    Experiences with Crockett & Jones Handgrade?

    Yes, agree. As a dyed-in-the-wool Yorkshireman (we're mean old skinflints who hate to part with our hard earned 'brass' - even meaner than the Scots), I want to know exactly what I'd get for my £280 if I went down the MTO 'H' route. All told, £400 for a RTW C&J 'H' is good value.

    Experiences with Crockett & Jones Handgrade?

    I guess it's an impossible question to really answer unless, of course, you are in the trade. At the very top (EG, C&J 'H', Lobb) there can only be marginal differences, which are probably not noticable anyway. Actually, a C&J MTO 'H' is about £680 or so, which is considerably more...

    Experiences with Crockett & Jones Handgrade?

    I'm thinking of getting a C&J 'Handgrade' - never had them before. Any good? Are they better than Edward Green? EG is obviously more expensive - £550 ish. Handgrade - £400.

    Tricker's 2161 last fit questions

    Apologies for resurrecting this thread from the grave but can anyone give a comparison between the 2161 last and Tricker's Country lasts? Is the 2161 as roomy? Cheers in advance. I'd say go down half a size in the 2161 - they are quite roomy. I'd also go down half a size in the 4444, fit 5 - I...

    Boots for the city and countryside??

    pheew, you are much more familiar with the rtw-stuff, espacially the british guns. but i'm kind of a guy with an holistic approach... Unhealthy interest in country boots, I'm afraid. I think I'm going to take up fishing again.

    Are CJ Snowdon boots comfortable in long walks?

    Isn't Greshmere goodyear welted rather than featuring Veldtschoen construction? Also, as far as it does not have a bellows tongue? Aren't these associated with waterproof qualities? Perhaps in terms of upper, due to its so-called zug grain leather, it can be the best country boots out there, but...

    Boots for the city and countryside??

    copied that. i'm not a dainite man, but what's wrong with the coniston. it's much more pleasing for the eyes. Nice classic 'town' boot. It would be lovely in oxblood. It's a far better boot than the Culford, but I prefer the eyelets on the Culford - adds to that sturdy, no-nonsense practical look.

    Boots for the city and countryside??

    kidding? It's not bad. There's not a lot in between - most lasts are pretty big. This sits sort of in the middle. I love to see Grenson Albert in a boot design - the 64 last would look great.

    Are CJ Snowdon boots comfortable in long walks?

    You won't find a more robust boot than the Grasmere. It's basically an old style WW1 military boot. Extend the leather up the calf, two buckles and you are there. I am considering asking Tricker's to make gaiters for them. Very difficult to get trad. ones now.

    Boots for the city and countryside??

    Is there a pair of boots anyone could recommend for both walking around a city and wearing in the countryside? I'm talking touristy walks in the city and light hiking in the country - puddles, mainly, mud, etc. What do you think of Edward Green Galway model? Thanks in advance! I'm a bit of a...

    Burgundy full brogue

    In case you change your mind about the English-made requirement, the AE McCallister in deep merlot (a little darker than a burgundy) is one of AE's nicer shoes For a semi-brogue, John Crocket offers a nice adelaide from Trickers in burgundy, but at 370 euro it ain't cheap Nice AE, but I...

    Burgundy full brogue

    Ah yes, didn't notice that. Odd style twist really.

    Burgundy full brogue

    I like the EG one a lot, but I've ordered a pair from Alfred Sargent's handgrade line. Chay told me they were at the closing stage last week. Cheers.

    Burgundy full brogue

    Why would that be an imitation brogue? It looks the real deal! Thanks for the tip.

    Burgundy full brogue

    I'm looking for one at the mo and have reached a dead end. Is there anything available from C&J, Tricker's, Grenson or Edward Green in calf I've missed? I'd take a look at anything else. Would have to be English, not US made. Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Shoe Damage Report & Shoe P0rn Central - Part II

    An elegant and sophisticated look. Where I work even the senior managers walk around with their shirt tails hanging out. Young old fogey perhaps, but to me lazy dress sense = lazy mind! Throw in a dose of lazy communication (e-mail) = modern workplace. P.O.E.T.S. day. I'm off to the pub.

    Edward Green Coniston

    Does anyone own a pair? They are MTO only. Pictures appreciated.

    english shoes quality heirachy

    Don't know Alden, I'm afraid. From what I've seen I would guess that they would probably be around the Loake 1880 mark.
