I went to see Jim for my first pair of Alden. My wife had gifted me a pair for my first Father’s Day. When we walked in (my whole family including a 9 month old), we were treated like VIPs. Jim went above and beyond to help me find 2 pair that were perfect for me. I also cannot express how kind he was to my family while we were there. Jim will be my go to for any other Alden and I have already recommended him to many people. What a great experience!

I came in looking for some shoes that would pair well with some shoes, and with the intent to purchase if it was within my means at that moment. From the moment I stepped in, I was made to feel like a VIP. Jim was very curteous, treated me with the utmost respect, and was thoroughh in his questions to ensure he understood my needs. Amazing service. I will definitely return to purchase a pair of beautiful loafers that Jim pointed out to me.

Great guys. Great selection of higher end menswear, including their own special makeups of Alden shoes.This is the kind of place you wish you had in your own state.

The best men’s shop I have ever visited. It is hard to really pin point the individual qualities that make Ealdwine worthy of that title as they simply do it all so incredibly well. The selection of Alden shoes and boots, the exclusive make-ups, the outstanding brands and variety of clothing are all important and all top tier.The best aspect however is certainly the service. Jim and Matt are next level, which is why you see so many reviews echoing their names and those sentiments. They legitimately want each and every experience to be a great one, and it starts from the moment you walk in until you leave - with or without making a purchase. You are treated far more as a guest than a customer regardless of how much you spend, and the vibe of the store is so fun and cool it’s hard to not want to spend time looking around.Great and interesting selection, elite service, and a cool location really make this store a must re-visit for me and has me thoroughly looking forward to my future visits!

Exemplary customer service that I have never experienced before from not just all the other Alden dealers but from any small business. Matt and Jim are super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. They go out of their way to make your buying experience perfect!

I decided to invest in Alden shoes. Initially, I reached out to a very well known online Alden retailer. My first question was answered with what seemed like a modicum of effort. My follow up questions were never answered. Then, I reached out to Jim at Ealdwine. He answered ALL of my questions, even though I know he has probably answered the same ones 3 million times. My first pair of boots didnt fit. A new pair was sent over ASAP. They even helped me when I screwed up the shipping address for my shoes. If you are going to make an investment in a pair of shoes you hope will last two decades or more, Ealdwine provides the service commensurate with that kind of purchase.

I have made several online purchases from Ealdwine. Their staff was very accommodating and helpful. They not only sell gentlemens’ clothes, but are gentlemen themselves. They meet and exceed the level of service anyone would expect when buying a luxury item. Can’t recommend enough!

Matt and Jim provide excellent products and superb customer service. I recommend Ealdwine to any gentlemen looking for a touch of class for their wardrobe. Their selection of Alden shoes is outstanding as well.

I expected more from a high end shop. The person attending was talking to a customer. We walked over to them, and he did not even make eye contact let alone pause to welcome us. I was looking for a modern sports jacket, but the styles were for older clientele than me. Otherwise a neat space in an interesting location downtown with a worthy mission statement.

Just left this great shop. Jim gave me some collar stays as I forgot to pack mine for a conference I am attending at the convention center.Thanks for the assistance. Great selection to chose from.

Simply the best. Whether you’re experienced or a first time buyer, the owners are always friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. I plan on returning.

World-class, concierge experience! My husband went in to have a bespoke suit fixed from another local tailor, not only did Jim and his team do WONDERS but he loved their bespoke options so much he bought another suit. The inviting atmosphere, mixed with a chic interior and inviting service has us sold. Were beyond happy to have found Jim and his team.

Jim and Matt are fantastic! I have sincerely enjoyed my time and experience with them not only in store, but communicating through text and phone as well. They have been extremely responsive to helping me find what Im looking for and helping me with fit issues. If youre in the Raleigh area, it is absolutely worth the time to stop by and relax while chatting shoes, watches, knives, leather, and bourbon. Theres something to be said for having a local dealer that knows what youre interested in and can help you find that perfect fit and design. These guys are the ticket and I always stop by when passing through town.

Highly recommended for any gentleman looking for quality clothing, shoes and accessories. Matt and Jim go above and beyond in order to provide only the best products and service for their customers. As soon as you walk through the doors of Ealdwine, you definitely feel welcomed and as if you were a long time friend.

The place to go for high end mens fashion clothing & accessories. The establishment is top-notch, classy and sophisticated. It shows that the owners have put a lot of thought into their space, high quality products (Ive never felt a nicer shirt!) and location (right by the Raleigh amphitheater and convention center. Check them out!

Matt and Jim are doing an outstanding job with Ealdwine. They have a phenomenal selection of products, from Alden shoes and Frank Clegg bags to Naked and Famous denim, and more. I visited a few weeks ago and was extremely impressed with their knowledge and their welcoming attitude. I wish I lived in Raleigh so I could visit more often. Highly recommend stopping in.

Jim is both helpful and a subject matter expert on the products that he sells. Ealdwine has earned my Alden business.

Had an excellent experience here. After being greeted by the two owners, I was offered a drink, shown around the store, and left with a business card containing the owners own contact info. I will be returning!

If I could give 10 stars I would.-Ealdwine is the perfect gentlemens shop! They have an immaculate variation of Alden shoes, fine mens clothing, jewelry and more! I purchased a beautiful pair of Mocha Suede Single Monk straps, a few shirts, a belt and a pair of CHUP socks that catch the eyes as soon as you enter Ealdwine! I also picked up an incredible pair of Naked and Famous black/ grey denim. Ealdwine gives you an old fashioned feeling that you are truly an old friend. To find a store with people that care such as Matt and Jim is a real score for Raleigh and the community. I will be shopping here for many times to come, I know others will too!

I’ve known these two gentlemen for a few months now and have been eagerly awaiting the opening of Ealdwine so I could have a one stop shop for all things high-end men’s clothing, shoes and accessories. My first purchase was the Ealdwine Horween shell cordovan belt, made in the USA! It’s an amazing piece, and top quality from the stitching to the exquisite shell cordovan. But more important for me, is the commitment and passion these two have for customer service and what they do. Within hours of ordering I received my tracking number, and less than 2 days later, the belt showed up in beautiful packaging and presentment. Top to bottom, these guys are doing things right and I look forward to continuing this relationship as their products, and service continue to far exceed what anyone could imagine!

World class service and customer focused! I ordered a new belt from Ealdwine and it was shipped immediately via priority mail and arrived at my house two days later. Matt and Jim are both great, standup gentlemen who have a passion for their customers and it shows. They’re highly recommended!!

High quality products and top notch customer service. Jim went above and beyond to ensure I got exactly what I needed. Thanks!

Incredible customer service. I ordered a beautiful Frank Clegg bag from them and it arrived two days later, perfectly package and even including a hand written thank you note! I wish there were more stores like this. Highly recommended.

Matt was very knowledgeable about Alden and was patient with me in working through all the available choices. I highly recommend Ealdwine!

Great products and even better customer service. This is a top notch store for fine men’s wear.

These fellas keenly understand classic style and have incredible taste.

Ealdwine has a great selection and exemplary customer service. What a retail experience should be!
