^^^Now that is one good looking logo...

From what I understand that one is definitely copyrighted.

Am I correct?

Also, technically the AoSD logo is a LWB... based off of the Ravello LWBs I wore today! ;-)

There we go. Got to keep these posts in context.

Ha! Thats a little busier than I prefer. I like a clean and simple logo like Polo or Brooks Brothers...

Ok. You got it man.

That one definitely nailed it home.

Sounds like a winner.

I don't think there is anything wrong with Logo when it is something that 99.9% of the world has never heard of....I am still waiting to meet a person in real life that has heard of Alden.

I once complimented a well dressed colleague, JPress Andover shop guy, on his tasseled loafers. "Nice Aldens"says I.
"No these are Brooks Brothers," says my colleague.

@mdubs

I think you are right about finding a polo that is of excellent quality.

Something with a decent thread count.

 

[Watchman1]

By the way...excellent Whiskey Cordovan specimens from @MrDV

 

[Profligate47]

Woooooooooooooooooooo beauties!

...

Dang, those are terrific, I hope that you enjoy them for many years to come! Those pants are pretty chunky and sweet also!

That is a great looking model....might be trading my 975s in for those someday!

what a beautiful pair of shoes! I love the color variance on those babies!

Thanks to you all!
The commando makes them super practical...

 

[MrDV]



Ha! How about this?

That looks great. Thanks for finding that. I want one for sure. The mullet version; tasteful business logo on the front, huge logo on the back!

I think that was the hardest I laughed all day....

Anyone know if the natural Chromexcel loafers are available anywhere besides Leffot? I can't seem to find any ....

Shoot Stefan @ skomakerdagestad.no an email ([email protected]), they recently received a run of natural cxl LHS with dark edging and flexwelt sole.

At Any Rate.

My dear wife just informed me not too long ago that her contractions were now 10 min apart...

Stay Tuned.

Congrates!

Congrats brother on your new child. Care to disclose the gender?

I am not sure if you are serious or joking on the Alden T-shirt or not. I wouldn't be too interested in a shirt to be honest as I just don't wear T-shirts anymore except doing house chores. However, I could go for a polo shirt. Forest green with just the Alden "Goat" Crest in a golden thread would be tasteful but not obnoxious if logo was like 1". I could probably figure it out if folks were interested.

Count me in on this!

Amazing wingtip boot family shot, so much awesomeness in one picture.

Some well-used boots from J.Gilbert originally purchased summer 2013, paired with new Gustin denim.

Only products I've used are a bit of Renovateur and VSC. They've seen some decent winter action here in the NW.

Nice boots Spencer!
I love how its summer and everybody is still posting pics of Alden boots!

Spencer:

A little history of that boot. That boot was originally our AF78. We started working with J.Gilbert around 2007/2008, and we eventually turned that style over to them, while keeping the dark brown and black versions, AF84 and AF85.

In this Style Forum post from 2009, they're discussing AF78 and AF84: http://www.styleforum.net/t/98078/alden-af84

Here's a picture of AF78 taken in October, 2007:



This boot is timeless. Glad yours is serving you well.
