Really starting to feel like Spring here today and decided it was a great day to break out the Ravello LHS.

Vocans! Sunday is ALWAYS a good day for a LHS! Looking great in your new Ravello's, those are superb! Glad that it is finally warm enough for you to wear shorts!

BB unlined 8 LHS for another warm day.

Chippy, loooking good in your Color #8 Unlined LHSes! Looks like you got a bit of a scufff on your right leg, have you teid a deer bone on it yet?

I took the BB unlined #8 shell loafers out today, too. It’s still in the thirties here in NYC, but the weather is on the upswing after a week of blustery weather.

Barutanseijin, you are looking superb in those lovely looking Color #8 Unlined Loafers! Those are such a great and lovely model!

30s and sunny out in jersey so went on a quick hike with the fam. Like the simplicity of this these. Hope everyone had a good weekend.

AJ, you are looking good in those Chamois Perf Tip Boots. Nice to see some fading snow in the background there!

Joe, I do not know how you rolled those, but you did it exceptionally well! Those Cigars are just completely off the hook, dare I say smoking? The composition of the classic Cigar Indy against the Brass Hardware is just exquisite!!!

It's a boot Tuesday Monday. As @savvysartorial pointed out, I have lost track of the days. Either that, or future smfdoc posted for me today.

I have the opposite problem. Narrow lasts like Plaza and AE 1943, both of which fit me beautifully, make my long narrow feet look like x-country skis!

Hahahah, well that's one problem with narrow feet

Maiden voyage of Modified last Chromexcel longwings from Moulded Shoe today. These are really, really neat. The Modified last really does have a unique -- and excellent -- fit. This pair of shoes has all kinds of neat little features, too, like the gigantic Thomas heel used on Indy boots, a 270-degree welt, and metal eyelets. I can't wait to wear these into the ground, they are really comfortable and seem like they'll be quite durable!

Agreed 100%! Modified is such a cool last and fits like a GLOVE. I busted mine out today and then saw your post from last week. Great minds!

Did you size Modified same as Barrie/TB or different?

Same size. I feel Modified has a more positive fit than Barrie.

TB has a great heel lock, which Modified does as well. I don't get that same fit on Barrie.

Gentlemen, a truly superb showing here this week. A ton of amazing Alden makeups across the gamut. A number of beautiful Shells, calf’s, and suedes/chamois! Congratulations on the few new pickups this week and on a couple of superb maidens!

Most importantly a huge congratulations to Savvy on his wife’s pregnancy! Possibly a future Alden wearer is in the making!

-Mike

Thank you, Mike! Pretty big changes coming soon. Need to up my game if I'm going to shod myself and another person in Aldens

I see retirement has been good for you! You've lost track of the day; congrats, you're successfully retired!


Sometimes I can't figure out what day of the week it is and I'm a working stiff
