thanks, jh. indeed it is the 70, and i do not find it to be any tighter in the toes than the other lasts.



Indeed — they're all elongated enough that their shouldn't be much difference to actual toes between the differing shapes of the end of the toe boxes.


OK, thanks guys. I'm thinking of trying it with a Canterbury.

OK, thanks guys. I'm thinking of trying it with a Canterbury.

Very cool, Stitch - looks like you don't wear them enough - send a pair my way, please.

Kudos, Stitch - very kind of you.


it is an honor.

.


A. No, I guess you'll have to keep.

B. Due, perhaps to the Polar Vortex, my thoughts have turned blasphemous - getting a pair of C&J Northcotes on the 348 last for £400 less.

OH BABY!! what are you wearing, waiting for and deciding on?


Wearing Cherry Cambridge (73), waiting for Rioja St. James II (71) very soon, and Chesnut Rothschild (70) in March.:slayer:

I want to line up something for summer but I'm limited to ordering from Nick's existing offering because I order them all in the F width.

Maybe something along the lines of these? I don't have the best luck with slip-ons...

I'm anxiously awaiting to see what Nick brings in over the next 2-3 months. Hopefully more suede!

i think the antibes would be a great summer loafer.
