add a perforation to the cap toe and throw a a pull tab on there and you've got my dream boot!

This is my new dream boot.

bduece, congrats on the LW, the 975 is on my wish list

Ok, just for the challenged among us, what Alden model is this again?

Amazing boots.

The #8 shell longwing.



Lagsun: You know how I feel about that boot. With the crappy weather we are currently having in Seattle I might need to break my pair out for tomorrow.

I don't mind pull tabs. Is this something a cobbler can add?

 

[NewYorkIslander]



have you seen these?

Have not, but those are way too similar to my C&Js. Would really love PTB.

Probably not, since its impossible to find anything in B+S classifieds

LOL, i hear that.

Thanks, but I asked the wrong question, or the right question at the wrong time.

I meant the boot., the cigar, shell, commando sole combo that NAMOR and now (I think) you are referring to.

To make it clear, this boot.

It says 40680HC inside the boot but I think it was a special makeup for the Alden DC store.

probably, but i can guarantee that it wont be in horween cigar shell. chances are it might look messy and i wouldn't touch it as is...i was just daydreaming about my grail boot.

Starting to like the Grant last more. Apologies for the crappy iPhone photo in flourescent office lighting. Cigar captoe boots with commando sole & Marcoliani OTC cotton socks purchased on B&S.

Thanks. I purchased them from SF member HorseHide. I heard these were a special makeup for Alden DC but don't quote me on it.

You can quote me on it - Lagsun is correct (and I'm glad you're enjoying them).
