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

And congratulations again on the promotion, by the way.

@madmonday:

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.

Unionmade Laguna Chukka (6 eyelets on Trubalance last).

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.

How old are those?  I'm curious how long those plantation crepe soles last, and you clearly scraped every last mile out of them before the resole.  I admire that.
