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

    Thank you for the replies. I was expecting one full sized down for US to UK sizing for Crockett & Jones, but it's nice to have confirmation. So far all my C&J shoes have been RL (Marlow, Lindrick, McCallum) in US sizes.

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

    Good morning Gentlemen, Apologies for the boring sizing question but how would the UK Pembroke sizes correlate to the US sized Marlows? I wear at size 10D in both plain toe and wing tip Marlows. I wear a 9.5D in the Lindrick. What UK size Pembroke would correlate with the 10D US Marlow...

    The shell Marlows were previously $850, I'm pretty sure.

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

    Yes, I got the McCallums off eBay. Remarkably, several used pairs showed up on eBay over that last few weeks. First I bought a 9.5D pair - but they were way too tight - especially in the toes. I'd always assumed that I'd need to size 1/2 down. Luckily, the seller gave me a full refund due...

    Finally got a pair of McCallums to go with my Marlow PTBs and Lindricks, both of which I've had for a while. I needed to go TTS on both PTB and chukka but sized 1/2 down on the boots.

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

    Funny, I was somehow under the impression that PTB and wingtip were on different lasts. I have the PTB in 10D and it fits me fine, comfortable not too snug. And I have the Lindrick in 9.5D which fits about the same, not too snug although the vamp of the left boot is a little tight when I first...

    Whiskey Wednesday. I got these from Alden DC about a year and a half or two years ago.

    Those Rider LWB are pretty amazing! The almost look like vintage Hanovers. Are these from eBay?

    Actually the first model was in Camel suede, not Tan.

    It seems like about a year ago that I first saw the Barry crepe sole chukka in tan suede on the J Crew website. Those sold out quickly. Then a few months later they listed the same make up in Snuff suede. When they got down to just a few sizes they disappeared from the website too, although...

    It looks like the Shoe Mart's site has been updated. Now when you search or view a particular Alden style, it only shows models that are currently in stock.

    ^ And I'd love to have style #1684 in a size 10D myself. I have the monk strap in color 8. It's one of my favorite Alden shoes.

    According to my notes, the 1684 is whiskey shell cordovan. I'm attaching a photo that I saved a few years ago from the Alden Madison website.
