Edward Green Appreciation: Pictures, Info, and Where to Buy
There's a spoilered series of pics I posted somewhere in the thread about 18 months ago where I showed all the boots and shoes I owned at the time. I've since slimmed the collection down significantly and actually wear trainers a lot of the time now. I'll try and get a veldt pic up at the...- CTBrummie

Edward Green Appreciation: Pictures, Info, and Where to Buy
Agree. I'm going to downsize by Galway collection soon for the exact same reason. Nice to have the choice, but with also having veldt models from C&J, Cheaney and Lotus I've got too many pairs of similar-purpose boots...- CTBrummie

Was it an eagle-eyed member off here who picked these up? Stunning condition, but the zug used by EG back in the day never even seemed to crease...- CTBrummie

Crockett & Jones MTO Central
They dont recommend shell for any kind of boot or show which is destined for much outdoor use at all. And you're right about the leather bruising due to the way the uppers are turned out to be stitched to the missile. That particular convo was about whisky shell in particular. They will...- CTBrummie

I might pop by for a cuppa today if I've got time. No interest in the sale though.- CTBrummie

Check first whether it's actually nubuck or rough-out as they've previously referred to that leather as the latter. No idea about nubuck, but some people treat rough-out with Sno-seal or dubbin of some other form. I haven't bothered with my rough-out Snowdons as I like the lighter shades of...- CTBrummie

So those would probably fit you? And yeah, same construction as an original 64 last Galway.- CTBrummie

Nice, Farhad! These veldts mahogany country calf or something else? Similar to my H&H Galway colour, which I think is too brown to be rosewood. Would have been nicer a full size down...- CTBrummie

Only looked up halfway through it just now on the evening news, but looks like the Beeb filmed at the C&J factory today to get some reaction to the Chancellor's Autumn Statement... Nothing to add, but plenty of nice things on show!- CTBrummie

** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)
The 'moustache' shape first appeared, as far as I know, on the Lotus veldt derby shoes and not their boots - the original Lotus veldt boot was actually an apron toe derby boot and their later, classic veldt boot had a straight line instead of that moustache design. Lotus held the patent to...- CTBrummie

** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)
I've waded through marshes in veldt boots and had no issue. The only caveat I'd have is that all modern veldt boots only have half-bellows tongues which limits the depth to which your feet can be submerged - water can seep around the sides of the tongue if it splashes around. Older models...- CTBrummie

I tried on one of the Kegler models currently stocked by Size? yesterday and wasn't too impressed with the quality of the leather. Maybe it was a bad pair... The ones you linked look interesting though...- CTBrummie
