This is one that we’ve wanted to make for a while and here it is, the Alden x Leffot “Gatsby” Longwing Blucher.
Spectator shoes date from the nineteenth century but reached the height of popularity during the 1920s and 1930s. Inspired by F. Scott Fitzgerald our Gatsby is crisp and clean in burnished tan and white calfskin.
An enduring classic with loads of style these pair perfectly with seersucker, linen and cotton. You’re guaranteed to turn plenty of heads as quite the dandy in a pair these spring.

Steven,
These are incredible! I am dying that they are on the barrie last — but that somehow seems to be the longwing last. And I LOVE the double leather sole on these spring beauties!
Wow, those look fantastic! But no way I could pull them off.
Speedmaster,
Thanks very much I’m glad you like them.
Hi Steven,
I’m in the UK, but a family friend will be in NYC in a couple of days time and I’m trying to see if he can pick up a pair of these for me. I bought a pair of Alden 990s from you about 18 months ago, in a size 10D; I assume I’d also need a 10D in the Gatsby since they’re built on the same last, but you could confirm that the sizing would be the same? Thanks very much.
Salv,
These are on the same last (Barrie) as your pair of 990 so you will wear the same size 10D.
