Tell her that they will last five times longer than most shoes so you are actually saving money.

Yes and yes. Take the pants to where they're good on you and make sure there is 3-4 inches of extra material. Fold underneath and stitch at the 3" mark with the pants 1" higher in the front than in the back. It's a military hem. There are several spots in all 3 films which show this. Look...

Sorry to hear that they don't fit you. I had to drop a whole shoe size as well when I purchased Aldens. Good luck with your sale and I hope your next pair fit perfectly.

I wore mine to work and they were great. I do not have to perform any physical labor so I don't know how they would hold up under those conditions, but I am on my feet for a good part of the day and I was vey comfortable. Also, they look great with chinos and khakis, which is what I mostly wear them...

Well, if you happen to get the boot and do not like the fit, the Alden Shop is very good about returns, just make sure you do not wear them outside or weather them.:) When I first ordered mine, I ordered a half size down. Typically, I wear a size 10 shoe (certain brands I even wear a 10.5), so I ord...

My Aldens are probably the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I need to ship them back to Alden to have maintenance performed, so in the meantime, I may have to buy another pair. I found that they fit a half-size big as well, but I would still suggest you get measured by a professional. Person...

Beautiful!:) I am going to have to break down and get one of these. Congrats.

Right, sorry to take it off-topic.

So, has anyone heard anything new on this? I would definitely be interested in pants and shirts.

Nice jacket! My predistressed cowhide needed the Pecard's dressing so that it would look darker. From what I can tell in the photos, it looks like Wested is not distressing them as much as they used to. Mine was a very light color when I received it and the Pecard's worked great in darkening it up a...

It's the FX (or at least that's what the box says...not sure what an LE is...perhaps just the handle mounted on a stand?)...I might be interested in your local supplier when MR starts doing Indy replicas. Thanks for the tidbit. As stated in the above post, the LE stands for limited edition. The LE ...

You definitely should. They usually have people from Master Replicas selling some of their newer items. Prices ain't too bad. I bought a $150 lightsaber for $100 (Anakin one that came out maybe 1.5 years ago). Was that an LE or an FX version? If it was an LE, that was a great deal. If you are inter...

Congrats on the house.:) Sure gives a lot more room to display props. Well, the nailpolish remover worked well. It is primarily acetone, IIRC. Go ahead and try your hand at distressing. I'm sure you'll do a great job. Yes, I have been primarily collecting SW stuff. It can get quite expensive, but it...

ITG, Thanks for the welcome. I try not to be a stranger, but family and real world commitments tend to keep me quite busy. Also, over the past few years, I have been concentrating more on SW props. I did see you from a distance at the post office on Green Oaks around Christmas. The line was about 3/...

For sure!:) I thought it made a quite catchy screen name.

I would love to see Noel Howard make a comeback. I own his Raiders' shirt and pants and would love to buy another set. If anyone hears anything new, please let me know.

My Aldens look great with jeans. IMO, the scuffed boots look better with jeans because most jeans are designed to look worn themselves.
