    THE 2024 ALLEN EDMONDS (AE) APPRECIATION THREAD

    I recently picked up a pair of Strands in olive. I’m looking for a matching belt. I don’t see one on the AE website. Anyone know of another brand of belt that comes close to matching AE olive (or a source for an AE olive belt)?

    What's the latest thinking on affordable dress socks?

    If you’re willing to go to $20, you can get deals on bundles/assortments from either Corgi or Mes Chaussettes Rouge. Personally, I find both of those sock brands worth the price. The quality and comfort are outstanding.

    The 2023 Allen Edmonds (AE) Appreciation Thread

    Found a pair of Shelton 8221 burgundy/black at a thrift store. These are the rare calf leather saddles. They’re 11D. If anyone here has interest I’ll put them in the classifieds rather than eBay.

    Spectator Shoes

    I absolutely second the Church’s white buck wingtip. I have a pair and alternate those along with the blue/white McAllisters with seersucker suits.

    Spectator Shoes

    I have several spectators including the C&J Gerrard (light brown) and Cheaney Edwin (tan) both with off-white canvass insets. I’ve found that they are the ones I reach for the most — particularly with linen suits/pants. I was originally drawn to black and white, so I got the AE Broadstreet. I...

    ALLEN EDMONDS APPRECIATION THREAD EDITION 2O22

    I picked up a pair (along with a pair of Birminghams) at auction about a nine months ago. From what I’ve read, they’re made on the 0 last which is no longer in production. The have a more tapered fit than most of my other AEs but not tight— more like an English shoe fit. I burnished the toe to...

    MoneyWellSpent's Southern Trad Thread

    Given it’s a Christmas party, the easy way out may be colored laces to dress down the shoe — red or green, perhaps.

    What is Loro Piana “Apoteosi” Cashmere?

    I recently pick up a vintage cashmere db suit from the now defunct Perry’s of Toronto. It feel unbelievable to the hand. The label states it’s Loro Piana “Apoteosi”?
