This chamois stuff is ultra comfortable.

Tell us about the jacket please, Mr. Chest.

Jacket is the apolis indigo wool chore coat. I picked it up on grailed around a month and a half ago. I’ve really liked it a lot. It’s become my new daily jacket for business casual wear. Once it gets worn in and faded I’ll probably retire it to more casual wear

Dope. Thanks for the linky.

Now we need to see them all spruced up to prove it. Thanks in advance!

Here you go, these are work boots, so damp wipe, some VSC and brushing and here they are.

Davis Boot got the call this morning.

The "long national nightmare" has ended after missing out on the Leffot version and I finally obtained the Indy makeup I wanted. Brown CXL, brass eyelets and hooks, 360 welt and commando sole. This is an AoC makeup. Maiden voyage.

I have never seen this makeup on the AoC website, how did you get them?

They are called the brown CXL all terrain boot, AoC 42. Link. It was just an open pre-order and I signed up for a pair in EEE. Adam currently has pairs available in D width as part of his regular order.

Update: They are actually AoC 105. See information on these a few posts down.

So did you have the A/T sole converted to commando?

I've seen that boot but it claims an AT sole not the commando. Looks much better on the commando.

So similar to my last poll question...

If you could only wear one pair of Aldens for a week, what would you choose?

(I know the answer will vary with work environment, and wardrobe situations, just curious to responses. Also I know no one in this thread would dare wear a pair of shoes back to back haha)

I'll start, I'd have to go with lhs #8. I feel like this covers 98% of my pants and even shorts if the weather was nice.

No. They come with commando soles. Perhaps this is a terminology or typo issue on the website. No sole options were given. I just ordered a pair and this is the way they come. But there is also the possibility I am pointing out the wrong boot or that AoC offers two different boots, with the soles being the only difference. I will inquire further.
