J FitzPatrick Appreciation Thread

Hi there - yeah, these were a MTO ordered at the London Super Trunk in April 2018.

At the time there was no brass buckle option from the factory they use, but they were happy for me to source my own and send them.

I sent the buckles to Simon (Justin obviously being in the US at the moment) and he arranged for them to be fitted at Tony's Heel Bar (where they used to get all toe taps, etc installed).

And yes - LPB last as I can't wear the NGT. I found this out the hard way as my first order was 2 x Corliss III a few years ago, and I sold them both after a week or so

It would be great if the members in here would agree upon a designed model for a GMTO. Maybe we would get a great deal like the current GMTO with 20% off. The price with 20% off is a pretty sweet deal. 6 pairs are needed for a GMTO.

I have Ballard III chukkas in 10.5UK and they fit great but I could NOT go one hair narrower in the waist and front, the heel is perfect. They are the NGT last which is a bit narrow, correct? They are also about as pointy as I personally like to see on my feet. I was considering the LPB last and wondered at the differences in fit versus NGT and what difference chukka versus oxford or derby made to the fit.

@winghus

This is just my experience, but I can't comfortably wear the NGT last at all. The LPB is certainly wider in the toe box and is my best last for Justin's shoes.

I have LPB in UK7, 7.5 and 8 as it does differ per model/style.

I suspect the chukka will be more generous, and suede should typically fit/feel larger than the equivalent in leather, but my recommendation would be speak to Justin or Simon - they have a very good feel for the differences between models even on the same last.

HTH.

Cheers,
Ant

Could I get a picture of the gmto teal yakima without filters/editing ? to see the natural colors.

Thanks

Anybody here down with the navy/black boots?

 

[CanadaCal]

I like them. I just find my boot use/need a bit more rugged these days.

Dear All,

Just as a heads up in case people think otherwise, I wanted to let everyone know that me and my team are no longer officially 'affiliate vendors' (as of a month or so now) which means I can no longer post on a commercial level i.e. answer questions about my shoes.

I didn't want anyone to think that I was not responding intentionally as that would never be the case. There are many other ways to get ahold of me for those that really need to do so.

Have a great weekend and thanks as always for the support

Justin

AW18 Collection PreSale

Dear All,

Just to let you all know about our exciting new AW18 collection which is on PreSale now. Please bear in mind these will not be discounted in Black Friday Sales so now is the time to order them.

We are particularly excited to have bought back the Snoqualmie 'City Hiker' Boot which has been reformed on the TMG last and with the City Rubber Sole. Wear the Snoqualmie for a much smarter look to accompany your work attire in Winter but also equally durable to handle the rough weather ahead.

The stock is due to arrive at the middle of November but we wanted to give you the option to pre-order early at a 10% discount and thus ensure your pair upon arrival of the stock.

*The PreSale shall end Monday morning, the 29th of October*

Dear Gents,

After a short hiatus of not being affiliates, we are now back and ready to answer any questions one might have for us.

For those that have yet to notice, we have a few new things going on:

1. We have a US dedicated website and showroom in NYC. We now ship from NYC to all US orders (exception sneakers, that can be bought off of the US website but ship from London). Our showroom is located at 14 Christopher st. Suite 1., shared with J.Mueser Bespoke (his showroom not the little shop). This is 10 steps from Leffot but on the 3rd floor of a beautiful period building.

The US site is: www.us.jfitzpatrickfootwear.com --- prices are now in USD and sizing in US sizing (one different from UK, i.e. UK8 is US9)

2. We are currently running a PreSale for 10% discount on A/W stuff which you might have noticed in the post above by my colleague Simon. We have some interesting new things here so check it out. These won't go down on Black Friday so now is your time to get a discount should you like something.

3. After a huge ordeal with the sneaker launch and issues with production, we have finally launched our sneaker line and are very happy with what we finally have (albeit a bit late!). If you have yet to see, these you can find them at the link below

I hope that you all have been well and please do not hesitate to get in touch with me for any questions you might have

Posting some pics of my Alexander MTO from another engagement shoot.

Not a conservative choice but I do plan to wear these on my wedding day
