    BREAKING NEWS: Allen Edmonds Being Bought by Brentwood Associates

    BREAKING NEWS: Allen Edmonds Being Bought by Brentwood Associates

    Sorry, but I choose to believe the Horweens, who have been producing shell for over a century rather than some newly minted internet shoe expert who has just recently started collecting shoes.

    BREAKING NEWS: Allen Edmonds Being Bought by Brentwood Associates

    Horween say that they produce only one grade of shell and that any differences you may see from brand to brand is the result of the handy work of the maker.

    BREAKING NEWS: Allen Edmonds Being Bought by Brentwood Associates

    Don't you just hate it when you're proven wrong, with photos to boot. :mad: I know I do. :p As far as a quality comparision between the two: I've always thought Alden to be 'finished' better than AE but not by any great margin. Their pricepoints are close enough that they are probably...

    A Question About Small Cigars

    Lovely case! Sorry but I can't help with a cigar rec because I've never found any of that ilk worth smoking. I smoke the big fatties or nothing at all.

    True Classic Borsalino Fedora?

    That's rich! A fundamental rule of all things sartorial, that is inconvenient for you to abide by, is proclaimed to be silly.

    That jacket is probably still hanging in the wardrobe department at Pinewood.

    Care to elaborate?

    Ask a question, get an answer

    You can upload the photos to an image hosting site (photobucket, imageshack, etc...) and then copy and paste the code into your post.

    True Classic Borsalino Fedora?

    Brioni (clothing) and Ferragamo (shoes) have similarly designed logos. It may be an Italian thing.

    I sometimes wonder...

    That's the same thought I have when I see or meet these 'world stage' types. Midgets!

    True Classic Borsalino Fedora?

    These would be my choices from Borsalino as well. And Bencraft have the best prices.

    BREAKING NEWS: Allen Edmonds Being Bought by Brentwood Associates

    Not knowing the new owner's investment philosophy limits my ability to forecast any changes they may make to AE's operation but somehow I prefer them over any involvement with MW; which reminded me of the SYMS acquisition of Sulka, which did not turn out well for the venerable haberdasher.
