Use coupon code 06friend for 25% off the listed price.
I like how the sale card I got in the mail explicitly stated that cordovan shoes were excluded from the sale, yet it works just fine online. They obviously have some very bright people running their website.

However, I did buy the Singleton Burnished Loafer in brown for summer.

I like those! Do they run true to size?

Yeah, too bad they NEVER have my size

Who makes the Darltons? I may pick up a pair of loafers and need to know if they are true-to-size.

C&J. I'm not sure about about the loafers, but I know the wingtips run TTS, so I imagine it would be the same with the loafers.

I know the wingtip is the C&J Pembroke

With C&J I usually have to go down .5 of a size...

Loafers (tassel and penny) seem to be running a half size large, had to size down. Wingtips TTS.

On a side note, anybody see a plain toe blucher in their travels? Need those to complete my collection.

Not a fan of plain-toe blutchers. They just seem plain and clunky.

Well, I bought both the wingtips and the penny loafers in 11, I usually wear 11.5. I hope they work! (the wingtips were only available in 11). Hard to resist two pairs of cordovans for under $1,000.

Thanks for the tip - been waiting for a sale like this to pick up the wingtips.

The PTB is one style of shoe I do not own and for the price, would be hard to resist.

I have the PTB and the Wingtip versions. The PTB is easily the equal of the wingtip version. A great and versatile shoe.

Good call. i sized down half a size for the ptb, and wingtip. I must get the loafer to complete the trifecta! '3 goggles'

NAMOR · May 6, 2011

wow, only 2 sizes left for the Darlton Wingtip: 10.5 and 11.

To comment on a previous poster, the PTB, while it is a plain shoe, is great for cordo. Conversely, the PTB would look awful in black calfskin, imo. The beauty of the cordo really shines through since you dont have any medallions or broguing to complicate things. I love the contrast between the two pieces of leather when in full light.

No idea...I ordered my normal size and since shipping is free no loss if I have to return them.

True. I was looking for them but did not see them in the sale. Two pairs of cordovan shoes a day is kind of my shopping limit anyway.

Well, the loss is that they don't fit and they no longer have your size available. Has happened to me plenty of times. If I wanted my money, I wouln't buy the shoes.
