I've wondered how many people are on TSM's Alden shell lists, who are not here. I often forget that we are a sub-set of Alden people, and there are legions (well maybe not that many) who are Alden rare shell fans, but not SF members.
I didn't even realize it, but a friend from college lives not far from TSM. He texted me a pic of an Indy boot a while back and said, should I? I asked how he was able to find a custom makeup (Natty CXL, maybe on Commando)? He responded - oh, I come in here all the time, I've bought a dozen pairs of shoes here. I had him ask if there was anything lying around in an 8.5 or 8 Trubalance in rare shell. Of course they said nope.
But, once I found out, I started texting him pics of the rare shell stock at Alden DC. Now our college friends group text has a guy who lives in Seattle and goes to Brick and Mortar. We all know each others' sizes in case there's something interesting hanging around.
