That leather will be awesome. For all of you that have both...how do the fit of an Allen Edmonds translate over to GS? Say if I wear an 11E in AE would thst be my size in GS?
It really depends. I'm only an E in the 65-last and whatever they used the for AExMD Chukka (E didn't exist, but it would be perfect if did).

If you have an 11E Higgins Mill, I'd go down a half but keep the width (i.e. a 10.5E)

My $0.02. Grant Stone gives excellent sizing translation advice if you contact them.

Dune CXL Diesel boots today. They certainly haven’t stayed pretty, but I can’t think of many leathers that could pair better with all my mustard clothing.

Thanks. I would actually love to see them. Just been rotating my same 3 pairs and love them all. Dune CXL and black CXL Diesels and black waxy commander Edwards. I prefer the design of the Edward overall, but the Diesel boots are great too.
A bit late but here's a couple snaps from them. As you can see most of the wax has worn off but I'm loving the look. My phone is showing a bit of yellowing/graying or whatever in a couple of the pictures (in the side and toe) but I honestly don't see it IRL, third photo looks the closest to the real color. Let me know if you want me to get something in particular.

Looks great. I greatly appreciate the good pictures. While I never plan on rewaxing my black waxy commander boots I could see myself oiling the dark oak roughout once every year or two if i get them. Reminds me of the reverse chamois that Alden uses quite a bit. I like that look when they're partly oiled but not too much.

I suppose on my waxy commander I would consider trying out the somewhat oiled look someday too. Just not into the fully waxed 'like new' look.

Actually agree, the look is great but I think oiling/waxing them or what not will help preserve them better. I'm still just not sure of what product to use.
