Audog-esk photo yesterday with the crimson longwings.

In most of the photos I've seen this one included the Crimson looks to be dark brown with a hint of reddish undertones. Is that about right? In bright light is it more red like a Merlot or Oxblood?

That's some lifestyle photography

Those have a nice glow to them - did you shine them up with something?

I saw your reddit post about the shifter mark - I guess there's not something to put on the shifter?

They are treated with Saphir Renovateur. Though I've heard only good thing about VSC so I'll try it next time since it's more economical.

I did try shifter sock, a rubber or cloth you put on your shifter. But to my experience, none of them actually works.

My original tankers for Tanker Tuesday

And the Grant Stones that started it all for me. Awesome comfort, and really amazing how good they look considering the (high) number of miles I have on them.

Any info on the loafers on the Instagram story the other day? Been in the market, but wondering if you had a sense of timing / colors.

Our penny loafer release is scheduled for early next spring. We will start with dune, crimson, navy cxl and snuff suede. All have a new (slightly lighter) antique welt with the exception of the dune which will have natural welts. They will be on the butyl outsole.

Really happy with how the fit has turned out. Quite soft, flexible with an unconstructed toe box and thinner leather heel counter. It does have a lining.

So happy with the snuff suede decision, guess I'll have to wait until then to grab a pair.. Was about to pull the trigger on some Alden LHS.

Funny, so was I but think I will wait for GS, as don't wear Penny Loafers that often especially in winter and winter is coming.

Happy to join y'all thanks to a screaming deal from @Thrift Couture on some ivory suede PTB's. Really impressed with the construction, materials, pretty much everything.

Great shoes from a great member here! You may wind up buying more GS, just so you know.

Looking very spiffy Sir! Thank you for the kind words @audog! He's not lying about buying more! Also, digging the sock!!!

Probably the crimson cxl PTB next, though I kinda wish they came with brass eyelets and rubber soles like the navy ones.

I may have to snag a pair of Dune loafers with the natural welt!

I was in a local store (old-school men's retailers) last Friday just burning some time, and it happens that they're the only place around here that has any Alden. One of the few things they had was a snuff LHS, and it was the first loafer that made me go "hmmmm" in a loooong time...
