Yep, these are Barrie last from Epaulet, I think I bought them in 2011. Rydenfan's from LS were very similar and are also a fantastic boot, they look particularly great in that shot he posted. I think the only differences were a waterloc sole that he mentioned and also a reverse welt, whereas the Epaulet Brixton was double leather with a flat welt. I think Unionmade also had a very similar looking boot right around the same time, I forget what it was called though.

Welcome to the Alden shoe hunt.

For standard shoes, the shoes listed on aldenshoe.com, you can contact any Alden retailer and they can get them made for you with the next batch.

Then each store has their own special designs including shoes in the exotic colors. You need to work with each retailer individually to see what they make, if/when they are going to make them again, and see if they have a list going for that design.

Good luck and happy hunting! It can be a little daunting at first, but by establishing a relationship with a shop or two can be very handy. That's what I call the Mike Method.

haha thanks for the welcome! I've resisted Alden for so long because of the price point and that it seemed overwhelming to find the "sought after" models, but since the Hampton I tried on today fit so much better than any AE or Carmina model I've tried thus far, I may have to bite the bullet and join the fun. But first, I need to sell off the shoes I bought that don't fit

Looks great! We have very similar tastes apparently... Unlined Dover and the rare rainbow PTB. I like the color of your Ravello.

Nice looking family you have there. Btw your Ravellos are very orange/reddish - almost Color 4

I call that shade Redvello. The new Ravello I call Brownvello.
