I wear a 10E(UK) or 11D(US) in C&J 348 and 341 last; 11.5 in AE Strands, 10.5/11 EG 888 last, 10E Lobb 8000 last and Carmina 10.5 Simpson last was too tight, which would be my size?
^^ nice.
now for the size question.
i'm a tweener in shoe sizes, I'm an 8.5D on the Alden Barrie, but 7.5UK in my UK sized shoes. i see Mike's size reference of Barrie 8.5 = Carmina 8.
anyone have any reference between the Rain and C&J 337 last?
I'm also interested in a comparison between a 337 fit and the Rain last. Anyone?

Nice and easy process; placed my preorder earlier this morning. Can't f'ing wait!!!
Chatted with Mike on Saturday about these austerity brogues...So awesome working with him and glad he is so amenable to putting together special orders for us.
My next goal is to get that winter calf/suede balmoral boot made that was posted a couple of pages ago. A beautiful boot!
^^ i'm already dreaming of navy blue austerity brogues. i die a little inside when i think of a pair of EG Beaulieus i had a few years ago and have since sold.
Mike, do you need to know on our order if we want the lasted trees or not?
Excellent! Order is in. These are going to be great.
I love the idea of the suede/calf boot. I like cordovan, but don't seem to be as excited about it as many here are.

I'm a UK 10.5 in C&J 337, and wear Carmina double monks in the Inca last in a UK 11. Just to confuse matters, I take a US11 in Alden's Barrie, and 11.5 in their narrower lasts (ie Plaza, Hampton, Leydon) - which is a little different to Epaulet's advice of size down 0.5 from the Barrie last, and 1 from narrower Alden's - but everyone's feet are different.
Am also UK 11 in G&G's TG73 and DG70, and UK 11 in EG's 82 last if that helps anyone.
All of the above are standard widths.
Have placed an order for these in a UK 11, as I understand the Rain last fits much the same as the Inca. Can't wait!

What's the deadline to pre-order? I amy have missed it in the thread.
Thanks
^^Thanks, I guess the deadline changed to this Friday-Epaulet's post said next Friday.

The deadline will be next Friday, Jan 20th. We already blocked out the leather with Carmina, so we'll be good to go, and we won't lose any time on production by keeping the window open until then.
And, I had a four hour meeting with Carmina today. I must have shot 200 photos - including comparison shots of every single last. I'll sift through all the photos next week and post up a bunch of things. I have great stuff to show!
Including shots of a brown lizard Chelsea boot. Who's down for that one?
