Its a PTB #8 Friday for me.

My long awaited Snuff Suede Roy Boots from Context Clothing are finally in. I ordered these back in May of 2015 and it seems like that should be too long to wait for some boots that are not an exotic shell cordovan, but the wait just makes it that much sweeter... or at least that's what I tell myself!

Now I just need to wait a few more days for them to make it to my house.

I'm with you

(took the eBay finds out to make sure the fit was as good as I thought) strictly-speaking, I'm not sure if these are officially Color 8

Mac, those are probably my favorite Alden. I just love this makeup, it is perfect for San Diego! Your pair looks superb and I am sure that you are looking dapper in them!


Mac, those Ravello WTs are just extraordinary. Such a beautiful color, shine, and pattern.

nephew,
thank you

I broke a damn lace on the "new" derbies (I get the feeling these were an attic find), so I'm hunting around for 3mm flat waxed laces in a 75cm burgundy-toned brown...

These might be in the neighborhood...


Laces Express or whatever didn't seem to have flat laces that narrow and their colors aren't very nuanced - any other recommendations?

I bought these and like them, just a dark brown though. Shown below laced in my AE Leeds.

Your Color 8 Tassels are looking just great today. Their shine is looking great and they have a nice eggplant color to them!

Your Unlined #8's were looking great today Burzan!

Glad to inspire my friend. It was a very hot week for San Diego this week, so Suede seemed very appropriate. Your Crew Bluchers are looking stellar. Thats a cool pattern with the Tan and Eyelets and the WT pattern.

I don't have many Alden's left anymore...but these Ravello LHS's are a staple IMO.

Looking good MrV. The Ravello LHSes are a great makeup. Sorry to hear that you don't have many Aldens anymore....
