I bought my alden 405 about a year ago now and I am very pleased with them. I've worn them around the world and they still look pretty much new. They've been through snow in toronto, rain in Venice, the heat and sand of Athens and not to mention the cobbles of Paris and London. These boots are still...

Basil

Thanks for the clarification! Really looking forward to seeing more pics too.

Basil

i have the liquid and the thick cream. Both are great and really help condition and weather proof shoes and jackets.

You can also use it on wood! i used it to seal a small chair that i had. Looks like a put a coat of varnish on it.

Basil

Nice looking boots. I thought the natural indy boots have been available for a while now, is there anything that sets these apart from the boots offered on the shoe mart?

Basil

Howdy all. I've got a few questions that I hope fellow alden owners can help out with. Firstly I've noticed that my pinkie toe has started to strech out the leather. Has anyone else notice this happening to their boots? Should I be worried about the boots eventually wearing thin in that area? Also I...

Basil

It's the boots for me. Followed by the bag.

Basil

Nice!

I love the colour on them. Not a huge fan of the sole on them but who am I kidding id stil buy them lol.

Basil

I usually just use warm water. Sort of a in between best of both worlds.

From there I just swirl the brush on the soap in the bowl for a bit and then face lather. I haven't had any issues with lather and always get a good shave.

Basil

Cold Water?!?!?!? :shock: What kind of freak are you?!?!? :Dietrich: :rolling: I know, right? Funny thing is, the reason I shave with cold water is from "Good Morning, Vietnam". During one of the DJ's (not Cronauer) broadcasts he mentions to avoid razor burn, shave with cold water. Regard...

Basil

Welcome to the razor addiction. As you can see straight razors are my choice. I had over ten at one point. Now I've got the collection to three daily shavers. My razors in case anyone is interested. All three razors are by thiers issard 6/8 size. left to right the handle materials are giraffes bone,...

Basil

Lol it's a good thing you can't grab them through the monitor!

Although I've been wearing these a lot lately so you'd have to peel them off my feet.

Nice indy boots. They look so shiny! What did you put on them?

Basil

Come on! Indy shaves with a straight razor. He doesn't need to carry anything extra. Just a small leather strip to strop the razor. Or he could just use his jacket. As for the soap and brush, a small shave stick and brush are easy to carry and no bigger than a pill bottle. A small sample of what ind...

Basil

Thanks for the tip.

I would love to make this into post your indy boots thread.
I'd love to see them Alden or otherwise. I'd love to see how everyone has aged theirs or if they've let them just age naturally.

Basil

Beautiful work as always.

Basil

Oops pics didn't work. Lets try that again

Basil

So excited. Just picked up a pair of the Alden 403. These were the last boots in my size so I was very lucky. Now to just treat them with some Pecards and they are good to go. One question though. I have both the cream and dressing. Which would be better to use on the boots. Here's a pic of the beau...

Basil

That's a pretty big difference. I never knew it was that stiff.

I may just dye the knots of my Brandy strain whip and pretend its a crystal skull one.

Basil

Big news! Local store has some Indy boots! Now to see if I can swoop in and get a pair. If only it wasn't a holiday tomorrow, now to wait patiently until Tuesday morning!

Basil

Howdy all. I've been thinking about getting a crystal skull whip. I know everyone has good things to say about the jacka whips. But I was wondering if anyone has experience with the joe strain version or other makers. I like the look of the stiffer whip but not too sure if I want the jacka whip beca...

Basil

Haha yes buy his whips. And remember one is never enough!;)

Basil

Looks like a beauty. Enjoy!

Basil

Where does the whip go??

Basil

I'll check out j crew. We had one just open here in Toronto. I'll check it out when they bring in their winter stuff.

Basil

They didn't have my size at the store.

Any website recommendations for websites to order from?

Basil

I'm looking to buy the Indy boots. Most likely I'll have to order them online. Anyone have a good website they can recommend to buy them online?

Basil

That's joe for you fast professional service. And a great product! Post pics when you get it!:)

Basil

Howdy all. I'm on a trip in Montreal Canada and have been looking for stores that sell the Indy boot. So far I've only seen them in one store called Rooney but just my luck they don't have my size. I'm wondering if any other members who live in Canada might know of any other stores. My google-fu is ...

Basil

Both are from northern whip co. The lighter one was made by Joe Strain, while the other was made by his son Tyler.

Basil

It's been a beautiful week here in Toronto so I took the chance to go for some whip practice. I forgot to bring my camera with me but I'll take some action shots soon. Here are the two whips after some cleaning and getting them ready for some use this year. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/07/du2yta6...

Basil

This is a beautiful whip. I love the colouring after they get some good use.

Basil

I've got two from joe strain and they work great.

Basil

Looks great!

Randomly which wings jacket did you get? I've been meaning to pick one up but I just can't decide on which to get.

Basil

I never noticed that in the picture. The transition is not stiffer it must be the way the whip was laid out for the picture.

Basil

thank you!

The 12 foot i think will get some more cracking time this year. I still haven't fully broken it in ans its been almost two years since i got it.

The 7 foot was my first whip and was great to learn on. The plaiting isnt quite as tight as joes but still a wonderfull whip.

Basil

Howdy all! I just joined this forum and thought I would say hi. Like all of you I'm a big fan of Indy, what I like the most are his bullwhips! I have two whips from northern whip co that I'd like to show to you guys. First is a 7 ft whip made by joes son. I believe that this whip was among the first...

Basil

I know I'm several months past the prime of this thread but just wanted to say how amazing they both look.

After a few years work I bet they flow like butter. I love way the strain has aged. I hope mine can age like that.

Basil

Beautiful whip.

I have two joe strain whips and love them.

I tried to sell them last year. I don't know what I was thinking!

Basil

I've got two of joe strains whip holders. Work like a dream:)
