UPS stopped a little while ago! Hard decision to either just look at them, or wear them. Wear them won. View attachment 1016002 View attachment 1016003

Wise choice, well played Sir!

Is that AOC 25? Understand they are discontinuing that model. Is so what a shame.

Glad to hear guys are receiving their Ravello LWB’s from DC , my favorite Longwing , wearing mine today from 2014 batch.

Is it me or it really looks weird on that last?

Yea, I do not personally find the style/last combo appealing. I'm sure I could make that work too (close to my size) but... better that someone who really likes it get it.

Received my Ravello LWBs last week and the color matches the pair from a few months before on the captoe derby with medallion also from AoDC. Very nice color, fingers crossed no flaking. I have encountered minor flaking on the derby and some on the WTB from TSM which I sent to get repaired. Color looks great.

Mine flaked a bit, but they didn't redo when I got them resoled. If it does flake again I may just deglaze them myself!

Not sure I can get more Americana than this fit. RRL denim and shirt, and these glorious boots that I sometimes want to sleep in

You wear them well Audog. They look fantastic with the socks and matching watch strap. Glad you like them.

 

[Dearborn]

Wow, both of you had flaking on your Alden’s?

Is this common?

 

[M635Guy]

I can't see the "Rare Leathers" section either. Sorting the 2nds by price, none are in there, either. Hmmm...

Already had the watch/strap, so HAD to get matching boots. These are a really nice makeup, perfect last for a boot that isn't a "work" boot (Indy)

I had the overwhelming urge to seek out a little "retail therapy" today. Oddly, I selected a LWB. Weird, right? Yenni was finalizing an order for a dark brown suede LWB on commando and had room for a EEE in the mix. They will go very well with the snuff, navy and hunting green brothers already in the closet. And yes, I now feel better.
