The Alden x J.Crew cap-toe boot in color #8 is Barrie.Alden J crew shell cordovan is barrie last or plaza last ?
I love my Aldens, they're definitely nice shoes, but I'd be very annoyed to have a shoe that's already been resoled, having just gotten it. Just means I'll have it for less time. Now I can't really notice the original issue, and I don't think it's that bad, I'm basically just speaking in general.
I'm making decision to buy Cap toe in Color 8 so
which one is the best and then why J crew lace is too big

Finally if i wear indy boot in 8 D what size i have to buy 8 or 8.5
let me add on a related question for people's opinions - jcrew perforated cap toes vs LSH color 8 jumpers?
I always wear like that
BTW, I am wondering if #8 LHS works with shorts or not.
pun intended?I totally wear my LHS with shorts! Has that old school Ivy league/vintage JFK look. color 8 LHS, khaki shorts, oxford ****, raybans
yeah, i've emailed epaulet twice and haven't received a response
edit: grammar
This is Alden we are talking about. Quality control and finishing are lacking in many parts of each shoe.!
** should a fix be warranted
Call Alden. I suspect they'll help you out. I stained my conservation boots and sent them back for refinishing. They fixed them up and sent them back at no charge to me, though I offered to pay. I received new laces too. No complaints there.
About three weeks. They called me before doing any work. Alden was very diligent in that regard. My compliments to the factory staff for their service.
Normally, I would agree with you. But Alden is . . . Alden. I wouldn't be upset if I had to send a new boot back for recrafting. I would be upset if they didn't do anything to correct the problem. There's going to be problems with a hand finished shoe (hand sewn or machined by hand). Some of these will make it through quality control (i.e. Alden's error rate). They're still nice shoes.
^ thx david3558.
i like the overall look of the LSH no8 jumpers as well - pull tab and all eyelets are both pluses. but am concerned about the true-balance last being too bulbous relative to the j.crew carries. anyone seen both in person?
^ I think we should explore your reference to "cheap hookers" in a little more detail...
