Happy Wednesday forum pals. Navy blue CXL for wingtip Wednesday. I find it difficult to capture their true shade.

Alden x Mr Sid tobacco chamois WTB

I've been liking pictures of tobacco chamois (non-reverse) a lot lately. Been considering a pair of Indys in that skin, but also debating the Leather Soul Vintage Indy. Maybe that's a distinction without a difference. Not sure that chamois and oiled nubuck are different.

Of course, I have a special makeup coming in December, so I really don't need another Indy. But, who couldn't use another one.

Thought you all might appreciate these. They are not my first Alden’s. But, they are my first Alden Shell Cordovan LWB.

They are now among my very favorites of all my shoes:

Speaking of tobacco smoothout chamois, any shoe (not boot) makeups out there other than the stock PTB?

A little bit of vignetting gave this a real 2011 Instagram feel

Another addition to the closet. I've been sitting on these for a few months since I lost my job and haven't gotten around to wearing them. They'll be in action soon. I didn't bother to brush the bloom away, so enjoy a bit of bloomy goodness!

I've been after this particular pair for a while and I had to wait since I am not a non-stock size; well worth it. One of my favorite designs and lasts to knock it out of the park!

Big thanks to AoM for their (always) excellent service! I know the good Doctor @smfdoc has a slightly different pair and @mdubs had a pair a while ago.

Alden model 9854, one that I haven't seen on these pages.

I dig those - and can't recall, who does the make up with the leather sole?

These were from Brogue.

Thank you - and that's great to hear, maybe I'll actually make more than one purchase at a retailer. I've been mostly spread around searching for specific make ups.

Love them! I hope mine will be with me soon, from the EU so it'll take a couple of more days to get them.
Lovely pair of shoes. I was heavily in doubt with a pair of C&J Westminsters in cordovan.
