    @coolarrow wins the first 8.5d/8e barrie giveaway because reasons (i.e., picking his name out of an Engineered Garments hat). Good sir, let's discuss shipping and logistics via pm. Hope you like all eyelets and tobacco chamois.

    Thanks, Don! You kill it every day and never repeat combos. Makes it hard to feel like I can contribute to this fine thread or the Ep thread. I've been laying low and playing it safe by simply buying Engineered Garments and plagiarizing everyone's ideas on the EG thread or wearing japanese raw...

    The Official Alden Thread for 2016 - Share reviews, sizing, advice, and photos.

    Thanks for the kind words. I would say that the all-eyelet setup is a major factor in why these nearly two-year-old boots have such little wear (the minor issue is that I tend to prefer my barrie- and plaza-lasted pairs for my primarily business casual day-to-day outfits). I've actually thought...

    Things have been busy, so I rarely post or get to appreciate all the lovely Alden Appreciation. Glad to see the heavy hitters and veterans still at it (good to see Mdubs and DV and Repp and Sazon still here). Fun seeing the young guns like Jettasy owning it. Overall, I'm glad to see the welcoming and...

    Viberg Boots - Reviews, appreciation, news - share yours

    When I bought horsehide boots from .com a few months back, I checked with Viberg staff about changing the soles out. I was told they would entertain replacing a dainite sole with a double leather or even a vibram christy sole. Not sure if they'd hold to this policy now that business is taking...

    The Possibly Official Engineered Garments Trading Thread

    I also wear a size 31 in jeans (e.g., The Flat Head, Pure Blue Japan, and the Strike Gold), as well as in chinos and trousers. I took a size small in the BDU pants this season. And I am swimming in them (i.e., drawstring in full effect working in concert with belt). Perhaps others can chime in...

     I'm the same size in tennis trainers, regardless of whether they're unfinished hh or other leather (team Loden here) Fwiw, I also take the same size in gats (and will soon confirm whether hh gats are a parallel fit once the hh's bry2000 sold me arrive later today!!)

    I have a jean...(The Ultimate Jean Thread For Beginners) - ask questions here.

    I like to place them on a drying rack in a tub after soaking. Alternatively, I've used these cool jeans hooks from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/NAHANCO-SHKLGRS-Steel-Jeans-Hook/dp/B00MK00D5U

    Those look even better in your closeup. Thanks so much for pointing out the Converse option. Will definitely call them for help, since the website only has basic red, blue and black available.

    Very nice collection, IIIrd. My 1035 collection is growing, having acquired horsehide derbies, beige calf derbies, horsehide service boots and the waxed flesh service boots this past year. I wholeheartedly concur about the last being comfy and straddling the workboot vs dress fence well enough...

    I have a jean...(The Ultimate Jean Thread For Beginners) - ask questions here.

    I know you speak Epaulet fluently. Let's just say that PBJ's slim tapered fits are consistent the way you'd expect from a Rivet chino; once you figure out sizing, it's just about dialing in the texture and the color of the weft that best suits your style. If you're looking for more of a walt...

    I have a jean...(The Ultimate Jean Thread For Beginners) - ask questions here.

    I know the stretch factor was a thing, but since you said you're inclined to grab something different, why not consider Pure Blue Japan? Always interesting textures and fading potential. You can either go classic right hand twill and end up with interesting, slubby textures. See, e.g., the 18 oz...

    Indeed. Doesn't matter what the shirt is called. If it's an Ep EFF purchase, everyone wins

    Rocket popsicle is a different fabric; it's the one that is often used to illustrate the band collar when EFFs are advertised. (I have that exact shirt from last summer)

     So the sample sale was the issue. Thanks for clarifying.

    Has anyone experienced shipping delays from Viberg.com this week? I ordered service boots on Monday, and I can see a banner on the website saying that orders from this past week were to go out on 6/7. However, I haven't gotten a response from the Viberg folks via e-mail or phone. (This, in my...

    Do you have to choose from extant stock or do you get to request a makeup for the future?
