THE OFFICIAL ALDEN THREAD FOR 2020 - SHARE REVIEWS, SIZING, ADVICE, AND PHOTOS.

Cigar LHSes for dentist and finally picking up the newly serviced Cobra from the dealer. Looking forward to taking my wife and the dog on some tours this Summer. Doesn’t look like we’ll be headed to Hawaii or Europe anytime soon so we punt.

Has there been an earth reverse chamois loafer make up? I'd throw my wallet at one if so

Not that I can recall seeing at least. TSM has a relatively new one in reverse tobacco

Been eyeing that too. I have "too many" reverse tobacco pairs and only the one earth reverse. Trying to balance the chamois ? ?

I'm not yet putting them in the B/S/T thread, but I have a pair of Unionmade Color 8 WTBs from 2014 that I'm keen to move in order to fund a pair of Color 8 WTBs that actually fit me. These were my first pair of Aldens, and I jumped on the last pair Unionmade had before I knew my Alden size. Specs: the older non-eggplant Color 8, 10.5D on Barrie last, flat 360 welt, all eyelets, double leather sole. I'd reckon they have 15-20 wears at the very most. I can take some pictures if anyone has interest, but putting a feeler out first for SF pals.

Size?

Size?

Dangit, I included it but somehow proofread it out. I edited it in the post above. Thanks for pointing that out!

Has there been an increase in rare shell posted on the ‘bay? I wonder if folks are liquidating due to the crisis? I see more than usual in my sizes.

I have to agree with your hypothesis, COVID selling.

Thanks - unfortunately, not my size.

Not that anyone cares, or maybe some do, but CBS Sunday evening movie coming up is Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.....great shots of Indy boots when he crosses the "leap of faith" bridge.....

Dog those Aberdeen Natty PTB's are nice I like the shape. Unique..

I kind of like them as well, I am not a huge shoe guy as most here know. Mostly boots, but I really like these shoes. Have some GS PTB's and they seem a bit more "clunky" than the Natty Aldens. The closest to these, in looks and just nice proportions, are some older AE that I have. Pre 2010 AE at that. The Natty PTB Aldens could prompt me to get more on the Aberdeen last, but I AM OUT OF ROOM for many more new shoes/boots.

LOL, I think they keyword there is "many". As in, you will allow yourself to buy more.

Oh, I know I will I currently have 3 preorders out there with Alden and one GS....something will have to go to either, basement storage or sell.

FYI, for those of you who missed the 8D Barrie TSM exotic FDs, I'm offering them to folks here if they are willing to cover my costs (otherwise I will return to TSM). Please see the post on the B/S/T thread - https://www.styleforum.net/threads/...ade-b-s-t-thread.645611/page-83#post-10219875
