Think they're looking good, even after being the go-to shoe for snow and rain all winter and having a TV stand fall on them!

Alden #8 shell PTB commando sole.

Ink everywhere, what a pig!

Wear it if you like it on - don't worry about how it 'should' fit.

I do own a pair (the 4th edition he did since selling through SE) and I also own his first chambray shirt and I'm of a different conclusion.  Having his name stitched on the inside pocket is nice (I know there are tons of little details, just picking a more apparent one) but I end up often reaching for other jeans.  Again its all personal preference so not trying to start a big back and fourth but my Roy's don't even stand on their own out of the 3 'nice' pairs I have! 

The detail work is great, which is why I do enjoy my Roys but the denim is so pedestrian compared to what some of the Japanese brands are using.  I know its a 'custom' cone mills denim, but it just doesn't have the same character and fading.

His jeans are great but I think people give them extra credit because of the one man construction.  There are some great details, but lots of other brands also have great details that are on par imo.  The denim isn't as interesting as several competitors too.  Overall they're a great jean but a lot of the magic is the one-man construction.   

Alden Plain Toe Boot, #8 shell.  Stunning...

fyi - they've still got a Portland shirt in XL at SFNY

classic mistake.

Or just use the money you saved on her gift and get it for yourself

Just got these a week or so ago, loving them now but they should look even better with age

Alden #8 shell on trubalance last

beer + sales = a winning combo

I'd love fall if winter wasn't right after it!

^I guess fall isn't ALL bad

Thanks - can't wait to see em!

We'll have two oxfords and one engineer boot November 1st at SENY, SEPDX, and in our online store.  For the price they're very very good.

About how much are we looking at for the engineer boots Kiya?

Thanks

Those are some nice engineer boots - and not to start a bloody debate, but how do they compare to the Viberg engineers?  They seem comparable in specs (and price).  I'm warming to the idea of getting some engineers down the road.

August bump

Would guess 5-10%

Leather Goods Connection has always been good to me.

Looks like good times up there in the pacific northwest

Anything exciting coming for the fall that you could hint at kiya?

^Good group of guys over there... even if they did induce me to spend thousands needlessly...

And to your point, my White's are just starting to break in juuuuuust a little

looking good

Let's try this again - $140 shipped this time (CONUS - elsewhere for maybe a couple bucks more)  

Get ready for the fall with these great brand new boots!

Sweatshirt on the way...  would pick up some of those jeans if I wasn't already overloaded with denim... Oh well, looks like good stuff

#84 checking in - after 13+ weeks the red dog oiled bounty hunters are here!  Snapped a quick shot before work --- will try to take better (i.e. less bad) pictures later.  Will also try and get the soles to bend sometime in the next week!  They're a much darker red but crappy lighting is making them seem neon.
