Restored | Alden Whiskey Wingtips








These turned out really well and I'm excited to see what they look like after a little bit of wearing in. The color is tremendously rich and much darker than before they left. I'm not for sure what the Alden team restored the cordovan with, but there is some sort of oil or treatment on them now darkening the previously light reddish tones. As played out as the factory tour is now, I still would have loved to see these get restored. Thanks Alden.

***The more I look at these images I'm wondering if they thought they were Revello instead of an older pair of Whiskeys... who knows, too late now. I dig the color, I have lighter Whiskeys for that look... and hopefully soon the Jcrew + Alden's in waxed calf... if they'd ever come in...

Head Porter Plus - Varsity Jacket




This is so cool, I've never owned any Head Porter clothing or accessories but this is vying for my first piece... simple, clean lines, great color, and can be dressed up with trousers and wingtips in the fall or laid back on a summer night with shorts and some lowtops...

your new resume...
