Definitely not a sweater (jumper) guy. But had to get this Bleu de Chauffe seaman's sweater after seeing a review. With Stronghold slubby jeans and Nike Daybreaks in my favorite colorway.
@Duke Mantee, I take pretty much everything on the internet with a grain of salt. I think when the boots are cut in half and the materials used are layed out for all to see, it's up to each person to judge the quality and value.
I know that he has shown some interesting construction shortcuts that many of the makers have used. If I'm buying something for $100s or $1000s of dollars, I'm going to look into all of the details before shelling out money.
I also want to point out I have no affiliation with Rose Anvil and no grudge against Alden. Just giving people another piece of input.
If you are thinking about buying Alden's, or any other big name boots, check out Rose Anvil on youtube. He cuts boots in half to examine their materials and construction. The Alden Indy video may be enlightening.
