Got my brooks brothers lhs. Was really worried about sizing. I'm a 9e in the trubalance. I have 9.5 in the Barrie plain toe bluchers. I was worried but the width is perfect so I'm happy going up to a 9.5 but I have some minor heel slip. I'm joking it goes away with break in .

great shade on those cigars. I'd grab a second pair in 11.5 if I could

I'm 11.5D if you got any you don't want! LOL.

That's some amazing looking cigar, especially out of the box.. sadly, it'll probability be awhile before another run.

YOu're right. I didn't realize it has to do with the availability of the leather. I get it now. Horween is in shortage on Cordovan.

If anyone has an Cigar Indy in 11.5D they want to part with I'll add BOOT ($$$) pun intended. LOL.

For anyone curious about the shade of cigar from the just dropped TSM Indys, well in direct afternoon sunlight I'd say it's rather quite splendid.

Edit to add: sadly these aren't mine, they belong to TO Tie Guy. I was just honored to be able to give them a temporary home at the moment.

Stunners. Can't wait till tomorrow

Whiskey for the second day in a row. Man I love these loafers.

Back in the Yenni Suede WTB's today - my broken toe likes them MUCH better than the AE shoes I brought on this trip...

Can you return? These expand a bit and, if you've got heel slip now, it's gonna get worse.

Man those are nice.

Were they a one time thing or does Alden release those now and again.

I can return but if I go a shorter length I don't think the width will work. These actually fit like my AE randolphs. I had heel slip when they were new but as I broke them in it went away. I'm hoping that's the case with these. I mocked up some heel pads yesterday and no slip. Do these expand a lot ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They were from Alden SF a couple of years back but I don't believe they are running them anymore. I did see a few people this year have new pairs posted in the thread but I am not sure where they came from, I want to say The Shoe Mart but could be wrong. Once you find out which retailer has plans to run them again you could contact them and see if you are able to get on a waiting list.

Finally. Gonna be a good day I hope.

Wow those Indys are great, best batch of Cigar I have seen in a long while too. Congrats to everyone fortunate to snag a pair.

Ugh, why won't someone sell me the 8D already!

Maybe because you are only offering $1 in your WTB ad..... LOL

Nice Indy's, Gents. The hand stitched apron looks very nice. I would be hesitant to actually wear these.
