Lots of navy shell goodness on here these days. Thought I would wear what the cool kids are wearing.

I'm thinking so as well, thanks.

Fall is my favorite.
Moleskin pants and AE X Wolverine unlined shell jumpers. The stamps inside the unlined boots are very cool.

Looking great as always. How do you size these? There's a 9D on ebay I'm thinking about. I go 9D brannock and 8.5D 8.5D Barrie.

I would get them.
These Wolverine 1000 Milers are TTS for me: 9.5D. They fit like a glove.
I wear 9.5D in Brannock, AE 65, 201, and 511 lasts, and Alden Grant and Plaza lasts.
Like you, I size down a half size, to 9D on Alden Barrie and Trubalance lasts. Also on Grant Stone’s Leo lasts (one of my favorites!).
Post pics when you get them!

Same here, I went TTS in my 1000 Milers.

I went with Brannock size and they fit great, have to go down 1/2 in Barrie/TB and GS Leo, but the 1000mile fit great TTS.

I wear them in my usual 10.5D they fit like a 511 in length with a much wider toe box. I wear 10.5D in the 65, 511, and 42 lasts, forever wear a 10D in the 1757

When I got mine I thought you had to size like Alden's Barrie last, but my SA recommended TTS. I'm so glad I listened... Lol!

Beautiful. GMTO? The folks at C&J (and Alden) really know how to make a wingtip boot
