love the shoes, lame customer service ... i asked for a dustbag cuz i purchased a pair and didnt get one in the box. so i emailed their customer service dude and told him about it. a month and a half passed. finally got a response that they dont supply "extra" dustbags but that if i could prove i purchased from an authorized dealer he would send me one. I emailed him an online confirmation for my order. 3 months have passed and I forgot about it. then i got an email today apologizing for the delay and that they would "gladly" send me one if i send them a self addressed paid postage envelope ... TERRIBLE

The leather used in the CP's has changed over the years. I have the original achilles and they have butter soft leather, while a pair I purchased a year ago, was still well made, but the leather was tougher.

Can someone explain what the numbers stamped on the side mean? I know it's been posted in the past, but I can't seem to find it.

I have a question about common projects achillles mid sizing. If I wear a 10 in chucks, and am a 10.5D on a measuring device, what is my shoe size in this model?

This is strongly dependent on your foot's width. I wear a 43 in CP (Achilles) and a 9 in Chucks. The 42 was long enough for me but it was uncomfortably narrow, and I wear D width in every other shoe.

True. As a counterpoint, I wear an 8.5 in Chucks and fit a 41 in CP comfortably.
