Quick cleaning/polish question for Alden Indy 403
Those are them.. You'll like em'
Don't be too worried about the stitching. I've gotten sloppy before with the polish and in a drunken state one time I used a baby wipe(for those without kids look in the diaper aisle) and cleaned the stitches to a nice glowing white. Since then I have polished with reckless abandon. I use kiwi cordovan wax to darken the leather.
Your J.Crew longwings are so nice that I sometimes almost regret my Winn Perry purchase. If only I lived in the States, they would be mine already. It is very easy to deal with small businesses for special customs instructions, which is impossible to request from a state-wide store such as J.Crew or Brooks Brothers.
To the best of my knowledge, only theshoemart and shermanbrothers sell shortwing bluchers, but in Aberdeen last, which is a regular stock model: http://www.theshoemart.com/alden-men..._calfskin.html http://www.theshoemart.com/alden-men..._calfskin.html I will appreciate if someone knows any other shortwing blucher model, regardless of last.
Do you know how reliable The Shoe Mart is to buy from? I've been looking at their Alden 404, which the site seems to say is fully stocked. However, I've read a bunch of reviews of the site that say that often they will claim to have sizes in stock, only to charge you, then send you an e-mail about how it's actually backordered and then you wait around for weeks on end.
These look sweet
