Fall is in the air and wing tips are on my mind, apparently I’m not alone. There’s been a sudden spike in the number of clients looking for classic full brogues with double soles. I wear a couple of these models; I find them to be both versatile and classic. Here’s the line up.
Church’s Grafton Sandalwood Polished Binder, 173 Last
Church’s Grafton R Brown Nevada Calf, Dainite Soles, 173 Last
Alden Longwing Color 8 Shell Cordovan, Barrie Last
Church’s Grafton Black Polished Binder, 173 Last
FYI: We are considering a longwing make up for spring 2010. Tan suede, Barrie last on single flex welt soles with natural edges. Feedback welcome…

Longwing makes me be crazy. So~~~~~ lovely shoes~.
Do you remember me? I’ve been Leffot in July and bought SEBAGO green boatshoe. I’m Korean. You showed me your blog and some good shoes that you will buy. When I visit in NY again, I go to Leffot for seeing and buying good shoes~.
Hi Gony,
Yes of course I remember you. I love the long wings too in fact I am wearing my color 8 pair today. I hope to see you in NY next time. By the way if you can’t wait we ship to Korea LOL…

Steven:
Tan suede Alden long wings (Barrie last) would be awesome. I was looking for this exact shoe this past Spring but it was nowhere to be found. Sign me up for a paid prearrival/special order if you do this (size 9D).

Hey steven,
Long time i havent been on the blog. Actually, long time I havent been to NYC. Let me first start by saying, your Corthay post was amazing. Moreover, the pictures you posted about the EG trunk shoe was incredible, I just cant keep my eyes off the southwold in dark brown, with grain leather around the eyeled.
anywayz, full brogues are in trend this fall and thats amazing…may i suggest you something?!?!?…a nice brogue in tan suede would be amazing…

Where have you been? Thanks for the comment I’m considering a beige suede Alden longwing for spring. To late for fall.
Hope you come to NYC soon.

Hey Chris,
Great to hear from you if we get more positive feedback we’ll place a spring order. I’ll keep you posted.
Steven
Wow, each pair more beautiful than the last. And I LOVE the color of that first pair!

Can you dig it? I knew that you could
Thanks

Love the longwings for fall.
Taking nothing away from the Church’s which are nice-looking shoes, the Alden’s lines are so much cleaner.
Great shoes

So true I wore my color 8 longwings today. Classic American style in classic fall colors. It doesn’t get much better.

I see you liked my idea for tan suede….
AMAZING
If you could get the Alden longwing in Whiskey — a color Alden does in Horween shell cordovan — I’ll be buying. And I surmise there’d be many other buyers too. I’m partial to light brown, especially a distinctive light brown, and I know I’m not alone. Could Alden do this for Leffot?

Great minds think alike.
Thanks

Count me in for a tan suede long wing. Is it possible to have a double flex welt?
Any updates on the Alden suede longwings with possible double flex welt – I am very interested.
