Crockett & Jones for Ralph Lauren Cordovan (Marlow, Darlton, Gifford, Garran, Lindrick, McCallum, Rh

[Girardian]

I have gone topy on several shoes and I like the practicality of it - but I have mixed feelings when the Topy goes over a virgin sole (even though that's when you should do it). So a few of my shoes have toe wear even before the Topy goes on and then you get a pinched look at the front which gives the shoes a prematurely aged look.

I am looking to purchase cordovan shoe cream for my Marlow’s and Gianni’s. Should I grab the Saphir dark brown or neutral?

You can ask your cobbler to add a very thin piece of leather at the worn down area before putting on the Topy

For shell I typically use neutral.

Saphir makes a cordovan specific cream. Their marketing claims that it is better for cordovan. I have that in dark brown but usually just apply Saphir reno and maybe apply the brown once a year or if I get a scratch.

This thread does need some pics. I have the Marlow / Dalton from 2011-2012ish, all picked up in RL sales. The three sets I bought were penny loafers, wingtips, and boots. They probably need some love before posting pictures as they have not been worn in a while. The loafers, once broken in, have been my go-to summer shoe and have significant sole wear. The boots got toppied right out of the box so they have almost no wear. The wingtips are somewhere in the middle.

I've always wanted a pair of Gianni ... I have some similarly styled special order boots ... but I sitll think about these -- like a woman you almost dated and still think about years later. Anyway, that's the good and bad sign of something that haunts you. I missed a pair here on SF a few years go and now there's one on the 'Bay (not sure sizing is right for me), but the price is about $850. Curious what you guys think about pricing on (very gently) used Gianni boots. Seems high.

If you’re still interested, there’s a GMTO proposal for these (Galway II) on the C&J GMTO thread and spreadsheet:
Reach out to @fernando526 with any questions, but I know he is keen to get this off the ground...

Yes! Unfortunately, Jonathan Jones himself shut down the idea of bringing back the Gianni as it was an outdated design and insisted on using Galway style instead. Apart from the taller boot shaft (and the extra pair of eyelets), the boots are identical!

hi everyone - I cant seem to find the RL marlow models any more - I see some limited sizes for the tassel in the us online store but nothing in Europe. I haven't seen them in the London flagship either? will those ever be restocked?

that’s because RL is no longer carrying that line. You might be able to find some NOS But it would be via a third party.

Thank you for the quick reply - why was it discontinued ? (if you look closely even in the suits for the latest/current season on the website the models seem to be wearing the the marlow tassel etc.)

If I ask CC to make a Cavendish / Pembroke in brown cordovan with a double leather soul would those be the same as the RL marlow line?

it’s pretty much the same shoe. Brooks Brothers carried it too as part of their Peal line. I have that version in brown cordovan.

As for RL, they change their lineup to reflect their stylistic direction I suppose. It’s not uncommon with a label like that.

When we did a GMTO of a whiskey Marlow (aka the Warlow) they arrived in boxes marked Pembroke.

Hey guys! Is anyone Interested in swapping any Pair of RL Marlows/Lindricks in size 12 D or E for my Size 11,5E Lindrick Boots?

If you don’t get a swap, I may be interested in purchasing your Lindricks if you’d consider it
