    My workhorses. Plaza punch toes. Daily rotation 5 days a week. Also, so happy I got on the Leffot #8 dover list. It's second only to the LS 4x4 on my list of unicorns.

    Just put in a preorder for my 10th pair today I think I may have a problem. In regards to beaters vs nice shoes for a night out my #8 chukkas have been to hell and back including nasty men's restrooms, mud, rain, and whiskey/mixed drinks. A little cream, wax, and edge care and they're still...

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

    Received my first C&J rcently. Dark brown Westfield. I'm struggling with the overall shape and elongated toe. I feel like I'm wearing pontoons.

     A Dover is going to fit slightly tighter around the middle and instep. Same would go for a chukka or nassau due to the seam on the side. Lace a little looser until they are broken in.

    Brown CXL is filling my ravello gap nicely. My favorite of the summer.

     It works with empty Van Winkle bottles.

     IMO a pair of black tassels isn't far from an opera pump. It's up there with the black cap toe or plain toe bal, and one of the few and maybe only loafer with that level of formality.

     I would say it's between the two, but closer to the flex. Neocork is very easy and flexible compared to double leather.

    The AOC archive photos reaffirmed my stance on the plaza last. More alden make ups should be on plaza.

     I thought the snuff suede PTB had an antique edge trim, not natural? Natural would work initially, but with nicks and wear and tear I'd want something with color. If I remember correctly there are 4 levels of antique finish, none of which are natural although the lightest may be close.

     I tend to lace tighter and wear thicker socks with my boots.

    I did mean polish, since its somewhat opaque. Their edge dressing would most likely be too much if you want to maintain the natural look.
