FWIW The only BB store I've been in that knew anything of Alden lasts and/or shell cordovan was at the BB on the mean streets of Greenwich, CT.

Hey guys, just received these boots. Any info on them? I am pleasantly surprised by the color of them, kinda look more like cigar than #8. I really do like them. Gotta spend some time with my bone and brush. I was told they were the Epaulet Brixton boot in #8.

There is some discussion of this boot starting here.

Very nicely done! And great pant/sock pairing.

 

[MrDV]

Nice job sir! I am about to put mine on as well!

Fantastic! Like a second skin on you.

Whiskey SWB Bals always look like they're worth 3 times their actual price.

To find a pair in my size puts them i'n my grail territory currently.

nephew,
good looking combo

thank you guys for the kind words. I don't wear these as much as I should.
blue, what size are you?

Does sand suede go better with dark denim and dark chinos than snuff? Or about the same?

I may get one boot and one Dover in each color suede.

I've done it before but not very frequently...

I think it works, thoughts??

I like it. its wild, but I think that's what makes it work. I don't have tassels yet.

Snuff pairs better w/ darker trousers IMO. Sand suede pairs better with lighter colors.

Sand suede = Tan suede

New makeup @ J. Crew. These were an insta-kop for me.

 

[blue collar]



blue, what size are you?

I'm in 11.5 E/12E on the tremont

E width on exotic shell/lasts is a hard score these days.

Delicious! Where are these beauties from?!

Thanks Hoit! Yep, Alden DC as Dubs stated.
