The color Mahogany is an exclusive make-up collaboration between Alden and J.Crew. It is no longer available. However, you may get a similar pair in color dark brown. See retail web link herein: https://www.theshoemart.com/alden-mens-97720-long-wing-all-weather-walker-dark-brown-smooth-calfskin/ I have the original box and dust bag. I really like Horween Chromexcel leather in Mahogany, a rare color in chromexcel. I was told that there are at least 89 separate processes taking 28 working days to make chromexcel leather. Over the years, as I buffed them, its original Mahogany color developed an extremely rich patina, with brighter, burnished tones of red, as seen in the pictures attached. It is the best feature I like about Chromexcel leather. Because there are much oils, greases, and waxes already saturated in the chromexcel leather during the manufacturing process, regular buffing will bring richer mahogany color out of chromexcel leather and makes it shinier as time goes on. It is called ”All-weather walker” or ”Walkabout” because of its plantation crepe sole, a combination of crepe rubber and leather tip, which is the most comfortable and versatile sole you can get for a shoe. It is quiet, well-insulated, durable and weather proof. You may send this pair to Alden factory for a resole - Alden will replace with a brand new crepe sole for a fee. The shoes can be resoled again and again—so they'll last a lifetime. Little maintenance is required. No shoe care products are needed. Clean with a damp cloth and brush them with a horsehair brush. They shine like brand new again. Please be aware that Alden Barrie last runs 1/2 size larger than your true size. I recommend ordering a half-size smaller than what you would normally wear. D stands for medium width.

It pains me to get go this pair of favorite Alden, an exclusive collaboration between Alden and J.Crew. I have the original box and dust bag. I really like Horween Chromexcel leather in Mahogany, a rare color in chromexcel. There are at least 89 separate processes taking 28 working days to make chromexcel leather. I put a bit too much of Alden neutral color paste wax on them, hence you see a lighter version of its original Mahogany color. Alden factory techincians told me that, as I continue buffing them out on a regular basis, no more wax (or any shoe care product) is ever needed, because there are much oils, greases, and waxes already saturated in the chromexcel. As the wax wears off, buffing will bring richer mahogany color out of chromexcel leather and makes it shinier. Over time, it has the potential to develop an extremely rich patina, with brighter, burnished tones of red. Little maintenance is required. No shoe care products are needed. Clean with a damp cloth and brush them with a horsehair brush. They shine like brand new again. I also like the plantation crepe sole: I walked on all types of terrain and in all kinds of weather condition. It is a more versatile outsoles than leather sole. My feet never got tired. The style is called “Walk About” for a good reason. Since it is made of Goodyear welt, you may send them back to Alden factory to be resoled again and again—so they'll last a lifetime.
