Re: Part of the Alden Club..

Thanx.. It's getting there.. I should have had most of it by now, but over spent, by a lot, on Christmas presents for my bubba boy; but, he does come first.. Trying to sell a few pieces of the other Collections, to get some more $$ together for it, though, also been raising $$, and spending $$, on m...

Re: Part of the Alden Club..

Those look like the first pair I ever owned. Those are great boots. :M: :tup: So, did they fit? :-k They look pretty #### good.. Unfortunately, they don't fit.. They are pretty big in length.. They're size 11, where I'm usually about a 9.5.. But they are tight in the width.. I've got a pretty wide ...

I'm finally part of the Alden Club.. I was looking for some "close enough" boots, but decided to bite the bullet on a pair of Aldens.. I just won an auction on eBay earlier this morning, which I won for $300.. Don't know if it was a member from here, but I can't wait to have them in hand.....

McFly, What was your actual wait time for this? I placed my order on June 3rd.. Dusty informed me that there was a list for him to get through, that he had one more spot left for a pre-Christmas whip this year.. I was surprised when he contacted me saying he managed to get way ahead on his whip ord...

I haven't seen many versions of an Indy whip in person, just online pics, but this is definitely worth every cent.. I was going to look at a DM version, but then he retired, so thought I'd look for a cheaper good quality whip, as $$ is very tight these days.. So glad I found Dusty's version, and wou...

That's a beautiful whip. I love what Dusty is able to do with leather. You gonna go out and crack that guy? Haven't given it a work out yet, but I gave it a crack inside the apartment, which scared the #### out of my son.. He said, "That sound like gun, Daddy.." :lol: I haven't cracked a ...
