Pretty sure the whole run was spoken for. But I could be wrong.

Anyone here pick up the 11.5D?

I figured. I moved up several spots but far enough.

Did anyone get to Brick+Mortar today? It supposed opened its doors for the first time...

I am going there soon!

I went there on Monday. The shop looks great, especially the amazing massive single-piece wood display table. Yenni has some styles from J. Gilbert and AoC, as well as a bunch of pre-orders on the way (I think the list was referenced earlier in the thread; it's also on AoC website). Couldn't resist-- I put in an order for the brown cxl NST boot.

I am not a penny loafer guy, but I really liked the look of the navy hand sewn mocc (up near the flowers in this pic)

Finally, who doesn't love a wall of Alden boxes?

Whiskey Wednesday. Alden did a great job on the straps on these, every angle shows them as a different shade. When I look straight down at them they look almost the same shade as the rest of the shoe.

Thanks for all the compliments guys, I'm excited to start breaking these puppies in!

Swerwo, what are you shooting with? I love the creamy bokeh. Are you post-processing?

I shot that with a Canon 85 1.2 Roguls. I'm a professional photographer and retoucher so thankfully I can buy glass that matches the quality of my boots

Thanks makes sense szerwo. Your pics are fantastic. I need to try to avoid posting pics next to yours!

Cigar Indy's came in last night, not withstanding another weird mishap with USPS. Couldn't be happier with them. Interesting that I normally wear a 9D in Trubalance, but these are 9.5D and they fit nice and snug with a medium weight sock. These are going to get a lot of wear...

These are a terrific LHS variant ... I've seen them before but forget the source.
