Alden black shell LHS, 11.5 D. They're in great shape - had been lightly worn when I got them, and I've only probably worn them ten or twelve times in a couple years. Soles are still solid.

$175 shipped in the CONUS.

Hey guys,

How about this.

Looking for a topcoat, cashmere or cashmere blend preferred, but if it's nice, I'll take pure wool. Size 40-41. Charcoal, Black, Camel, or Navy in that order. Single breast preferred. I'd like to pay between $50-$100, but I could go a bit higher if it's particularly nice. Nothing longer than 40" from the bottom of the collar. Notch lapels preferred as well. Desired measurements would be around 18.5-19.5" shoulder, 22-23 inches in the chest, 25-26 inches in the sleeve, 20-22 inches in the waist, 36-40 inches in length. If it's close to these, i'll give it a shot.

Also, I've got the following for trade, if you'd prefer. I'd be willing to trade one or more of these for the right coat. They're all right around the same size except for the Saks jacket which is a bit smaller. I'm going to put all these up on eBay tonight, but I'm happy to pull them down if you've got something.

This is the badass. Cortefiel, made in Spain, Size 42, pure pimp and heavy as ****, center vent

Saks 100% Cashmere, navy blue, longer, falls below my knees, measures somewhere around a 40, couple small defects, but overall a great peace (tiny amount of fraying on each cuff (unnoticeable unless you are looking for it, and the vent is starting to come undone from the inside)

Vintage Pendleton farm coat, Large, unlined, probably around a 42-44, excellent condition. Actually got this one from someone here, but I don't think it's going to work for me. Very nice though, and super cool.

If you can't find something decent used, the JCPenney Deacon is a damn good buy at $50-60. The pair I have don't look particularly cheap and seem like they'll be good for a couple years of wear at least.

I'm not sure why I've never run across this thread, but I'm glad I finally have. This is awesome. I have tons of stuff I'd love to trade. Once I get some time to photograph, I'm in.

Holy God. Thank you for this lead. I think I know what I'll be buying on black Friday: http://dappered.com/2014/09/in-review-the-jc-penney-stafford-deacon-gunner-boot/




I've been wanting a couple pair of "staple" boots for the winter, but could not afford AE, especially with the fear of buying used and getting a size that didn't fit and trying to return/exchange.

Has anyone worn these with a trouser/SC or a gray or blue suit? Wondering if they look professional enough, or have that cheap looking sheen.

Somehow or another, they are actually made from full grain leather.

Ya, I'm quite intrigued. Truthfully probably higher quality leather than a number of my normal shoes. My wife and I have a child free day on Sunday, maybe we'll head to JCPennys. I shall report back...

I have the predecessor to the Deacon. I'm insanely impressed with how they've held up after more than 2 years of wear and they're my go to boots right behind my Aldens.

I think I'm going to buy both the Deacon and the Gunner as a christmas gift to myself. You can get them in store for around $35 per pair once spring rolls around and they're putting all winter stuff on clearance (at least 2 years ago you could). One could easily argue that you get the most bang for your buck out of these over any other boot produced. ever.

When does this happen? Should I just look out for normal sales or what?

Thirty-five sounds good bet. For the hundred retail, I would either go for a good used pair, or something like Zara, maybe -- quality in doubt, but more relevant details.

Related: does anyone have experience bleaching a leather sole? If the cobbler won't do it, I'd like to try this before re-soling a couple pair (so the transition to the new sole will look more natural).

Also related: I may be looking for cheap shiny black dress footwear, size 8.5-ish, the more streetwear-y, the better. Will trade or maybe even pay dollars, depending.
