Hey guys, looking for info on this boot. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Had some time the past few days so I re-reviewed all the awesome pix on this thread. Wow, the Aldens on this thread are so gorgeous. I think if I had to limit my self to just 7 pairs of Aldens (one for each day of the week) it would be these: 1. Color 8 Boots above (the sickest boots, by far) 2. Ravello Plaza Indy 3. 405 4. 975 5. 9015 6. Choco Suede NST boot 7. Ravello LWB, light edge trim I only have 4 of these 7 (with a 5th in production) so the search continues....

^What last is that wingtip #8 on? Seems like it would be a fairly easily conversion to get the antique edge so long as that's a barrie boot.

From what I know, the Epaulet Brixton and Unionmade Halleck both have a flat welt. I know the Halleck, at least, has had some variations ( black/antique edge, commando/double leather,), but did either of those at any point have a storm welt as shown above?

I'm on the Halleck pre-order, and it was billed as flat/black/commando.

that light colored storm welt makes the boot all the more awesome, IMO.

I believe that's the Leather Soul version above.

These are Epaulet Rivet Chinos in a golden heavyweight brushed UK twill (IIRC).

Yes, the cigar wt boots.

I was told the following exactly one month ago:

"We expect the cigar orders to arrive shortly (4-6 weeks)."

So hopefully any day now!
