Dubious. Unless I handled them I would not be convinced they are shell cordovan.

Not my auction, but these seem some old, rare Alden makeup.

clearly not shell.....ravello is a generous description of the color

Mike, I called TSM and they have none left, regardless what the site says.

Wow what a year! Nice pickups! Jealous of the hallecks and ravello ptboots! Those ptboots are really starting to grow on me after seeing all the recent pics.
And I think passing on the madison whiskey wingtip boots will be one of my biggest alden shoe regrets.
