The Shell Cordovan, non-Alden Shoe and Boot Thread

[007Bond]

The guy in the video is Steve at Bedos leatherworks. You can google the shop. He does stellar work and I have had him do three projects now. He may be a few dollars more, but I have found that you frequently get what you pay for. I have heard that B Nelson also does very good work, but I do not have a personal experience with him. As for Steve, you can see him in the back row, third from the left holding the largest award from the Shoe Service Industry of America. It was for shoe rehabilitation. Hard to go wrong with such a craftsman.

Steve says he can most likely repair it no issue, about $90 I have to send the shoes to him so he can see them to evaluate. So he seems to be the best option and cost seems ok to me.

I hope everything goes as you expect with the repair.
Please post pics once you get the shoes back.

For those of you who have lusted for the EG Galway in shell. But not keen to pay the $2K price tag. This is your opportunity. Basically the shell is being added for free.

@morsepoint is offering the opportunity to pick up a pair of EG shell at around $1600 US. I for one am encouraging this makeup

Only two more are needed (3 total is all he requires), 70% down now, bal due in 12-14 weeks or so.
Here’s my proposed makeup:
Whiskey upper
matching color Utah shaft
82 Last
Purple Lining
HAF Sole
with or without Metal Toe Taps.
with or without pull tabs

Heading out with Green Shell Carmina Balmoral Boots today. I see now in the sun they need a brush from sitting in the closet for the summer.
But that won't stop me from enjoying the day with them.
