Council is necessary: what to choose? Crockett and Jones - Selborne or Edgeware?

I do know what you mean. Even though I think I prefer the toe cap, the medallion might be a bit phallic (not that there's anything wrong with that).

Good stuff. I agree with a previous poster who said they are more balanced.

Get both but always wear an Edgeware on one foot and a Selbourne on the other and see how many people notice.

In my experience the captoe would show fewer creases, but the difference is not really significant.

Captoes'll probably appear to have fewer creases since the cap takes away from the creases visually, while the plain toe shoes every thing.

Congrats on the shoes! Love the captoe myself..

why do I get the impression that this thread is going to get bumped in a month or two with IST posting "I got the edgewear, too!"

Beautiful shoes, congratulations! I'm so envious, I've been eyeing these for some time. I need to figure out my sizing on C&J so I can place an order.
