Well, after looking at all of @mdubs blue suede, I had to.....I mean I couldn't help it. These just in and as long as shipping was the same cost threw the closeout boots in for good measure. The boots are a stretch for me as far as styling, but I kind of like them. View attachment 1435532 View attachment 1435533

Congratulations Dog! Very awesome looking and love them Navy Suede Tassels!

I absolutely love that you went ahead and included a picture of a flower, absent of any shoes in the shot. Bravo.

The shoes are there. Just look beyond the flowers

Omg, you're right! Brilliant.

LoL. Mission accomplished! Really was trying to highlight the flowers while keeping it SF relevant! Glad that you didn’t notice the shoes and glad that you did!!!

Good pickup on the boots. Those are one of my first pair of Aldens. They don't get a ton of wear, but they look great and the Hampton last makes them fit well with slacks and a sport coat where Barrie boots might be a bit much.

This exact pair crossed my mind this week. I think I’d get a ton of use out of them. Looking good

Wait a second - you are willing to wear blue suede tasseled loafers, but think wingtips are a bridge too far?!

yep

Posting this to gauge interest, working on a collaboration with Alden shop.
Here are the specs on the proposed boot:
Brown Alpine grain Cap toe boot
Aberdeen last
270 welt
Single waterlock
Antique edge
Starburst heel
Brass eyes and hooks
Don't have pricing as of yet, but need at least 6 to make a go. Anyone in?

Thank you. I highly recommend them. They go with almost anything.

But suede tassel loafers are.....well plain in appearance, even if blue, whereas wingtips are "busy" (to my eye) I love the wings posted by people here, just can't seem to like them on me

Very cool. If I didn't have three other pairs of Adelaides, I'd be all over these.

Thank you very much. This fits my dressy bill nicely and I can't wait to see them in the closet and on foot.

Very nice looking shoe.

Thank you! Ealdwine does some really unique shoes and I love their energy.

Congrats Savvy! Beautiful make up, I'd be all over it for an office shoe if I could make Hampton last work for me (I can't--I'm flat as kansas)


Congrats! That is a Grail shoe for me, its been on my list since I started lurking here on the Alden thread. I hope LS or AOM runs them again. Right now not looking promising.

Fantastic looking make-up. Very tempted to jump in on one of the milkshake suede Boot make-ups that have been popping up.

Thank you very much! Hampton is one of my favorites and I have just barely enough instep to make it work on my right foot. It's a really special makeup and am honored to have it in a run. I hope I am pair #1

Impeccable! If I didn't already have seven pre-orders I'd be all over these. What a great makeup.

Madness! I hope the other pre-orders treat you well. It's really going to be a cool shoe.

Not blasphemous at all, even if untrue

Alden's black shell does look very good. That sheen just makes it pop.

Hahah, well I love my 8 tassels, but the black shell (and BB foxing) on this design is SO classy.

Black just mean business and the tassels just give it that flair; it's a fun combo. I'm probably the only young guy in America proudly rocking Alden tassels like I belong in the old boys club.

Nice makeup. Are you really sockless or wearing no see socks?

If sockless, I have found that the leather rubs my foot a bit funny without socks. How do you combat this?

With no show socks. Only sockless sometimes with loafer

Cigar today. Have a good one, gentlemen
