These were my wife's introduction to C&J, but in burnished brown. I am now responsible for their care, as I am for all her footwear it seems.
Just joined this forum today, wanted to share my love of Crockett & Jones shoes. I have 14 pairs total. I will list images of 13 of them. The one that is missing is my favorite pair the monkton in burnished chestnut which unfortunately was involved in a Christmas day accident and is now having the life brought back to them by the guys at C&J in NYC.
well said my good sir@tifosi - I cannot recommend the SKYE2 enough. I love them!!! These boots in the dark brown cordovan are stunningly beautiful. From the minute I got them I have enjoyed wearing them and feeling the stiff cordovan leather break in around my feet. I've worn them through winter rain, slush, and snow and they have held up great. There should be no existential quandary as to whether these boots are too nice to be worn in poor weather. These boots are calling out to live this way, it is their desire to trudge through crap weather! They just need regular care and maintenance to keep the leather in top shape.
@hoit1981 - Just read through your thread on the MTO Harlech's. I'm frankly very disappointed that I didn't get to partake in it because I would definitely have been interested. I am dying to get my hands on a pair of Harlech's. Whiskey Cordovan was a great choice and I think it will add serious character. Cannot wait to see the results as they will certainly influence future MTO's that I will undertake with Crockett & Jones! You must be freaking out that they are arriving soon!
@niklasnordin - The Saville were my first pair of C&J monk's and though they certainly will not be my last they hold a very special place in my heart as they have been through hell and high water. From business days to aggressive partying evenings to adventures abroad these shoes have done it all. The 337 Last is much less aggressive (more subdued/less flashy) with a more rounded toe than the 348 Last (monkton/lowndes) which has strong sharp lines leading up to the toe. For this reason, I find them very practical for casual less dressy situations and also for work situations where I do not want to outwardly flaunt a shoe all the while inwardly boasting that these shoes are amazingly crafted and beautiful and that they make everyone else's ordinary black gucci horsebit loafers look like crap haha. There is something to be said about an understated shoe that is in fact extraordinary.
