If it is cigar you seek, Vass has your card...

They are about the same price as Alden and you can specify every nuance of detail.

From last to sole to model and style...Let your sartorial heart run wild...

I'm going to Budapest in a few weeks. We'll see...

Does DC do cigar with just black edges or antique? Both? I should get on a list for those and whiskey with whoever does one.

Here is the DC cigar LWB. CALLED ON A WHIM ABOUT 3 weeks ago and they had a pair in my size 10.5D.

One of the super super super cool details with vass mto is they agreed to make a pair where one boot was wider than the other. Because One of my feet is a touch wider than it's counterpart I truly couldn't call any one last the best fitting. But Now I can and they don't look half bad either

These are two absolutely fantastic examples of exotic LWBs.

My favorite rain boots. It was coming down hard when I made my footwear selection and caused me to change away from my original plan to take my Cigar CT Boots on their maiden voyage... Of course it stopped raining almost essentially right after I put them on.

Alden doesn't use dainite on any of their models, do they?

Not to my knowledge.

I've seen them use leather, flex/waterloc, commando, neocork, plantation crepe, and micro, but never Dainite.

And I have always wondered why they have not....because the whole Alden aesthetic really vibes with Dainite well...

Out the door it was $270, which was way more than I expected when I shipped the boots to them. But they up charged for a mid-sole and I insisted on it.

Agreed. A pair of unlined Dovers on dainite would be perfect.
