Anyone has experience buying Sid Mashburn's double monks?

I am also looking to buy it in Singapore. I've seen it in several online stores, but super ex.

Kevin Seah at Kiliney Road, but not likely cheaper than from overseas source. One way is to buy directly from Alden in the US or a retailer like Leathersoul. Brook Brothers in the US also carry quite a few Alden-made shoes, with BB's branding.

Didn't know Kevin Seah have. The Brook Brothers in SG have or not ah? The last time I went down at Knightbridge one I didn't notice any.

Im particularly interested in the Wing Tips. Do u guys tink thats Alden's most iconic shoe?

Pre-order only, I believe, at Kevin Seah. I owned a pair of suede long wing from BB made by Alden. Shipping from BB is US$49.99 which is ok considering that you can get a discount of up to 30-40% off the shoes during a sale. Next sale will be soon, I think.

BB has a similar shoe in black or dark brown under its Peal & CO collection. Should be made by Alden.

Just got myself a Rowland brothers shoe at Tangs. Currently 30% off. Love the look. Not much content about this brand online. Any comments on that shoe?

I only know its made in italy and i hope it is good and lasting.

Hey guys, just tailored a suit at Dylan & Son (comes highly recommended, nice chap!) so I'm looking at a pair of shoes to go along with it.

Probably a black pair of black Oxford shoes? Nothing too over the top in terms of looks.

Any ideas for a virgin? Was looking around and Loake seems decent except that the lower priced ones have "corrected grain leather"?

And should the shoes be shiny or slightly matte?
