Today’s Natty BB Tassel loafers w/ 501’s, collared starched shirt, wide wale navy blazer RL. For a casual date lunch with my wife out on lovely Saguaro Lake. I am personally very comfortable in these shoes with jeans.

thanks @NYCTechNerd and @audog ... will have to consider it more. I have a pair of color 8 beef rolls already so was thinking in a light color spectrum. Maybe a suede LHS is the way to go.

Great choice. Or roll all those ideas into one:

How did we (or at least I) miss March The Second: It’s 3/2, Or National Ivy Style Day yesterday? Though, I do not think @Roycru did because he posted in the AE thread this AE ad is in the same article linked above:

And some vintage Alden ads not referenced in the article:

Newbie poster here, so I don't have a "one that got away" story yet for Alden's....but did just get my hands on these Tobacco Reverse Chamois Indy's from Alden SF. Beauties..

Even though it's Wingtip Wednesday, had a chance to finally take these Alden Madison Color 8 Shell Jumper Boots out for their maiden voyage! I usually swap out the flat laces for round boot laces, but figured these needed to enjoy the late afternoon sun. First boot on commando sole and I'm a fan!

I personally think tassel loafers and jeans is a stellar combination. Love this shot from an older Drake’s look book with the 563s.

Wednesday evening, boots, some wine, listening to Jack Pearson (one of the best rock guitar players who never got any recognition )....good times

Hmmm. Not bad! Will have to check that out. I have to be honest, did not realize that oak street did suede tassels. Thank you, sir.

Thanks @chipshot , this is pretty much the exact style shoe that I was originally contemplating. Appreciate your posting the pic.

How many jars of Collonil 1909 is that now?

Only on the second forget the Collonil,Google Jack Pearson guitarist.

RE: the one that got away— Missed out on a pair of whiskey Indy’s from Kathy back in 2012, TSM cigar lwb’s I returned ‘cause I thought them to be “redundant” with my 975’s and a pair of Barrie lasted cigar Indy’s from AoSF.

All of my favorite things. Color 8, brass and 379x.

Personally, I think the 379x looks better for boots than the barrie.

Different look, but both comfortable.
