Here are a couple of shots of my Grenson cap toes, model 8001/17 in cognac with the handwritten "P" for Paul Stuart:
and the sole:
Here are the chukkas with rubber crepe sole. The chukkas aren't antiqued, just a rich brown leather. They are leather lined, and have this written on the inside: GRENSON STYLE 8014/50 9/D 4610 P 04-97 The "P" is handwritten. According to Mr. Pollock this should mean Paul Stuart, and that seems right, I think. He also suggests that the style numbers beginning with "8" are Masterpiece line. Does that mean that these chukkas are to that level? One would assume that for Paul Stuart they were of a higher grade than Grenson's regular line. I assume the "04-97" is the date they were made, which means they've been deadstock for six years or so.
