Thanks PhiPsi32.

I actually put forest green laces on those boots. I'll take some more photos when I get a chance.

nephew,
all rules are made to be broken, the dress code in my first professional firm was hat, three piece suit, white shirt, black shoes

Funny this is how I look when I go to work... more often brown shoes though. Also, thanks for the inflation education uncle.

The Alden Thread.
Come for the shoes; stay for the enabling.

Awww, how did I miss all the addiction/enabling/self-help conversations?

I've got some Ravello sitting around that I'd like to get rid of, but I'm having second thoughts about returning the recent J. Crew version. The brass eyelets with the antique sole really creates an entirely different shoe than the dark sole. Although, how many pairs of brown longwings does a guy need (I think I already have 7)?

I agree that the dark soled ravello is almost an entirely different look from this unique shoe. I rarely wear my wingtips with denim, but I could see wearing the J Crew ravello with denim basically all year.

was doing some organizing tonight so I snapped some boot pics. excuse the poor lighting







still on the hunt for ravello chukkas and possibly a pebble grain captoe/ptb.

hoping the kudu modified order goes thru, along with DC Thor boot, and then I think i'm done with boots (not a fan of suede)

Great collection of beautiful boots!

They are the ones to the top right^^^ You can kind of see how they compare to the ravello LWB (2nd from the the top left)

Both of the above are J Crew calf LWB (tobacco to the right)

^^^In the wild, but poor quality pic, sorry

As REguy put it, great beater shoes for a good price on ebay... cost the same as AE but much better than the calf McNeil (imho).

I love those. I would have a hard time calling them "beater" shoes!

J Crew put up several models for preorder (mostly suede on crepe)

Where did you get the cool heel and welt treatment on #8 blucher to the left of the LWB?

Sorry for another sizing question,

I am wearing Grant last captoe boots in 7D / Indy in 6D and I am planning to get barrie last LWB what size should I get?
I am living in Canada so I can't go in to store and try them on.
Thanks in advance

I first noticed them about a year ago. Not sure how long they were out before that.
