Alden A764 Color 8 Shell Cordovan Wing Tip Bal

Alden Brooks Brothers A764 Color 8 Shell Cordovan Wingtip Balmoral 11D/B USA Beautiful vintage Alden for Brooks Brothers A764 wingtip balmoral, crafted in genuine Color 8 shell cordovan and made in the USA. This classic full-brogue Oxford features Alden's M75 last, an elegant medallion toe, traditional closed lacing and extensive brogue detailing. The lining is marked with both Alden model A764 and Brooks Brothers model 1350, identifying this classic Brooks Brothers/Alden collaboration. The shell cordovan has been carefully cleaned, stripped of accumulated old finish, conditioned and polished, revealing considerably more of the rich burgundy, oxblood and reddish-brown variation characteristic of well-aged Color 8 shell. Item Details Brand: Alden for Brooks Brothers Alden Model: A764 Brooks Brothers Model: 1350 Style: Wingtip Balmoral / Full-Brogue Oxford Leather: Genuine Shell Cordovan Color: Color 8 / Burgundy Size: Men's 11 D/B Last: M75 Construction: Goodyear Welted Soles: Leather Made in USA Closed-lacing balmoral construction Full wingtip broguing with decorative toe medallion Leather lined Why Buyers Like This Model This is an especially appealing vintage Alden makeup combining Brooks Brothers styling, genuine Color 8 shell cordovan and Alden's M75 last. The traditional wingtip balmoral design is more formal and refined than Alden's better-known longwing bluchers, while the extensive broguing and medallion give the shoe unmistakable vintage character. Shell cordovan is prized for its durability, distinctive rolling rather than conventional fine creasing, and its ability to develop increasingly complex color and patina with age. This pair shows particularly attractive variation in its mature Color 8 finish. The dual A764 / 1350 markings also provide a nice piece of Alden and Brooks Brothers history for collectors of vintage American footwear. Fit Guidance Marked 11 D/B and made on Alden's M75 last.
