@Geo:

jacoavlu how do you find the fit and quality of the Billy Reid gear?

i kind of half tracked the site and some other links, but just never took the plunge . . . but his suiting looked nice, although shipping is outrageous to UK

Not gonna be much help here Geo, the only Billy Reid gear I have are some thick worsted wool socks - but they fit great and seem of high quality!

Not sure if already posted but I love these boots although doubt I could get away with the colour wearing them.

@jacoavlu:

^^ love those. I have the Indy boots in brown chromexcel as well as black cowhide with commando sole. I wish I'd have got my black boots in shell though, so nice.

For me, these are the ultimate: black shell tankers.

I have those in #8, my fave's !!!

Alden of Carmel - AF43
Black Shell Cordovan
TruBalance Last
Commando Sole…
...made for stompin....

Didn't you just sell some black shell boots ?
Those look new !

[arrow]

Hey TT… yes, I sold the Pitt boots to pick up the AF43.
Although not as refined and "gentlemanly" as the Pitt Boots, the AF43 offers a better fit for me.

Plus... Commando sole is super comfy.

But I just loved those natural edges

my first foray into Alden suede…

Snuff/Rust Suede Flexwelt Chukka (UnionMade)

Next shoe purchase will be a pair of whiskey chukkas

Hm, does anyone know some good sellers within the EU, maybe with an online-shop?
My problem is that I´am a B/D width and all the sellers in Germany only carry C/E which is quiet annoying.

The shops in the USA carry BD but I´d prefer someone within the EU if I had the chance.

Thanks!

Bureau Belfast, Alden-of-Carmel maybe? They also have them in stock.

Haven't gotten that far yet, tons of research ahead!  Just won't be buying another Clarks Desert boot when my current pair wears out.

[PETEROCK1]

Those are very nice, arrow!

[arrow]

Thanks Pete… Although the suede is buttery soft, the shoe still provides ample ankle support.

It's like wearing a very expensive pair of slippers.
