looking good. . . . you've lost weight?

Pants look a touch long, Chief; is that regulation length?

And congratulations again on the promotion, by the way.

Ha! I think I found some

Thanks Chris Yeah, a touch long. Ugh. There were 80 of us that got fitted in one day, and there are a couple things that are a little off. It didn't help that the photographer was adjusting the break to look a certain way in the picture. Time to get hemmed!!!

@seawolf - Looking good sir!  Plain toe black shell is truly a classic footwear.

Thanks! And the Barrie last is so perfect for my feet. I know it's not for everyone, but it's my favorite last for sure.

Finn: I tried once but gave up in frustration. Need a wider lens

Also just took delivery of these Natty CXL Longwings. They're real beauts – there's nothing like opening an Alden box.

[tigerpac]

The hits keep on coming!

[seawolf]

Those longwings. oh man.

[louisbosco]

Here are my wrecked-to-shit worn-to-death Roy boots:

After a 2 month trip to Alden:

[veloaudio]

Will Alden re-last boots? As in change from a Tribalance last to a narrower last?

^those look great by the way

[madmonday]

I've heard it's even hard to get them to do basic changes like using a slightly different sole. A last change might be a big ask, but you never know.

Yeah, I was happy with the results. They're Color 8 Chromexcel, if I remember correctly. The color might be a little off because they've had a hard life and I have no idea how to take good pictures.
