Thanks for the edification - I noticed the label was different, but didn't know they were made by C&J. Assume the quality has gone up since Lobb took them in-house? How would you describe the quality differential?

I've never actually handled a C&J-era Lobb. I just know the C&J writing. I assume they are good quality. I don't know how it compares to the current stuff.

They were pretty damned well worn, but someone bought them for $255. I noticed that they had an "s" stamp on the inside of the shoes - I assume that indicates that they were originally classed as subs. So, someone paid $255 (plus shipping) for a very well-worn pair of subs that were originally made by C&J... when they probably could have got a brand new, first quality pair of C&J double monks for under $400 with shipping included.
