Fresh out the box and you are wearing them already... you need at least 2-4 weeks in the closet before even thinking about wearing them haha.


You have built an amazing collection of boots in a really short time!

Buying and selling Aldens over the past couple of years has left my shoe closet a mess and I'm trying to organize. I like how some forum members have a description of the shoe on the outside of the box so I decided something similar. This reconciliation process has left me with one box where I can't identify the shoe, model 6747. Google search doesn't reveal anything for this. I do have a grey/brown suede Captoe from Nieman Marcus that is unaccounted for and the sizing is right, but the numbering on the inside of the shoe is 9878Y.

Anyone familiar with Alden model 6747?

Unrelated (sort of) - I googled the number on the inside of my Brixtons (44663) and it brought up the Unionmade Halleck's. I remember a discussion a while back on how these boots were different. I don't see any differences and it looks like the numbering is the same.

Winter is here today in full force and I am totally regretting not grabbing the Tobacco Chamois Tanker and/or the Greenwich wingtip. Now they are both on my list for next year, fingers crossed.

Just gotten lucky so far that i've had some extra funds, hard to do with a new baby and house..eek. I've had to sacrifice some of the lesser finds to get some of these better ones but hey it's worth it.

I hear you, playing the newborn and new house game in the past year too. It's getting really hard to decide what make ups to grab and which to pass on, so many awesome pairs in this thread.

Headed to Kauai in a couple weeks. I'll probably take the shirt but leave the shoes home.
Didn't route through Honolulu this time so no LS visit this trip.
