I wore my OG Jeffersons this week. I’d rather not have though if it were up to me. But things being what they were, it was the only appropriate choice.

Jeffersons look nice with that outfit, although from the tone of the post, I feel like saying I'm sorry for your loss.

DC area folks, any ideas where I can get some oxblood polish? Kiwi is fine, I ain't fancy. AE.com doesn't seem to have that color, and the Navy exchange on the Yard was no joy (I am disappoint, Navy).

Good question, as I have oxblood MacNeils en route. And for what it's worth, found some creative answers below. But I do like @WNovizar's answer as oxblood appears as a watery red to me.

Which color polish with oxblood leather?

I just received a pair of Vass shoes in oxblood and am wondering which color of cream and wax to use on them. I use Saphir products on my other shoes but don't know if they have anything close to oxblood. If I stay with Saphir, should I use dark brown cream and wax? Or would anyone recommend...

Thanks @ae_ashley . That's re: the photo. Is it also the case that only #8 or black will be the shaved color options?

And does anyone have a comparison of the shaft heights of HM and 1st Ave?

ONLY #8 shaved. No black. The 1A is a bit taller. Maybe 1/2 inch or so?

Is it necessary to attend the trunk show in order to get a pair of chili shell Strands, or will they be widely available for order? Also, matching belt...?

Nope. In store limited quantities only pertains to the scuffed/shaved shell. You can have all the chili you want!

As long as it's a shoe and not a belt.

I will be the first YES vote for burnishing.

Call a few AE stores or outlets. One of them may have a tube or two stashed away. y

Else it's eBay and pay up:

Labour day sale is here

Not a tonne in my size - Any thoughts on walnut vernons? Super cheap at $99 - but also a semi-strange combination of formal oxfords with casual colour and austerity broguing

I'm getting an unexpected authorization login thing that keeps blocking me from using the site.

Same here. AE seriously needs to get some talent over on their web dev team. Or at least get a QC person to test things out before pushing this crap onto the server, it's ridiculous...

It's working now. They do have their issues, but at least it's not like Alden's site.

Looking at the inventory, there's a lot of stuff for sale that I was not aware of. There's plenty of grey cxl Strandmoks if anyone is interested for $157. There's some boat shoes at great prices too. Also, some Horween flip flops!

Which of the trunk show host stores are the nearest from Santa Clarita, Las Vegas?

I keep getting opportunities to buy the MacLennan. I really don’t need one. My thought goes like this:

Since I have zero opportunities to wear a black whole cut, I should get it for such a cheap price—I won’t be paying a lot for a shoe I won’t wear!

Then I think...

I should buy a more expensive whole cut that is more sleek, but only when I start to have a need to wear one

I saw that the 2 pairs of strands i bought on summer clearance are actually better priced at this labor day sale.
Googled and saw that AE doesn’t do price adjustments: you have to buy again at the better price then return the original purchase.
I tried making the buy prob a dozen times. In different ways too, even at one point adding an additional 3 pairs of shoes, even at another point, some shell bradleys i took a liking to in store.
No dice.
The website didn’t want my money.
That was 4 hours ago. Frustrated, i went to bed.
Just woke up and figured id try again. Tried several times.
No go.
Then i put in a couple pairs without the original strands i wanted. Guess what? Transaction completed and email confirmation followed 5 seconds later.
My resolve reinvigorated, I attempt my orig strand purchase, the whole fn point to it: fail.
I try again with a different credit card, one i havent used in a year: success!

Good luck on their website everyone.
