Any Alden bros heading to the Masters this year? I was fortunate enough to score tickets for Thursday’s round. Sadly I don’t think I’m gonna wear Aldens though because it’s supposed to be a thousand degrees and I don’t own loafers.

I wish.
Have a great time, and please share some photos.

Perfect occasion to buy loafers. May I recommend unlined suede?

Sadly DV, it appears that no cell phones or cameras are allowed Thursday-Sunday.

I will be there Monday, but will not be wearing Aldens.....very excited for my 12 year old son to experience Augusta National for the first time!

Spring has come.

Fascists.

I’m surprised they don’t have some Disneyesque Memory Maker thing you can buy for an exorbitant fee.

Wondering when the pair was made, seems more like 1998 than 2008

Not sure who they were made for. You could email Alden to ask. Adam at AoC might know, but I don’t think he ever offered a mahogany shell LWB.

Gentlemen, I've been a longtime AE shoe wearer but recently (like, yesterday) started going down the Alden LHS rabbit hole and want some desperately. To my disappointment, I learned that I'm literally a week or so late on the BB sale. A question - any chance I can still get a pair from BB? And any guidance on exactly what I should be asking for? I don't see any Aldens on the website.

Thanks for any help.

Call them. Surely they can check the various stores for a pair in your size. Sounds like you need to figure out your size still. Maybe it’ll be easy for you. You may also find a pair on eBay - maybe even a new one. Do you have an idea what size you might be?

Anyone else have "special" feet like me? For just about every AE last, I'm a 9D. For Barrie/Trubalance I'm an 8.5D. When I was at the DC store, Van last I'm an 8D. It's snug but not painful at all. Tried 8.5D and wasn't going to work. Felt weird going down a full size but hey, I'm blessed the Van last fits because loafers.
