For whatever reason, (they give you www.shoebank.com to now check for sizes) the link provided by Shoe Bank does not show the BB models.

However, if you call 262-284-7158, you can cop Brooks Fifth Ave's or Brooks Strands for $169 down from like $400. I just confirmed the price myself for a friend. Hop on it fellas

This is amazing and just makes too much sense for AE, makes it so much easier.

Speaking of the suit, first time rocking today:

 

[ksteezy]

Best suit I've ever seen you wear

 

[wj4]

Best suit I've ever seen you wear

Fan boy will fan boy. thanks though.

The sleeves can be half an inch longer. Chest can be a hair looser to get rid of the bowling and slight pinching.

For less than the msrp of Foamposites, I'm not complaining though

 

[mjkobe238]

Wis, suit looks nice. Did you have any alterations done or is that otr?

Any difference between the Brooks version and the regular AE version?

i think the the BB version has a toppied sole (thin rubber layer) on the bottom, correct?

Yes. And footbed is a tad more cushy. Honestly, BB versions sh*ts on regular AE IMO. Cop fellas

Any difference between the Brooks version and the regular AE version?

The two main differences are that the Brooks Brothers version has a poron cushioned footbed versus leather insole and they have a topy'ed sole.

Agreed, the BB version; although I only have 1, is noticeably a bit softer than than the AE versions.

Do the topy'ed soles wear quicker? Do the BB versions still have the cork footbed?

 

[pinoy732]

Topy sole is leather sole, with addtl rubber layer. Essentially it protects the leather and prolongs the need of a resole. (Once the rubber is gone, it still has an intact leather sole to wear down)

Yes, BB also has cork footbed.

I'm assuming the topy sole is for rain (not that I would ever wear my AEs in the rain). Good to know though, thanks for the help.

[crownedhead]

I understand the Dalton and Strands are on different lasts. Correct?

For anyone who has experience with both:

I wear a 9D in Daltons. Would a 9D in Strands be ok?
