    Crockett & Jones for Ralph Lauren Cordovan (Marlow, Darlton, Gifford, Garran, Lindrick, McCallum, Rh

    Thanks, that's really cool to see those shoes all side by side.

    I had the opposite experience. Mine were delayed once (by a week) and then shipped later than the delayed date (by another week). I guess that even J. Crew doesn't have the magical ability to get Alden to deliver on time.

     I think the closest is the Boston. Harvard is unlined version of Boston. Neither are full strap, which the Marlow is.

    Those are beautiful boots! Aberdeen NST seems quite different to me from Plaza moc stitch. :) I just picked up the #8 versions of these boots and I'm sorely tempted to get the Plaza NST from J. Gilbert. Pretty much the only difference would be the "split" stitch, I think.

    Placed the order for these from Frans Boone on Tuesday and received them two days later. No customs charges--the box was marked as U.S. goods. No complaints here, only praise. Sorry about the indoor lighting, but I'm not usually home when the sun is out. :)

    Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

     i'd make the same recommendation if you like the natural welt, which I do. my first pair of trickers were the stock acorn stows, too. the brown painted sole edges and welt on my acorn stows never really grew on me. my other trickers have natural welts and my preference has always been to...

     You make me want to walk over to Citishoes on my lunch break. It's been done before, but I must resist.

    Epaulet x Carmina MTO

    Update and some new photos! Hey guys! Apologies for my tardiness here. Thanks again to everyone who preordered the the last batch of shoes that we received. It took a few days to sort through everything, but all invoices should be sent out and shoes/boots should be en-route to everyone who...

    Nice shoes, Be. I'm glad that ordering the second pair didn't end up being a waste of effort. Enjoy!

     Another vote for the Roy here. I agree that you can always find another pair of indy boots later.

    Crockett & Jones for Ralph Lauren Cordovan (Marlow, Darlton, Gifford, Garran, Lindrick, McCallum, Rh

    i did keep the smaller size, half a size down--same as my Barrie size. i like the shoes a lot. i can wear them to the office with work slacks and then wear them on the weekend with jeans. for a purely casual shoe, i like my shell LWBs better, but it's a great shoe in its own way.

    Crockett & Jones for Ralph Lauren Cordovan (Marlow, Darlton, Gifford, Garran, Lindrick, McCallum, Rh

    true, i know all about instant gratification! that's the reason why i ordered both sizes. i usually do my best to figure out my size and just order one shoe. but for the marlow, i saw that it was all over the place for different people so i got both sizes so i didn't have to deal with waiting...

    Crockett & Jones for Ralph Lauren Cordovan (Marlow, Darlton, Gifford, Garran, Lindrick, McCallum, Rh

    I know I said it before, but I suggested ordering and trying on both tts and a half size down because sizing is all over the place. It's not just about width of the shoe and having a snug fit. The damn sole is so freaking thick that if you're wrong about the length, the heel slip is massive...
