is it correct to assume that the most likely way to get cigar indy's is through alden SF, DC or NY?

Does anyone know of any year/2year/unknown length lists?

I know JGilbert had a list going specifically for Cigar Indy's. No telling when it'll be confirmed, but it's out there at least.

those whiskey PTBs look amazing

Even with the sock combo these look great!

Went Ravello LHS for a more casual Friday. I do not dig that sock pairing at all, but it was supposed to match my sport coat. Whatever, just won't do that one again... I am pretty sure this is what Penny Loafers were made to look like! -Mike

I've never seen these before, if they are actually alden . Found them surfing the webz.

They do look like an aberdeen lasted loafer under that kiltie...

I'd say Van or Copley. Aberdeen is more pointy, but I've been wrong before.

Pro47, I don't have any alpine grain Aldens, but after seeing yours I definitely want some. Nicely done sir.

Thanks! This is my first Alpine Grain. Also like the NSTs with commando at J Gilbert...

The whiskey PTB's were my first Alden purchase of 2014 too! I need to find them in cigar and Ravello.

Yep. JGilbert. I'm on that list. Not confirmed, though.

Alpine grain is is awesome, but Alden's version has historically looked too red for me. I've preferred the leather in boots from Alfred Sargent and Crockett and Jones

 

[thebeebs]

^ +1, my thoughts exactly.

 

[sevenfoldtieguy]

tifosi, we might have to start an Alden Alpine Grain Appreciation Thread, that's if we can find some shoes for ourselves first.

Right? That pair at JGilbert is calling out me, but I just can't convince myself to spend almost shell money on them.

Variety is the spice of life.

Alden has alpine grain and cognac alpine grain, with the latter having more red hues. Perhaps you are referring to both .....

I asked the Alden SF folks about this and they said it the boot may never be confirmed/made (not sure about the other shops though).

I just took delivery of a pair of 975s. The color 8 dye job on the vamp should have put these in the seconds list. I'm really surprised Alden sent them out.
I was so disgusted that I just reboxed them up without taking pictures. But you guys know anyway all too well what that looks like.
