We are delighted to invite you to Trunk's first ever special order event with Alden. On Thursday the 19th of March, Alden's head of international sales, John Happ, will set up shop at Trunk to take orders from Alden's extensive stock catalogue.

John will be on hand to assist customers in choosing their perfect shoe – providing expert advice on Alden's range of bluchers, oxfords, boots, loafers and moccasins – and offering guidance in selecting the right leather and finding the correct size and width for a great fit.

The event will also mark the launch of the Alden Plain Toe Blucher in 'whiskey' shell cordovan leather. Sourced exclusively from the Horween tannery in Chicago, Whiskey cordovan is horsehide shell leather that has been tanned in a 'natural' light brown tone, in a process that takes a minimum of six months. This lighter tone shows up even the slightest imperfections, meaning only the most perfect, unblemished hides are used. As such, this is an extremely rare leather, and Trunk has in fact been on Alden's waiting list for over three years to secure this highly limited delivery.

Only 12 pairs have been produced, and they will be sold in-store only at Trunk.

For more information, or if you would like to make an appointment with John, RSVP to events@trunkclothiers.com with your preferred time.
