    NIB Grenson Masterpiece for Paul Stuart "Pitt", black calf, US6.5D

    Grenson Masterpiece for Paul Stuart "Pitt", black calf, US6.5D Brand new, with sunk-in toe plates installed. Note the US sizing rather than the UK sizing on my other listings. Outsole measurements: L: 10.75 inches W: 3.75 inches Full disclosure: the leather uppers look a little dry on...

    NIB Russell & Bromley "Jermyn", taupe suede, UK6

    Russell & Bromley "Jermyn", taupe suede, UK6 It's this model: http://www.russellandbromley.co.uk/boots/jermyn/invt/567554 but in a grey-brown mushroomy colour. Outsole measurements: L: 11.25 inches W: 4 inches Made in Portugal, Blake-stitched. Comes with original shoe box and a large shoe...

    Cheaney "Earls Row", burnished mahogany calf, UK6G

    Cheaney "Earls Row", burnished mahogany calf, UK6G Although they're marked as being a UK G fitting, they don't look particularly wide. The shoe quality seems to be just below Cheaney's Imperial range - soles are channelled and the waists are quite bevelled, but it's not as extreme as on the...

    Cleverley semi-bespoke "Peter", black calf, UK6D

    Cleverley semi-bespoke "Peter", black calf, UK6D By far the best shoes in my collection... but what's the point if they don't fit? :( Outsole measurements: L: 11 inches W: 3.75 inches I think I've worn them about five times or so, but there's not much wear on the soles due to the sunk-in toe...

    New Crockett & Jones for Cleverley punched captoe oxfords, black calf, 297 last, UK6E

    New Crockett & Jones for Cleverley punched captoe oxfords, black calf, 297 last, UK6E Bought these ages ago, was fully intending to wear them (hence the sunk-in toe plates that I got C&J to install for me), but I just have too many shoes in my work rotation... Comes with Cleverley shoe bags...

    NIB Edward Green for Kurt Geiger "Chelsea", wine calf, 202 last, UK6E

    Bought these years ago, never wore them, plus the 202 last doesn't fit me very well. Quirky things about these shoes: 1. The uppers are made with an aniline leather rather than EG's usual crust leather with antiquing. 2. The shoes have double leather soles, which is nice for the vertically...

    Overcoat canvas problem

    http://www.styleforum.net/showpost.p...50&postcount=2 A "structured" coat is typically made using several layers of different kinds of canvas or interlinings. The largest is a layer of wool/horsehair blend that is basically the same size as the front third or so of (each side of) the coat...

    WTB: LAST magazine volume 10

    Tried to order it from my local Japanese book shop last week but alas, it seems that I'm too late: they called back today saying they've been in touch with the publisher and it's already out of print. So if anyone has a spare copy lying around or knows where to find one, would be hugely...

    Robert Jordan

    Link I seem to remember there being a few Robert Jordan fans around here. I'd given up on reading the Wheel of Time (managed to get through seven of the books), but it's sad to see him go before finishing the series.

    FS: C&J Handgrade Hanover (UK 6.5E) + Rosebery (UK 7E)

    Crockett & Jones Handgrade Hanover in tan, 337 last, UK 6.5E Brand new in box, not factory seconds, but the colour on one of the shoes has faded a bit from being on display. Ideal for practicing your antiquing skills. GBP 150 + shipping. Shoe trees not included. I've also still got...

    Grenson sale in London...

    ... at St Botolph's Church Hall, Bishopsgate, London EC2 tomorrow (Friday), 8am-4pm. The sale's been going on all this week but I only noticed the sign today. Mostly Footmasters (both old styles and new), a few Feathermasters. Retail GBP 150-200, they're being offered at GBP 70-90 so not bad...

    FS: C&J Handgrade Rosebery (UK 7E) + Savile (UK 10E)

    Crockett & Jones Handgrade Rosebery, 330 last, UK 7E: Brand new in box, I don't think they've even been tried on. Crockett & Jones Handgrade Savile, 337 last, UK 10E: The sole on the right shoe is slightly scuffed (see third pic), but the shoes are otherwise brand new. I'm...

    C&J "Hanover" (i.e. Weymouth sans medallion)

    A little heads-up for those of you who wanted a pair of the "Hanover" Handgrades that sysdoc posted pics of in this thread: Gordon Scott on New Bond Street in London now have them in black and a very light tan (I think it's what C&J calls Beige Antique). GBP 320, or about GBP 270 excluding VAT...

    C&J sale at La Botte Chantilly

    Mouldy shoe trees!

    Just received a batch of unvarnished cedar shoe trees and found that some of them were mouldy. Â I've not had cedar shoe trees before but I'm pretty sure that's not what brand new ones should be like. I'm guessing though that this can happen with cedar shoe trees after a bit of use (due to all...

    C&J sale...

    ... starts tomorrow at the Jermyn Street and Burlington Arcade shops, and on Monday at the Royal Exchange shop. Most of the sale stock will be at the Jermyn Street shop, but apparently each shop will have some exclusive stuff e.g. I saw a nice pair of chestnut chukka boots with an elongated...

    Shoe eyelet questions

    Paid a visit to the C&J factory last Saturday with a friend, who ended up buying a pair of Handgrade seconds: unnamed black punched captoe on a round-toe last which looked a bit slimmer and pointier than the 330 but didn't have an elongated toe like the 337.  The shoes were in great...

    Paraboot

    Does anyone know what's happened to the Paraboot shop on Savile Row?  I was under the impression that they hold sales in the winter and was hoping to pick up a pair or two, but the shop's been closed for a coupla months now and looks completely abandoned (you can see all the delivered post on...

    Gordon Scott sale

    Walked by New Bond Street today, turns out that Gordon Scott have started their sale already so popped in for a look. The following Handgrade models were in the sale: Savile Mortimer (monkstrap on 330 last, discontinued?) Whitehall - all 195 GBP I think. Might be others, and also a few C&J...

    Dress shoes for rainy days

    The rainy season's back and, after nearly killing myself walking home in a pair of Grenson Masterpieces on smooth pavement made slick by light drizzle, I think it's time I bought another pair of rubber soled shoes. I have my eye on C&J's Radstock model - it's on the new 341 last and looks...
