BBUnlined today as it’s going to be warm.. View attachment 1190001
Squeak update: no that's not cocaine and yes it brushes right off. Squeak still audible but not near as loud. At this level I'm very comfortable wearing them to work. Since it's self proclaimed snuff week for me these have a few more days to be closer to squeak free. Bonus, they smell like new born baby cordovan

(Going for that @mdubs shallow depth of field effect here...)
it took me a while to find a calfskin captoe boot in a Barrie last and finally found one. I’m usually a 8d or 8e in the Barrie last, but those were for shell Cordovan shoes and this was my first calfskin shoe from Alden. For some reason my gut feeling told me to get a 8.5d. I’m so glad I did that. I just don’t see how I would fit an 8. If I actually wanted to, I probably could’ve fit a 9d. Is this normal to adjust your size between different leathers?

After 3 months of sun fading these two Color 8 pairs, my “Sunrello” shoes are at the perfect color for me.
The color is somewhere between Ravello and Mocha. A nice red/brown mixture.

More CIGAR, because I screwed it up last time. View attachment 1191728
To those interested in the slip on chukkas, the elastic is different than I imagined. Not vamp to quarters like I expected; they're stitched. View attachment 1191809
Black shell is underrated. I have 3 pairs, but no loafers.

My chosen form to celebrate Flag Day is to go with red, white and blue. A great day to wear the 990s. The colors on the first picture are a little strange from the mercury vaper lights at the gas station. Make it a great weekend and don't forget that Sunday is Father's day.

Friend and his son coming over this afternoon to go fishing, it doesn't look like it will stop raining. Was going to wear a pair of AE Caen boots, but switched to these, which I KNOW are pretty impervious to water. Last time worn was during winter, as they are the boots of choice to shovel snow. View attachment 1192602
Crew Alpine LHS single waterlock .. not flex, these are very stiff soles and I like them. Love the dark piping.. very solidly built shoe and well suited for rain. View attachment 1192747
Fishing in the rain was fun, friends son had his first fishing "trip" and caught 4 nice bluegill's and 1 small mouth bass (threw the bass back as it was small). Changed into Brogue "Dusky" boot for the evening. Something about black suede that is nice for an evening boot. View attachment 1192754 View attachment 1192755
