    Crockett & Jones MTO Central

    I would look at the customs paperwork and see what they used for the HTS code.

    Crockett & Jones MTO Central

    Sure. Here is the link to the site: https://hts.usitc.gov/search If you just search for 'welt', you will find the right section. You'll see that Welt Footwear is 6403.12.30(00). Unless they are golf shoes or ones with protective toes or made on wood sole, you won't pay tax. You'll want to...

    Crockett & Jones MTO Central

    If you look at the HTS Tariff schedule (US only) Welt footwear with rubber or leather sole has not duty on it (free). Ensure the sender is marking them correctly on their customs forms.

    ** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)

    Thank you for this. I would jump on any MTO that would be 6 or 7 eyelets. I absolutely love the boots, but just with they were a tad lower. I think it makes sense for what the purpose of these are but for me I could do with an inch or two less. Can't wait to break these in and wear the hell...

    Thanks! So yours also slant down like that? A lot of pics I see online are more of a straight drop. I was hoping they had more of a drop since it suits my feet better but they don't fit badly.

    Look at the way the toebox slants down. Not like the 365.

    ** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)

    Quick question for the C&J experts here. I just received some Islays from Robert Old and noticed the toe box looks much less bulbous than my Bangor (Barney's) on the 365 in the same size (11UK vs 12US). And all the pics of the Islay online also show a more pronounced or bulbous toe box. I...

    ** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)

    I have a pair of roughout Vibergs and although I haven't seen this, I'm fairly certain this is not a crack. Remember roughout is just the flesh side out so it's very fibrous. The fibers are fairly loose on the flesh side. My guess is that they have some type of coating on there and what you...

    The Islay in a shorter form. Maybe around 6.5". I've always wanted that boot ever since I bought the Bangor at Barney's in NYC around 2011, which is on the same last. I just don't care for the boot being so tall. I didn't realize until now that it can be MTO. Depending on cost, would go...

    Crockett & Jones MTO Central

    I apologize if this has been asked but couldn't find it (easily). I'm in the US and am looking to do a single MTO Islay. Is this something I can do directly from the factory or do I need to go through the US stores? The cost is much higher here in the US. A few hundred if you include the...

    Just an FYI (if it wasn't mentioned yet) to make sure and look at all photos. I noticed the NIGEL CABOURN X EDDIE BAUER QUILTED JACKET has a small hole in the front.

    If anyone knows of a store selling the Mallory jacket and vest (navy or gray) in size 52, please let me know. Looking for both pieces together. Not too fond of the new colors. cheers!

    Dealing with buyer's fraud on ebay?

    I've been on the other end before on something like this. I was a buyer and the item was grossly misrepresented. Basically accept the case. You and the buyer will make your case. Make sure you still have the original pictures and include them in your 'statement' or case. Ebay will review...

    What do you guys think of the kudu chukka boot? Thinking about getting it mainly for a nice winter boot. Does kudu last as long as any other leather? I know you are not suppose to take care of it really (as in condition, polish) I used to really not care for it at all but it's grown on me...

    Bottega Veneta Shoes - info/stores/sales/etc

    Oh no, not Kenneth Cole! I actually like the curving toe. A bit more comfortable and work like. Not looking for a dressy shoe, but a more casual/work type one.

    Bottega Veneta Shoes - info/stores/sales/etc

    I did a search here on Bottega Veneta shoes and couldn't come up with too much information on them (besides some sales). I'm new to their shoe line and recently had the chance to try some of the Desert boots on. I really like the rounded toe and fit of those boots, but at $600+ not sure they're...

    That's the Military last, another Japan exclusive. Damn, damn. Thanks for the info. You think there's any chance they'd ever release it here?
