Aldens weathered the salty walk today much better than my work trousers…

wiped em' clean when I got into the office and they were ready to go.

I put a pre order for cigar indy's at leffot 2 years ago and still no word those color 8's are very nice

[tigerpac]

Crazy how each batch of shells comes out a different shade.  Beautiful stuff.  I'm still waiting on some whiskeys so I have a light pair to mix in with the no 8s

[louisbosco]

New laces on my Indy's. I'm digging the contrast of the blue.

my thoughts as well…those socks are pretty perfect when rocking with boots

Just wondering how do you guys keep shell cordovan crease free and looking so shiny. Does using shoe tree help in preventing the creases from setting in?

I know creases will appear on all leather shoes with more usage but for dressier shoes, I prefer to keep them looking spanking new.

[Finn666]

talking about creases…is there a way to remove them or make them less pronounced?
would be interesting to know. thanks!
