Got 'em up to just over 20% of my collection, so still some improvements to be made.You’ve got an Alden. Superior pickup. And in good condition too
UNIFORM LA CHILLICOTHE WORK JACKET Drop, going on right now.
Uniform LA's Chillicothe Work Jacket is an elevated take on the classic Detroit Work Jacket. Made of ultra-premium 14-ounce Japanese canvas, it has been meticulously washed and hand distressed to replicate vintage workwear that’s been worn for years, and available in three colors.
This just dropped today. If you missed out on the preorder, there are some sizes left, but they won't be around for long. Check out the remaining stock here
Good luck!.

Those are Alden, made for Brooks Bros.Hmmm. The markings don't show the heel combo, but you could be right. Sweet, this will be a profitable flip.
Not surprised. Northern Virginia is rich area.I was visiting Northern Virginia this past week and stopped by a few of the bigger thrift stores in the area. I think I found the shell Ralph Lauren at one called Unique. The larger thrift stores (2A thrift, B-thrifty, Unique, etc) had multiple racks of men's shoes and there were a few nice finds (Rancourt, Alden, etc.). I was actually a bit surprised since I expected the locals to pick them clean. There probably is a lot of rotation.
Amazing. Love those. The straps weren’t overly dry?I love watering my garden in the rain. Love a self driving Ferrari. Love my online Karate classes. Most of all, I love rooting for hockey from a sandy sunny beach. Lightnings are down but not out. Go Bolts!!!
Presenting 50s Nettleton boots. Vintage color restoration always need more finesse which is why I rely on Alberto Suastez all the time. I’m now ready to walk on even Avalanches 🍻 View attachment 1806267 View attachment 1806268 View attachment 1806269 View attachment 1806270
They were a little dry, but should be ok now after a couple rounds of PurePolish 💪Amazing. Love those. The straps weren’t overly dry?
Show us those cracks. Maybe all is not that bad and it could be repaired.Sadly, the shell pair has cracks in the heel area. I will honour its journey by moving them on to the next phase. Watch straps a la @smfdoc.
However, if someone really wants them for a project, they're yours if you pay shipping. Let me know if anyone wants more pics.
That last pair is probably not John McHale.To celebrate the 3000th page of the greatest Internet thread, I took the day off from work. Lunch alone. And then some thrifting! I hit 4 thrift stores and found 3 pairs. Even a pair that fit me amazingly well.
1 = Dacks that fit me. These will get rebuilt and are perfect for work. Maybe fully rebuild with GYW, JR soles, etc;
2 = Johnston Murphy Optima;
3 = unknown maker. Possibly John McHale.

You can’t really repair vintage shoe cracks.Show us those cracks. Maybe all is not that bad and it could be repaired.
I’ve gotta check, but I think Alden always has the heel size added in. IE: a/c or b/d. It’s been a decade since I’ve thought about it, so I may be wrong.

If Alden makes a shoe for Brooks Brothers, they only show one width letter.I’ve gotta check, but I think Alden always has the heel size added in. IE: a/c or b/d. It’s been a decade since I’ve thought about it, so I may be wrong.
