Ditto on the above. I have some Grenson masterpieces that look just like the Greshams and are my go-to boots for jeans. That said, any of those boots would look great with jeans.

I agree with that ordering, too, but the Gresham are a truly wonderful way to show some understated personal taste and edge.

Vass all the way. I'm in the minority of those who don't find the conservative-ness of EG/C&J that appealing.

It's no secret that I certainly like C&J and EG, but in this comparison Vass beats the competition hands down. I consider the other two boots dead boring.

Loving that Gresham. IMHO Chelseas just lack a certain something, they're too plain, I think the buckle on Jodphur boots finishes it nicely.

Looking at some Gucci Jodphurs myself atm...
