#kingwingday

For those of you not in the #menswear arena, June 1 is #kingwingday in memory of one of the internet’s great examples of gentlemen-like behavior, and the staunchest supporter of @aldenshoeco products. We lost him a few years ago but remember him every June 1 by posting a variant of his favorite model, Aldens 975 shell cordovan LWB. Here are my 9750s, empty like we are without him. He was a great example of how to live with appreciation, non judgmental, and a truly NICE human being. Something we can all take away from him today even though he’s not here. Uncle, nice shine on your LWB. Nephew. #alden #aldenarmy #aldenshellcordovan #ravelloshellcordovan #aldenravello #menswear #unclemac #styleforum #putthison #ptoman #westandtogether @mdubsonsf @styleforum @put.this.on (at LuxeSwap) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA6DArHH02s/?igshid=15bvcnn1488nm

This post is dedicated to Uncle Mac who was known as the inventor of the "Mac Method" of shell cordovan shoe care. He was also an Alden Shell cordovan and Argyle sock enthusiast. His favorite shoe was the Alden long wing in shell cordovan color #8. This is as close as I could get with what I personally own---Ralph Lauren "Marlow" shell cordovan shortwings and of course a pair of argyle socks. Rest easy Mac. #RIPUncleMac #Kingwingday #macmethod #alden #aldenarmy #shellcordovan #ralphlauren #marlow

If you've ever read about Alden on an online forum such as Ask Andy or @styleforum, you would have know MacArthur, the originator of the "mac method". It is with great sadness I share with you the loss of Uncle Mac on April 13th of this year. He was more than just an inspiration to forming and maintaining a collection, but one of my friends and someone I was honored to know. As @mdubsonsf has also posted, those of us in the #aldenarmy are dedicating June 1 to Uncle Mac. His favorite shoe was the #8 shell longwing, so post your LWBs or closest to it (preferably with Uncles argyle socks) on June 1 and hashtag #kingwingday. Uncle, you will be missed. -Nephew

In honor of Uncle Mac. May he Rest In Peace. #kingwingday #unclemac #alden #alden975 #shellcordovan #aldenarmy #aldenshoes (at LuxeSwap)
