No need at all to take off your Aldens if you have TSA Pre. Just keep them on, point at the other scanner (not the metal detector) and go through when told. I fly weekly and haven't taken off my Aldens in at least a year...maybe two.

An option at SJC but not all airports. LAX terminal 1 this morning did not have it.

Fantastic, good sir.

Very nice!  Deets on the harris tweed fabric pls

Thanks for the kind words gentlemen.
Epaulet offered these Harris tweed walts 3 years ago. I forget what Mike called them, but they're really a nice oatmeal - olive blend.

I no longer wear Aldens when I fly.

#8 LHS.

These ones fit me great. Oddly I also recently picked up snuff suede LHS in the same size and last and those are WAY too tight across the instep. Neither shoe has been worn a whole lot so it's hard for me to believe the vamp will loosen that much, but maybe?[

Great boots made even better by the excellent choice of slacks. Well done guys.

something in cigar or snuff would be my choice. Brooks Bros offers a snuff boot on discount from time to time. Cigar would have to come from one of the alden shops, most likely with a bit of a wait.

Suede Wingtip Boot

Agreed or a shell tanker.

Love the idea of the suede wing tip. Aren't the shell tankers just like my Dr. Jones with the one inch of extra stitching? Seems redundant to me.

Odd...I fly out of LAX T1 frequently and always have the option to use the other scanner in the TSA Pre lane.

Thank you sir

The cigar version today:

the wingtip pattern on plaza last, and leather sole/flat welt is gorgeous! Wish more makeups like this were readily available or available for pre-order. Is that a LS makeup?

 

[Subutai]

Wish office lighting could do these justice.

Nice lacing too!

The Dr. Jones and tankers are similar, the Tanker being far more casual.
I have both boots and the Dr. jones aren't seeing much foot time lately.
I will keep them both as they are awesome!

You may want to fill in some other gaps first before obtaining similar models.
The tankers are easier to come by when your ready, well at least a dark edge
option.

Suede may be a good option. I've been eyeing the Frans Boone suede boots
on the grant last.

Thank you sir

Beautiful! I made an audible gasp when this photo came up on my screen.
Interesting pants as well.

 

[gilby]

Anyone have some pics in the wild of the Frans Boone suede Parajumper
on the grant last? I've been eyeing these for some time but have never seen
a photo of them on feet.

Lovely shade!

yeah agree that mid-brown is super nice
