Looks nice. If you have more pics (at different angles?) it would be great to see them.

-Does anyone have any comments or experience with Alden Cape Cod Collection? I want to order the beefroll mocs but I'm curious to know if the quality is on par with the rest of the line.

It's not.
They're OK, but not made with welt construction so the support and comfort isn't on par.
I'd save up for the LHS in Cordovan. Yes, they're a lot more expensive but it would be the last loafer you ever have to buy.

Saw the blog post about these earlier, if I hadn't bought three pairs of Alden in the last two months, I would have ordered these immediately. I am in serious need of some natural chromexcel in my life.

Shoe mart is selling the very rare Ravello shell belt in the desirable 35mm width. They are expensive but super hard to find.

I just got one!

Here's my Ravello NSTs. The color is actually darker and redder than I had expected (and what appears in photos)
