  1. I was at the RRL store in Malibu today and they had some really nice work shirts.

    (As well as many other amazing items.)

    Silly prices tho....

    Still lovin my buzz rickson chambray! Great quality and fit.

  2. Soooo nice in person!

    Oh and size up 1/2 from your Barrie last/chukka size.

    I wear 9 1/2 in cordo and calf chukkas and the 10 Plaza fits me like a dream.

    Now if Leathersoul would just do that beautiful Plaza wing tip boot in brown calf!

    Aldens fucking rule......

  3. I think that the chukkas, though a bit "chunky" can look great with a suit, esp in cordovan.

    That said, I find the Plaza last to be much sleeker and even better for a more dressy look. Boot or shoe.

    I just got these in black calf

    they look great with suits but really badass with jeans too!

    They also come in cordovan....

  4. Hey all,

    I'm looking to order some ultimate Indys from Tom at Leathersoul and I'm trying to pin

    down my size. I wear 9 1/2 in Alden chukkas (Barrie last) and 10 in Alden's Plaza last.

    I'm thinking I'd be a 9 1/2 but if someone who owns these and other Alden lasts (Amlai?) could chime in that would be so helpful. Thanks!

    ps: Bill, those chukkas are amazing! Such a cool color, nice one....

  5. So, I've been dreaming of an Alden wing tip boot on the plaza last, a la familyman's

    beautiful boots in this thread, but done in brown calf instead of cordovan. I wrote to

    Leather Soul and they have no plans to order such a boot.

    Anyone else think that this would be a beautiful shoe? Maybe if enough folks

    wanted them we could make an order happen....
