Seconded by the guys at Crockett & jones in NYC. Tom Ford was apparently not pleased.

Pics of the brown? I actually think the brown ones look much nicer. I'm not the biggest fan of boots, but these kind are such a beauty!

Ask them to ship Royal Mail as you are far less likely to be charged customs duties via the mail. Although, of course, there are never guarantees as to when you will, or won't be charged duties.
The mail order fulfillment department must not be so motivated.

Thanks for the tip... I'll get in touch with the Jermyn Street store and will report back.

Super nice. I actually think these looks much nicer. All your shoes are very nice polished and some of them seem brand new? Do you have time to wear them all :D?

Understand. Anyways love your collection and your taste for shoes is

What do you wear these boots with?  Business only or "smart" casual as well?  If you wear them casually, how do you wear them?

These came in today and they appear to be on the 341 last.  Can anyone comment on this last compared to other C&J lasts?  I really like this last.  The boots fit like a glove without being too snug.
