    Yep, got all 3 of my bags I ordered. The Park Ave bag was flawless, although I definitely agree on the shoulder strap - way too long and I didn't like the width of the strap. Not sure what they were thinking there. I'll just carry that one. The Strand Walnut messenger bag is great as well...

    I received my tan saddle Gobis today and they have some of the worst tiger striping I have ever seen. I am extremely tolerant of seconds and have never returned a pair after about a dozen purchases but these have to go back. I'd even consider keeping if both had the pattern but just one does -...

    I'm really not sure as bag sales don't seem to be advertised and stock isn't posted online. I remember a while back some posters reporting getting Neumok bags for some crazy low price (like $39 or something). Those were gone when I called. It seems like they are more of a one-off thing; if...

    Nope, called Wisconsin and just asked if they had any bags in stock.

    I posted it a couple pages back, but I got a Walnut Strand Slim and a Walnut Strand Messenger for $147 each and a black Park Ave Slim for $69.

    Bags are not on the website - need to call an outlet location and talk to someone - or go to the actual outlet store and see what they have in stock. I got the sense the stock was pretty thin but who knows. As for Daltons, I have the Bourbon and really like them. I would get those or one of...

    That's the approach I took. Although I also bought Gobis as well despite not really needing any more shoes so I probably wouldn't look to me for any ideas in budget discipline...

    I discovered some excellent tent sale prices on briefcases and went slightly nuts. Walnut Strand Slim - $147 Walnut Strand Messenger Bag - $147 Black Park Avenue Slim - $69 (!) Why do I need 3 bags? Still not sure, but that hasn't stopped me before.

    Just to clarify - is the new product loaded onto the site yet or is the sale intended to clear room from existing inventory for the new items when they arrive? I am a huge fan of the Benjamin Sartorial suits, looking to get more, but didn't see anything new (or at all) in 40R.

    Any news on upcoming shell seconds sales (i.e., 299 or 325)? I was pumped to finally see some shells in my size on shoe bank that I actually like, but I'm not about to pay $500 because I'm cheap. Or maybe I shouldn't, it would be my first pair of shells...

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...

    Is it worth asking an SA for a list of available cordovan shoes in a given size, or is the shoebank website pretty up to date on these? I know the website doesn't always list everything (e.g., RL and BB). I'm potentially looking to buy my first pair of cordovan, so maybe it's better if no one...

    I received my medium gray Benjamin suit and just wanted to drop a line to say the suit is excellent. I don't consider myself to be a suit expert but the quality appears to be top notch and for a reasonable price. Though my job is primarily business casual I'll be back for more in the future.

    The Allen Edmonds MTO Thread

    Are you a 10B by any chance? There's been a Truffle McAllister on my 10B seconds list ($399) for I don't even know how long. Someone please buy these so I don't have to.

    The Allen Edmonds MTO Thread

    Maybe slightly off-topic, but with the CXL MTOs it had me wondering - how do you guys care for CXL? Just the standard cleaner/conditioner then premium polish, or do you have to use something like leather lotion or whatever instead?

    If this seconds website is going to work, they are probably going to need to buy a dedicated SF server to keep up with traffic.
