    Which will you choose???

    My bedroom is decorated in blue theme and I am ready to purchase bedding sets. I have chosen different colored bedding at Ellesilk.com, but don't know which one is best. I hope my bedroom will make me feel super relaxed after a busy day. If you were I, what will you choose? #1 #2 #3 or can...

    Ordered a bunch of C&J and quite dissapointed... am I missing something?

    Really? A shoe width 101 lesson? with wrong/incorrect/subjective materials? I think you largely underestimate how much regular posters in this forum know. Like most people on here you make too much of a fuss about lasts and think that if a certain size on a particulat last doesn't fit that you...

    Crockett & Jones 360 last

    Hi Guys, What's the experience or opinion of the 360 last? This "Milner " possibly takes on the label "fashion forward" in some quarters. [/IMG] [/IMG] I personally wear a "Maidwell" - an Adelaide with medallion toe and there is also this "Bramwell" [/IMG] You really can't have an opinion...

    Peal & Co. quality question

    Actually, Peal was a venerable bespoke cordwainer, much like John Lobb. They licensed the Peal name to Brooks for use in the States in 1953, if I remember correctly. Peal folded in 1965, I think, but Brooks retained the rights to the name. There is no "actual Peal factory," and there never was...

    Peal & Co. quality question

    1) Learn to use the quote function. 2) You are far too new to this forum to have such a high level of confidence in your posts. 3) I am taking bets as to how long it will be before you are banned. PM to place. That doesn't even make any sense. Being new on some blog just means that you don't...

    How good or bad is this shoe construction?

    Ok, so I had an old pair of shoes with a glued leather sole (no chance of resole), so I figured I'd deconstruct one and see what you guys thought Let me know how good or crappy you think it is, and take a guess at the brand. It's a cheap junk shoe.

    Restoring an old Swaine Adeney Brigg attache - Photos

    Second one. Of course, I just wanted to see what people here would say. I just looked it up in my dictionary which is 50 years old and that is the only correct pronunciation. But who knows. People in the US have been mispronouncing it for so long that sometimes the wrong pronunciation becomes...

    Ordered a bunch of C&J and quite dissapointed... am I missing something?

    A sheer generalization saying that UK 9.5E = US 10C show high level of ignorance. It really depends on what lasts you're talking about. And that comment is from a person who's supposed to have been wearing "C&J, Churches, AE and Peals" for several decades, that really shows something OK Pops...

    An Honest Question about Shoes

    This is my first post, and in order to keep a long story short, I am a 29 year-old graduate student that interns at a professional clinic. I live in the south, but I abhor the southern laziness that is the polo shirt, slacks and slip-ons look. I don't try to fit in, but I also cannot afford the...

    Peal & Co. quality question

    Brooks is not reliable. Since last July I have: - Had orders 'confirmed' in email but not sent out. FOUR TIMES. - Had the wrong thing sent. - Been told by customer service that 'it is definitely on its way, sorry.' Only to find out later that it wasn't. When I pointed out that they had sent...

    Peal & Co. quality question

    Thanks. We know... Peal was an actual leather co. making shoes and other leather items in England.They were bought by BB in the 60's. The BRAND NAME is PEAL regardless of whether they are made in an actual Peal factory or made to BB specifications in another factory. The name is Peal just like...

    Suggestions for college student sprucing up the wardrobe?

    Hello! I am new to the forum, and hopefully it can prove useful! I am a college student studying engineering. Right now I'm looking to make some signficant changes to the way i dress. As far as what I am doing now, I look fairly good, but I would like to convey a nicer more "sophisticated"...

    Ordered a bunch of C&J and quite dissapointed... am I missing something?

    No it's not. Not in C&J. I've been wearing C&J, Churches, AE and Peals before you were born kid so you may want to listen instead of acting like the typical 'tween and 20 something moron who thinks he knows everything. And btw, ALL of my shoes fit perfectly.

    Ordered a bunch of C&J and quite dissapointed... am I missing something?

    I figured if I tried just about every current last they make, one might work, each is quite different. I thought this, but my heel is not slipping at all, which I assumed was the sign of a shoe being too long. big toe on left foot leaves about .5" and on right .75" (since right foot is a bit...

    Leather cracking on EGs - please advise

    I have many pairs of shoes that I have owned for 10+ years including at least one pair that is 26+ years old (that happen to be similar to the OP's black shoes). I have never had this kind of cracking. To keep my shoes in condition I simply used a Meltonian colored creme polish and then kiwi or...
