Brannock. For the newbs, loafer sizing is tricky. Always try on in the store.

Also, even though these are single sole, the sole is slightly thicker than my only other LHS, the Brooks unlined one. I measured. I measured on the

Doesn't get much better than the AF53A. Original AF53 in continuous production since 2003. I wonder what the first editions look like now :)?

Wow, some incredible rare birds flying around this forum. @gilby , dude, wow! 2 in 1 day. Plain toe anything is always great but those cigars are instant classics. @Misterg12 , very nice bookends you have there. Grant last, flat welt, man, very nice. Nothing rare about @patrick_b 's AF53's, but man, that is as good as it gets.

Nothing new for me, but I did get my whiskey LHS's back from repair.

Very pleased with the repair. Still not thrilled with the refinishing but I knew the risk of sending lighter shell in for a recraft. No complaints.

Lastly, what's missing from this picture. Would not mind if some Ravello flew my way. If not, I'm very happy with my modest family.

Stunning lineup.
You’ll be hard pressed to find ravellos or anything else that look as good as your whiskey.

They look great! I’ve owned a lot of Whiskey Shell throughout the years. They all darken with time and these look exceptional Shawnc. Nice repair work.. can’t tell anything out of order, beautiful shoe. Wear and enjoy in good health my brother..

Any of you have the LeatherSoul Vintage Indy? I would love to see pics and hear war stories about its durability. Cheers!
