Was digging through old photos and ran across the time I tried on a McTavish at Nordstrom. I can't remember for the life of me what is on my right foot! This was April 2013.




Maybe an Aberdeen? Can't see the sole and I just don't remember. Kind of wish I had bought them and not the McT's that I later returned.

If you go green then I would double down on my chocolate recommendation (assuming shell is out of the budget). Depending on the shade of green, pairing it with oxblood may add a splash of Christmas to the look that you probably don't want in a June wedding. Do a Google image search on the chocolates to find some pics out in the wild. I think you'll like what you see.

Quote: Yes, @Neo1 the upcoming April sale, and 15% off is what was mentioned as the possible discount, adjusted as necessary.



Happy Walnut Wednesday everyone!

Does anyone know if there will a recrafting component to the upcoming sale in April?

Owned a pair in whiskey cordovan briefly, sold them as they were a bit too roomy for my liking. They were and 8.5D and that size works for me in the 1 last and 5 last but I think sizing down to an 8D or maybe 8.5C would have been best in the 7 last for me. Overall just too much room. I also had 2 pairs of Macneils in 8.5D that I sold off as well. Brannock size is just over an 8 for me.

Ugh was hoping that my 10.5C in the 5 last would equate to an 11D in the 7 + insole. Oh well.

Would you wonderful people be willing to help me out in selecting the right color of AE Daltons to go with, chiefly, a suit I've purchased for my wedding?

He could always go burgundy shell 

Would be my advice as well. It's pretty much impossible to go wrong with burgundy shell.

Did somebody say burgundy shell Daltons...?

I wore these last week in the rain and they got all gritty. This is after five minutes of loving with a damp towel, some VSC, a brush, and a flannel polishing cloth. They still need a bit of edge dressing. Goddamn I love shell cordovan:

Figured I'd throw mine up here since we're talking burgundy shell Daltons today. Surprise rain shower when I was out at lunch, so they got a little spotted. Shown here with Epaulet Prince of Wales Walts I recently picked up from another forum member.

Killer combo Andy!

Brown shell strands on the subway this am:

Same for me today, except on the office carpet. Not sure were you are, but the subways here in NYC are filthy. Yours look quite well kept.



Probably get the best glow on these out of all my AE shells.

I think that's Aberdeen based on exposed eyelets, blucher lacing and rough leather. Looks like split welt as well just like Aberdeen but not really sure without the sole as you said.

Yeah I read subways, then I looked at the picture, then thought, not in NYC.

DC. I must have gotten on a good train car, lol. Our cars are carpeted, which is good, except you can't remove chewing gum from carpet. Edit: we are starting to get some new cars that have that MTA-stye linoleum floors!

Ah. I'm going to DC this weekend. I'll try to get a shot on one of the subway cars then

I've been out of the SF game for a good bit, but took some time with my bottle of Saphir and a few pairs AEs last night. I realized that most of my AEs are of the dark brown brogue persuasion and that I should really get some plaintoes in different colors soon. Does anybody have the details for the upcoming April sale (I apologize if it has been posted already, I've been out of the loop for a while!). Also, how does the new 201 last compare to the 5 last?

Walnut Wednesday with the (new to me) walnut shell Dalton's
