Shoes that look better with age...

[Chicken]

speaking of, for those who are interested in flight jackets and boots and still haven't visited it, i highly recommend his site:

i'm pretty sure those will all see plenty of wear. please don't just put random comments with pics just because ed posted them.

Thanks for the advice.

[rnrswitch]

actually, some of those are shoes that get plenty of wear. the image is stolen from kinjiro-san's site. the particular image from one of their get-togethers:

i was thinking it's kind of strange edmond just posted it without any mention.

Ahhh I just assumed they were Edmond's and by process of reason they were not going to get worn.

[edmond]

oh sorry about that. i posted the info and link on the flight jacket thread.

cheers! yeah bills suppose to answer that not me . im happy to know the answer too soo.. bill?

[Quinnskimo]

I don't really understand the aesthetic appeal of flight jackets.

[lenn]

that's all good this is the shoe topic anyways so like yea

[Quinnskimo]

yea i was thinking the same thing after i posted that. but whatev, it's all leather. didn't even know there was a flight jacket thread until today

[Chicken]

oh sorry about that. i posted the info and link on the flight jacket thread.

yeah, i don't think those guys appreciate people ripping their images off. and it says specifically on his site don't directly link pics and stuff from his page to other sites, FYI.

You better be careful Ed, you don't want a denim otaku beatdown with work boots. Or worse! They might ban you from Smart clothing store.

[emmitbrown]

Please don't refer to Edmond as a specialist, just because he owns a ton of pairs don't mean shit.

I was thinking the same thing...The only thing Edmond is a specialist in is buying tons of whatever product that will garner internet people's attention. Everyone seems to forget his "tell me what to buy" posts (last one I can think of is when he needed shoes for his wedding), or for that matter all of his 'edmond' posts altogether.

Didn't edmond once get "permanently" kicked off of a somewhat reputable website. At least it used to be reputable... I seem to remember a whole homophobic, racist tirade.

[lenn]

aah who cares... edmond will always be a sufu special and he helps bill to get through the winter. i think he's rather useful, as we can get him to buy anything that might be interesting to see if it actually is.

[technicolor]

Why is everyone bagging on Edmond?

He is himself here on SUFU and isn't afraid of the repercussions which is more than I can say for most people on here.

He's more of a source of encouragement and help than he is a hinderance so he gets my two thumbs up.

[fre-co]

so, um, where are the shooz in this threak?

[mofonyx]

here you go fre$co, just bought a pair of clarks today (after ravaging the Yohji store in London = no money )

Picture quality could be a lot better..

Picture while trying them out at the store..

So he shouldn't worry about the repercussions if he is a racist homophobe. Good to know he is welcome here!!

quoted for truth. he don't hurt nobody. let edmond be edmond

Hey all...Been away for a little bit as I have some personal stuff going on right now and haven't really had time to post...

At any rate a couple of you sent me some PM's about 3 weeks back asking about the Burnished Tan Indy's I have on order from Alden...I don't have pictures as I haven't gotten the shoes yet (Hopefully they will be here in March)...But I do have a couple pictures of what inspired me to get some Indy's Done up in Burnished Tan...

I saw these pics over on Indygear last year sometime and since I love distressed 405's I fell for these hard...Obviously they are in the famous pumpkin orange / brown color that the 405's were being made in at about the early 2000's to maybe 2005 range...As I said I really love the color and had to have a pair...Since they didn't make that color anymore the closest I could get was Burnished Tan hence my special order through Alden...Anyway here is the pics that inspired me...

First pics of the Burnished Tan from Alden...

and the Pics that inspired me...Very close to the Burnished Tan Calfskin that is pictured above and what I have on order I think...

i don't think he's that uptight if you ask permission to use his images. but i think it's courtesy to at least credit people when you use their stuff.

i just double-checked and kinjiro-san's site in particular says "link free" which i believe means he doesn't mind if you create links directing people to his site.

[edmond]

ohh i did credit him on the flight jacket thread.

ok thanks

Here's a couple pairs of Redwings...my stinky 875s and some J Crews that I am trying to keep in better shape...

[Ahlvahroe]

bottom right. are those suede? i love suede shoes i think i prefer it to leather. what are they, they look real good.

[MiniW]

hey Alden fans, I was just googling images and came across this store:

Museam Ark (outside the U.S.)

anyways they have some special edition Indy's and other Aldens. Very nice to look at.
