Mens GaGa was actually a teenager who broke into the home of a wealthy Japanese Alden collector when he was on vacation.

Wow. I hope he was caught and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. And, did the rightful owner get all his Aldens back?

My CXL Pitt boots has a rough finish on the toe, as if I took sandpaper and sanded the shiny finish off. I can't seem to get the texture of the leather to match the shiny, oily looking finish on the rest of the shoe. I've tried using shoe polish and Montana pitch blend but it still looks the same. Any idea and how to fix this?

This happened to my natural CXL boots - I couldn't get the shine back. I gave them to someone who didn't care - it really bothered me though. I think you have two options - send them back to Alden or give Horween a call - I wish I had did that - they may know a trick or two.

Question- for general buffing of shell, is a flannel cloth better or a microfiber cloth better (in addition to horsehair brush)?

I wear a 10.5 D Barrie and just bought these Kudu PTBs for Yenni at J. Gilbert in an 11D. I sized up for the elongated toes...

Too late.
Tricker's by Engineered Garments on Shady Nick Wooster.

...that guy has style but c'mon! This is getting stupid.

Whats next...half a moustache?!? Sunglasses: Half wayfarer half aviator?!?!?!?!?

 

[Towncar]

Must agree. Wooster has style and puts together some real interesting combinations, but I often wonder, "what the **** is Nick wearing?"
