The Shell Cordovan, non-Alden Shoe and Boot Thread

[flylikeneagle]

Brother, do you mind sharing the details/reference number of the first boot? Thank you.

Sure, here you go. This model (80459) wasn't listed on the customization page when I placed my order so I noted model number in special requests box. I believe 80459 is now a standard model on the customization page. If I were to order another cordovan jumper boot, I'd probaby go with 80184. 80459 looks great with the 5 eyelets/4 hooks combination, but I never use the top hook when I tie my laces as doing so makes the boot shaft very inflexible. I don't own any 80184 jumper boots, but my impressions is the design of the shaft (specifically the **** between eyelet #5 and speedhook #1) allows for greater flexibility

Color 8 oxford (eg on Carmina 762 Forest) with nice-ish blue/khaki shorts/bermudas, no show socks, and a short sleeve shirt.
Wild idea? Nice contrast? Douche?
