I can't believe I've never heard of them. Looks like an interesting store. I'm going to have to pay them a visit sometimes soon. 

I've ordered Spahir products from On the Fly which has a store in the Embarcadero Center in SF. Here is their website:

Thanks, didn't realize they had Saphir.

I'd get seconds, usually defect is not that bad and will 99% of the time be better than well used shoes

How does one buy alden seconds from shoemart? Do they have a mailing list, or are they just advertised on the site with the other shoes?

There's a mailing list. Call or email them and let them know what sizes you want to be notified of. Actually I think there's a form on their website you can fill out with the sizes you are looking for.

Brought me to the yard - haha.

Anyway, I finally snapped some pics of the Alden x LS Ravello Shortwings. Tom said there were only 18 pairs in this run and I had the only 8.5 (snagged it at the SF Anniv. event!).

Took some really crappy photos, but expect to see more of these bad boys when I work up the courage to break them in. Do you guys think I should get the heels tapped + sole topy'd (it's currently a double leather sole).





Finally - super sad day but I think I'll be moving forward with selling my Ultimate Jumpers to make room for some new additions...

oh nice. you were the one that bought them? awesome.

full disclosure, i fondled the left shoe...

 

[david3558]

Hah, yeah - it's ok, passing on those good vibes to me. You left my damn left shoe super grimy though, just saying. Did you pick anything up?

 

[NAMOR]

Lol. Those aren't greasy finger marks, those are just the natural oils coming up from the shell.

Your pair of shells are immaculate. I think LS brought the nicest pair to the event: even stitching, excellent color, great matching of shell hides, etc.

I picked up a couple of items; from yuketan: #8 shell belt and Ravello card holder. From epaulet: carmina double monks.

Can anyone id these please?
