Alden won't put brass eyelets on color 8 shell because of the color bleed/transfer leads to a high defect rate: fascinating. I've long wondered about this. Also interesting about not placing a natural sole with black shell because of the color transfer. that's why I've gone so long without acquiring black shell was because I didn't want the matching black sole!! Very enlightening talk gentlemen
Loving all the "Let's Buy Boots" videos Phil! You're also REALLY REALLY making me want to get into a pair of Alden boots! Still might have to wait till I can get back to the US to get reasonably sized
RIP Jim, you will be missed.
Today was a very sad day
