Alden Madison and Guarded Goods laces for a rare trip out of the house these days

I don't have a lot on my phone, but greens, greys, even red/burgundy are great. I wear navy chinos too, but rarely jeans.
Sorry. Some AE in there.

Those whole cut slip-ons are tremendous! Brick+Mortar?

Indeed

 

[jischwar]

This is a nice general school of thought but seriously, I have yet to see either the color or pattern of slacks that doesn't pair well with well-cared for 8. Don't believe me, take a another look at @madhat recent post. It's the genius and beauty of 8.

Anything but black in my book!

Unlined shell, sweats, and baby jail. A weird combo for these weird times.

I told myself no more purchases but caved when this opportunity presented itself via email from our friends at AoDC. 2020 Ravello. I hate they had to close their doors yesterday (temporarily) and I wish them and everyone else nothing but the best.

 

[jischwar]

Dumb question, but what's the process of getting on rare shell lists?

Very sad to hear that AoDC is closing. They were a great retailer who provided A-1 customer service.

No way you pass on those beauties. Man Matt, those are exceptional. Congrats!

They will be back. It’s only a temporary measure.

They’ll be back, temporarily closing due to DC city non essential business shutdown.

Thanks for the clarification on AoDC guys. Very relieved to hear.

Stunning. Aberdeen?

Thats my grail pair right there. I would trade any of my rare shell for that shoe. I have NIB whiskey boots (Plaza and Trubalance) and Ravello WTB boots (Barrie) in case anyone with a 10.5D is interested in a trade. Congrats on that sweet pickup!

Morning guys. A steady diet of denim has me trying some new combos.
