Interesting, it is a little worrying if you cannot find Portman on our website. I am looking at it now!   http://www.crockettandjones.com/Product/Portman-3-Darkbrown#.UTB_IDDJR8E

 

Which website are you looking on?

 

Here is some background info for you on PORTMAN... The original Portman was on the 337 last, Portman 2 was on the 350 last (the last was subsequently dropped from our entire range) Portman 3 is on 358 last which is currently run in London only

 

If any other version of Portman are available in store, it will be old stock and probably only available during sale periods.

 

I hope the above helps.

 

Crockett & Jones

I was at one of the C and J stores in London just now and one of the assistants kindly told me that the price would go up tomorrow so its best to buy shoes today. According to them its inflation increasing the price of leather. I can't remember exactly but cordovan will be around +£40, hand grade +£30, standard grade +£20... (I can't remember exactly so please don't quote me on this one). Just thought I should let you C and J fans know. Sorry if it was already known.
 

+1 i also found out that Barker and Gaziano & Girling had their price up as of today 1st  March. I still think it will not deter prospective shoe lovers from buying their prefered brand.

G&G increased their prices to what? 5k man it's getting hard out there for a shoe addict, alden, GG, who's next??

Perhaps the gentleman/gentlewoman from CJ can assist me with this. I recently inquired about getting the alex constructed to handgrade specifications, the price I was given with $1250. USD. I certainly understand and am willing to pay a premium for this service however I cannot fathom doubling the cost of the shoe. I really like the product and I'm not special ordering anything of of the ordinary, same last etc. The weymouth is the same shoe minus the brogue for $780.00 USD. I really had my heart set on a handgrade Alex.

A 5% raise...35-40 pounds.

BTW do c and j run a bit big in size? When I tried a size 6 today it felt like a size 7 for most of my other shoes.

Interest check: I have a pair of C&J polo brown suede belgrave's brand new in box for sale in size UK9.

 

With professional placed steeltips. Price will be 370GBP if there is interest I can make a picture. Shipping from Europe.

 

Please sent me a pm!

Post-winter Islays:

 

Still looking good, just wore mine today.

 

I like the blue laces by the way.

Mine are still in rotation for spring rainstorms.

Oh yeah... "I have Islays I don't need Galways..." One more time!

I have Islays, Galways due to be here this Monday. "One more time"!!

Ah see this is how the confusion began lol the guy posted pics of his boots I asked if that was the portmans I got the name confused I meant to ask if that was this: http://m.crockettandjones.com/Product/Cowdray-2-Darkbrown

Portmans are a totally diff thing it's the 1/2 boot or whatever they call it.

What was the boot posted? No one did actually confirm what it was, I just somehow managed to confuse the names. Sorry bout that.

The UK site I meant to say doesn't sell/show a real boot that is handgrade.

These ones...
