    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread 2016 - News, Pictures, Sizing, Accessories, Clothing, etc

    I think these were announced on a Friday (three weeks ago), and I ordered mine late Sunday. They were on my central Texas doorstep eighteen days later.

    Stores don't carry inventory, and it's on clearance online, but if you search Allen Edmonds on the JosBank.com website, you'll find it: http://www.josbank.com/nathan-shoe-by-allen-edmonds-clearance-4EMAC

    All are good choices. The Carlyle and Strand are on different lasts (8 v. 5) so pick the one that offers the best fit. The Carlyle will work with dress pants. Another alternative: given that you mentioned the Fifth Avenue, which is available in dark chili, rather than oxblood: the Nathan, which...

    Yes: the Cambridge is the same pattern as the McAllister, but is the shell and double leather sole version. An incomplete list of other Allen Edmonds shoes on the 65 last using the same pattern (with variations in the type of leather and/or sole) include the Neumok (unlined, distressed leather...

    Interesting selection. Ignoring tuxedo pumps, I usually rank (in terms of formality [most >. . .> least]): lacing: oxford > derby > monk > loafer style: whole cut > cap toe > stitch cap > semi-brogue > brogue color: black > dark shades > light shades sole: leather > Dainite / discreet composite...

    The old MTO, and particularly the old website designer, allowed spectators. A few have mentioned customizing the sole on a current AE golf shoe, but Brooks Brothers Item MH00433 already has this covered. Does anyone know if these are the Heritage, or on a different last?

    (1) Return the kiltie monkstrap. I'd have a hard time parting with anything else, particularly the shell, and the other colors cover the spectrum. (2) I love my wingtip bals, even though some believe them to be a style clash. Your medallion cap toe bals, long wings and multiple burgundy shells...

    The "60 year" sticker on the sole prompted me to find a 1982 catalog: http://issuu.com/allenedmonds/docs/fall-1982-catalog McAllisters of that vintage were polished cobbler (CG); the Boulevards are "custom calfskin" and should be good if they are not totally dried out. Like the McAllisters...

    Quote: All should work, but depending upon how dark the charcoal pants, bourbon might be a distraction; chili and oxblood will work with everything other than dark brown. Between chili and oxblood, I prefer oxblood with most colors, particularly navy and charcoal; however, chili may be better...
