    The Allen Edmonds MTO Thread

    So they will hesitate to make the unlined shell, because it has a tendency to tear. I had to get mine made 2x in order to get a clean pair.

    Picked these CS *ways up from @Burzan as they didn't fit him well. So, my initial reaction: The grain leather is middle of the road quality. It is not cheap, but it is definitely not on the same lines as EG, and I wouldnt expect that. It seems a small tick below that of Carmina. The suede...

    Gents, Take a minute and read/watch this. I am not going to argue the value one way or another, but I will say that it is a nice (albeit short) story...

    yes you are correct about the dye and the brass eyelets, as well as snuff/C8 saddles. that is no longer allowed for the same reason.

    So I was doing this with the intention of removing the acrylic coating on the shell, and allowing the patina from regular wear to shine through. There will be some lightening of the color due to the removal of the acrylic, but this process will definitely remove some of the inherent protection...

    Snuff is probably the most versatile, given you wearing denim a lot.

    www.dsw.com ... basically all made in 3rd world, glued crap.

    It probably goes without saying that I see nothing but DSW glued crap here in the Poconos, unless it is someone from SF. That goes for Alden and a dozen other makers. Rarely I might see an AE in the wild, but that's even a stretch.

    Trying them on wont take away from the BNIB. just don't crease them all up. Seems kind of odd to not even put your foot in them.

    So there are designs that get proposed by shops and Alden outright rejects them. (for many reasons) That wholecut seems a whole lot less aesthetically pleasing than some of the designs that Alden rejects. Funny if you ask me. However, it is Need Supply's fault. They wont likely sell them...

    You may have a ready made solution from Unionmade Goods... Its not my cup of tea, but these blacked out grain Indys are pretty slick. http://unionmadegoods.com/product/alden-indy-boot-in-black-regina-grain-d6933c/

    If anyone is hesitating on this Leder jacket, you are making a HUGE mistake...

    That's a stretch. It is also not waxed, it is oiled in this case. Mine breathe fine, and in fact are not completely waterproof. There is such a thing as waxed flesh, but Alden to my knowledge doesn't offer any footwear with waxed flesh.
