    ***The official Alden thread *** Share enthusiasm, reviews, sizing, advice, and photos.

    So what's the consensus on defective Aldens lately. My cigar shell boots just blew their stitching out after wearing them maybe a dozen times. -_- Terrible quality control imho.

    I used obenauf's on Leather Soul's Chromex Aldens. Turned out just fine. YMMV I suppose.

    ***The official Alden thread *** Share enthusiasm, reviews, sizing, advice, and photos.

    Any thoughts on Indy sizing by leather: Aniline vs Chromexcel vs Cordovan? I went to the Alden store in DC and tried on an assortment of Indys. The aniline (403) in 11C fit my heel well, but was a little tight on the widest part of my forefoot. The 11D fit ok, maybe felt a little spacious, maybe...

    not usually an NST guy, but damn these look good. Not to beat a dead horse but I have yet to see a pair of LS shoes that look remotely like they're photographed on their website. But yes, those are looking quite nice.

    Should I or shouldn't I buy... (clothing item)?

    I would totally buy those if I could afford them. You could put it on credit then make extra cash herding cats.

    Should I or Shouldn't I? Excellent camouflage for studying domestic calicoes in their native environment. You'll be just like an indoor Steve Irwin; we'll call you the tabby whisperer.

    Should I or shouldn't I buy... (clothing item)?

    About to pull the trigger on these. Worth it for 245? What are they? They look similar to 1000 miles to me.

    J Crew Fall/Winter 2010 Discussion

    Yeah, I just went on the site browsing and noticed the 25% off. I tried it first with the boots I just bought, and it worked fine. That is when I called and requested a refund. When they didn't I bought the boots again along with some Alden Cordovan Cap Toes and a sweater. My order still says...

    J Crew Fall/Winter 2010 Discussion

    I assume no one has had their Indy's ship yet? Mine still says processing, which worries me a little. You're lucky to have your order track within 4 business days on a jcrew order. A tracking # is typically sent on the second business day.

    J Crew Fall/Winter 2010 Discussion

    Slammyman, how did you know about the 25% off at 1:30am? Did you happen to be at jcrew.com, or did you see the deal on a site? I didn't get the email from J. Crew until about noon today. It rolled in at midnight pst last night, that's when I posted it here. He's right, everything was pretty...

    J Crew Fall/Winter 2010 Discussion

    I am not being argumentative, but how does one, let's say J. Crew, profit more from selling something that it has a finite supply of at a discount, then selling said item at full price? I really want whomever to get the 25% off, but I am simply stating that basic economics that deal with finite...

    J Crew Fall/Winter 2010 Discussion

    I would not like to be in J. Crew's shoes (Indy boots?) right now, as they stand to either anger a lot of folks, or lose their entire inventory of Alden Indy boots at a 25% loss right before the holidays. Further, if you notice, no other Alden vendor ever releases promo codes that effect their...

    Not true. Read the disclaimer that was up and posted as DETAILS right next to the TURKEY code on the front of the webpage! U WRONG!!! You're a troll. The exact thing being violated here is actually the credit card processing agreement between the merchant and the card companies, specifically...

    Let me axe you a question

    I was over at gilt and I see the heynow, famous red and gray scale axes have sold out. I was admiring the $300 blanchetta but I wasn't sure if it would go with my SC Aldens. What axe do you carry?
