Crockett & Jones 337 for wider fit?

[SuitedDx]

I've read most of the threads that suggesting a full size down on the 337 for regular US width (US D); however, does this 1 size down recommendation also apply for those with wider widths (e.g., US E width). Since the 337 is a 'spacious' last, is a full enough to accommodate wide (US E) when down a full size?

i cant answer your question specifically, but to say that a 337 is wider than a 348. I'd go so far as to say that a 348 F width is equivalent to the 337 E width. These are UK widths so adjust accordingly.

How about 358 compare to 337?

358 iS apparently same as 348 except its handgrade, there may be slightly more generous size in handgrade than equivalent benchgrade. I say this from experience trying them on iN CJ store in London, and subsequent purchases of 358 and 337.

I am a USA 10.5/11E and UK10 337s fit comfortably on me but snuggish.

Swung by the C&J store and tried on the 337. I was very surprised to find out that even the 6E was full for me and actually had to go down to a 5.5E to get a nice fit (I wear 6E for other C&J lasts, and UK6 for most British makers). I guess there goes my fantasy of having a closet full of handgrades 337s since I think most of them start off at 6E.

Might be a good thing for my retirement fund though.
