    The magnet suede ones? I have them, and I probably wouldn't get them again. I liked them at first, but the color of them just doesn't go with literally anything I own.

    From what the guys at Woodlore implied, cedar wood is starting to become expensive, and only getting more expensive as the supply dwindles. A lot of the cedar farms they traditionally used have stopped bothering with cedar since it can't be logged with much automation, and there just isn't a ton...

    I only know of one style, and it is either a special makeup or this event or a new product they are going to release later this year. I would assume the usual suspects will be included as well, though.

    It has been officially teased on the Facebook group, so I’ll share it. Natural hatch grain (ballsack) shell cordovan will be one of the new materials for the trunk show this year. And to boot… the show is coming in July this year.

    Not even sure what these are. The look like Achesons, but there is no label on the insole and there is a dovetail heel. But you can’t really say anything about it for $95.

    No idea lol. There were a few scuffs and creases on them, but they have been sitting there for a few years at this point.

    I won’t entirely spill the beans, but if you like hatch grain or marbled shell, you may want to start budgeting for at least two pairs. In other news. Here is the pair of bourbon Delrays I purchased at the Shoebank. I really like this color.

    I think myself and @polojock615 were the only ones that went. As for the news/announcements... There really wasn't anything of note to share. We got to see some of the Randolph 2.0 (Randolph on 2016 last) in both colors of museum calf. We also got to see the two exclusive shell colors and a new...

    From their website: "Based on full-grown bull necks this material receives its strong grain pattern by an intentional change in PH value of the tanning solvent during the tanning process. The fibres under the grain of the leather are curling up like a woollen pullover which has been washed too...

    You just wake up and put them on with no regard to the rest of your outfit. Honestly, I get more compliments on the stupid stuff that I own than anything else. It’s eye catching and kinda “ugly”, but people do notice that it is quality, even if it isn’t tasteful.

    Ever seen “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids?” As it turns out, tons of leathers are shrunk during the tanning process to change the structure and rigidity of the leather.

    They are a MTO pair of Zonkey Boot ZB238 model NST boots in purple shrunken bull leather with a Vibram Eaton sole on the Classic last. Made with a brown edge and a Norvegese welt.

    The trip back to the AE factory was great, and the Horween tannery tour was also excellent. We learned a lot about the process of all kinds of leathers, including shell. It sounds like if we want shell prices to go back down, we are going to need to start eating more horse meat. Basically all of...

    These showed up on my porch with no warning. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. NST boots on the Classic last 7.5H in purple shrunken bull.

    I would have to ask the event organizer if there is more room. The tour is at 1pm this Friday in Chicago. I can ask if you are 100% committed to going, but understand that it may be too late to add more people.

    That's true, but I can also just wear any of the other 15 pairs of shell I own or whatever. I am super excited about going to the PatP event this year. There's a Horween factory tour, a Woodlore factory tour, and obviously the AE tour.
