They look great. I was never a loafer person until very recently but after trying an LHS I've been hooked ever since. Have three pairs of unlined ones now (shell, CXL and suede) and looking to potentially add one or two more

I get it!

Thanks, and odd as this may seem, they are my first pair of LHS.

And now you have a new style to collect the entire set!

I love the Chromexel on those LHSes.. should wear like iron with little maintenance.. which always was my main attraction to shell aside from the beauty .. I didn't like polishing shoes for work back in the day..

Wearing these old things again (my first Aldens; purchased in the Spring of 2004 or 2005):

One of my favorite Alden patterns - the “Campus Bal”. This is the 928 in black calfskin on the Aberdeen Last. The pattern is essentially the bal version of the atom blucher.

This one was made for shop called Bunce Brothers Clothing in Cleveland. Are any of you guys familiar that shop. They appear to have long been closed. Trying to date this pair and I’m thinking they are potentially 1988.
