nice collection

what's the rubber pad on the cap toes?

It's a Vibram sole protector, it's really thin and I have them put on all my shoes, I like it better than the Topy type as it has small ridges for extra traction - it helps when the office floors are marble and slippery as hell after rain/snow.

Update:

Here's my modest Alden collection:

From StyleForum, a sizing guide!

Arrow those are ridiculously nice!

Just got my Canon 7D (switched over from a Nikon D300), first pic of new shoes with new camera!

Yet another pair of chromexcel Indy's (403, natural welt).

Just an utterly beautiful and deeply introspective song.

Ugh I need some tassel loafers!

That's honestly a shame that SE won't be carrying them anymore

Thankfully, I bought a deadstock pair from a friend months ago! The fit is fantastic, don't know what could possibly be a good alternative for the 5010xx.

If anyone's interested in a Steinhart Ocean 1 GMT Black/Red bezel let me know before I toss her back up on Watchuseek. I've got too many Ocean 1's haha.

Beautiful, what last and how's the fit?

Thanks to a friend's suggestion:

Bill Evan's "But Beautiful" album.

A late pass perhaps, but I'm having fun. This is the first Gibson book I've ever picked up and I'm pretty certain I will devour this and the two following parts quite quickly and then maybe look into some of his older stuff, when I fin the time. I can definitely see why some have speculated him to be a sufu lurker/poster, after only a few chapters of this book. I can't wait to get to Zero History and the whole perfect pair of japanese pants thing, then.

Pattern Recognition was the first Gibson book I read too; made me wish I owned a Black BR MA-1!

Probably should have read this in high school, but I didn't so I am excited to start this one. I hope it's a good read.

No need to hope! It is a great book

Damn, all the PBJ pix are making me jealous!

What I typically carry with me on a daily basis:

* Moleskine daily planner (can’t live without it)

* employee ID cards

* leather bracelets

* keys

* watch (this one’s a Steinhart Ocean 1 GMT)

* wallet

* iPhone

Edit: @kiya: I personally like Nalgene bottles, they're strong and work well for me!

Rewatching House, starting from season 1... a bit slow but good enough to keep me from being bored while ironing all my damn shirts.

Good suggestions!

On my previous 18-200, I found that I hardly ever used anything past 100-150. However, I tended to stay between 18-100 range.

My primary on the Nikon set was:

18-200mm

I also frequently used a 50mm f/1.8 as well as a 50mm f/1.4 (although with the 1.5x crop it was a bit too "close" for me)

Being a long time Nikon user, I've decided to try the Canon camp as well. I'm getting rid of my D300 and a bunch of my lenses in order to buy a Canon 7D.

Anyone want to chime in what lenses might make a good pair with the 7D?

Damn this thread's gotten big since I first asked about glasses!

Long shot but does anyone here have experience/plan on getting LASIK?

I'm scared.

Everyone thinks I'm the most confident and prepared person they know, with a road map to their career. I have to admit I am better off than most of my peers but it's definitely scary thinking that I'm already so far into a decision I made a couple years ago, preparing myself for a high level career in marketing. I hope I'm taking the right steps but it's scary when plans being made inadvertently get changed.

1. Failure

2. Losing immediate family/friends

3. Cuts to the neck

nahh...speaking for ed, but he's had a few Alden's....

Ah I see! Well, new Alden's still call for 'congrats' haha

Also... help me out guys!

Can't decide which one to get:

What do you guys think? As much as I'd love to, I can't purchase both!

copped a ravello shel nst shoe factory 2nd.. cant wait!

Congrats, first pair of Aldens? Shoe and not a boot right?

i've been racking my brain over this career shit

i am seriously in need of a mentor who's in the business field who can bitch slap me in the face and tell me to man the fuck up

Man the fuck up.

Beautiful. Arrow, those swapped out soles are awesome!

Can't wait to get my pair of #8 captoe boots from J.Crew.
