Finally took delivery of all my Aldens from J. Crew.  Settled on two pair:

Hoping the first pair starts to look a bit more broken in like the picture.  I was looking to do them with denim more than anything.  Second pair is amazing.  Pictures don't do them justice.  Can't believe I haven't seen more pics of them in this thread.

Post some pics.

Anybody having issues with the Leffot website?

Stopped opening for me in Europe approx. 1 month ago. I've only been able to access it via a US proxy/VPN.

Wow, that's pretty amazing...  I hope my shells look this good twenty years from now!

nephew,

they will

Excellent black cap toe bals and argyles Uncle. Great shine as usual.

nephew,
thank you

 

[mcarthur]



Seriously???? Twenty years? Very nicely done uncle. Thanks for the pic.

Edit - because of this pic, I grabbed my jcrew color 8 LWB's, brushed them, and they are ready for work tomorrow morning. These look delicious and mine aren't quite there yet, but this pic definitely motivated me to pull mine out.

nephew,
to be transparent, I have wardrobe which provides a longer rest period between wearing.
I have a friend who wear his king full strap several days each week and they still look good after 20+ years

Nice PTBs.

(EDIT) Sometimes, I want to abandon my desire for diversity and just get the PTB shell rainbow.
