I'm down to just one pair of Cigar Aldens. At my highest point, I had PTB, LWB, NST, Indy and these.
Also considering parting with whiskey & Ravello PTB (gasp!)

In all seriousness though, I haven't noticed this thread evolving into something overtly contentious. I avoid the AE thread for that exact reason. However, I could certainly be oblivious to it here. Back to our favorite shoes... 2145s today (Color 8 Cap toe medallions)
You wear those well rtp. Great looking shoes. I'd hate to think the uncle Mac days on sf are behind us. I appreciate his style, and fully blame him for my shell addiction. His pictures got me into this mess.

Wow! From where? Not sure I've see this model, only a medallion bal in calfskin from TSM.
This is a standard Alden make-up that you can find at any of the Alden stores (DC, SF, and Madison). Mine are actually Alden for BB, but they are identical (same last - aberdeen).
Thanks...

The color is very interesting. I don't have anything in that shade. Very nice.
I actually had in hand a whiskey PTB in this exact shade about two years ago. I returned it because I was hoping for a darker shade. I now regret not hanging onto them!

Looking good DonL! I was actually going to wear mine today also, but thought I hadn't given appropriate love to my medallion ctb in recent weeks. Enjoy often and in great health my friend...

Much thanks DV. I hope to hear from Uncle Mac again also...

Thoughts on a Barrie lasted black shell Indy with antique edging and no speed hooks?
Sacafotos - I was thinkning the same thing. I'd take Barrie or TB. I think the leffot walter pre-order may have triggered the thought in my head. I'd like it on Commando with antique...maybe even natural

Guess no one has seen this makeup done. If i couldnt find a cigar with antique, i am warming up to black

I was thinking like this:

Pretty sure the cobbler himself did that antique edging. Insane work, though I disagree with the choice of raw cord to compliment the shell. I will ask him to replace speed hooks if possible.

You can also try doing the antiquing yourself per the DIY post (see previous pages). Poster did a stellar job.

I may pick up black shell Indy on Barrie and NST color 8 on Barrie and do the antiquing myself. Striking detail.
