They seem to also have a tapered rubber sole, see e.g. this Dover. Unless that's an R2?
This is the R2, looks like HAF in profile.
UNIFORM LA CHILLICOTHE WORK JACKET Drop, going on right now.
Uniform LA's Chillicothe Work Jacket is an elevated take on the classic Detroit Work Jacket. Made of ultra-premium 14-ounce Japanese canvas, it has been meticulously washed and hand distressed to replicate vintage workwear that’s been worn for years, and available in three colors.
This just dropped today. If you missed out on the preorder, there are some sizes left, but they won't be around for long. Check out the remaining stock here
Good luck!.

And R2 is the thicker rubber sole.
I own both C&J Langham and EG Belgravia, the EG are a couple of steps above in make and style. They are also my best fitting loafers - I find the C&J looser on the heel and tighter on the toes.I recently got the CJ Cavendish in dark brown calf and made the mistake of trying on the EG Belgravia in dark oak calf afterwards.
Right now, I'm trying to rationalise returning the Cavendish and buying the 2x more expensive Belgravias, which seem to fit my foot like a glove (more so than the CJ where I have to use tongue pads).
Does someone have experience with either or both who can share their thoughts? The Belgravia look awesome, and (of course) the make of the shoe is on a whole diferent level.
I guess I'm not asking a question here but rather looking for some encouragement to take the plunge.
Anyone here who has the Belgravia consider them a good investment? I wear loafers more and more lately and the DOAK calf seems like a versatile option that goes with everything but smart dark suits (got the Chelseas for that purpose).
Is R2 thicker or just has a midsole? I thought it was the latter. At least that’s how it appears to me.
right. The actual rubber portion is the same thickness but the midsole is thicker, correct?
Thank you. I think I'm more or less decided now, will pop to Jermyn St later this afternoon to seal the deal.I own both C&J Langham and EG Belgravia, the EG are a couple of steps above in make and style.

If I had to own just one, it would be the EG no question at all.
Yes, fit is key. It's the number one thing that must be perfect when buying a shoeThank you. I think I'm more or less decided now, will pop to Jermyn St later this afternoon to seal the deal.
The price difference between the Cavendish and the Belgravia is indeed conspicuous but if this is to be an item worn and cared for over years/decades, I think it might be a smart investment, especially given the superior fit.

Simon gets them for free ??but yes EG is an excellent shoemakerI have recently also made the jump from Crockett and Jones to Edward Green and just received the DOAK Belgravias. Worth the financial hit. A beautiful, versatile shoe that will look better as time goes by if cared for, judging by Simon Crompton's pair. Now considering a black loafer.
