I don’t think AE is on the same path. It’s too valuable a brand at this point. Not saying Caleres won’t screw them up, but if they do it’ll be more along the lines of Prada and Church’s (e.g. weird over-priced stuff). That said, Caleres has actually done some very positive things (bringing bench-welt uppers production back to the US, investing in plant upgrades, etc.).
Wow, hand lasted. Dude, I just don’t get how you keep finding gems like this.
Wow, that sounds... just... horrible.
Those are very nice.

boarded leather – leather that has been softened and the surface of which has been lightly creased by folding grain to grain and then working the fold across the leather to and fro by hand boarding or by means of a boarding machine.
Not sure where you live but it's not Santa Cruz. I went out yesterday looking for some test shoes for a dye project and managed to find the only pair of brown top grain leather in the entire city.
It was recommended I cross post this here from the thrift shop thread. Found these in a (church) thrift shop, ha!.
I tried googling for information but I can't say for certain what the actual lineage of these shoes is, they are not marked Made in England. In any case, they are a very well made, obviously hand crafted pair of shoes that looks like they have never even been worn. There are some spots of what I assume is either water damage or even slight mold from improper storage, see pics. Any tips you have either for care, or for info on them is highly appreciated!
Also, sorry, my cat would not let me take pics without her in it.
