Is Ben Silver the only stockist for C&J Albany?

[Trompe le Monde]

im a sucker for (1) adelaides and (2) suede

the only thing better is if these came in tobacco... but anyway

cant find any website with these other than ben silver

any other places to get them?

I think that some models are made for Ben Silver only so you might be out of luck. Ben Silver mark up is ridiculous though, $700 for C&J is pretty steep.Good luck.

starting to tire of the shape of my 2 pairs in 348s and multiple calfskins... really liking the 337 of these these i believe are handgrade, just dont like that they encroach into territory of more upmarket shoes

Get these Paul Stuart's that are currently on sale: Link They are Grenson Masterpiece. They are US sized, but run small. Equal in quality to C&J Handgrade, IMHO. Also, the last is very similar to the 337.

How do they run small - length? width?

All around. I vary between an 8.5 and 9 in most US sized shoes. In these, I wear a 9, but they are comfortably snug.

Ben Silver's 330 last is fairly unique. good for larger sizes

I believe the C&J store in NY sells the Albany. They're having a sale right now.

Very nice looking shoe. Too bad sizes stop at 12D

Pretty sure Ben Silver is the only place you can get the Albany. I spent a lot of time looking for it once and kept getting told that C&J only sold it through Ben Silver.

They get "leaked out" at C&J factory stores, I've seen them sold on ebay UK and they can also be found in Paris and Japan. I doubt that Ben Silver has exclusive rights to this design.

i am very impressed with paul stuart's shipping, despite it being over new years holiday and all

they have not, however, replied to my inquiry sent dec 29th.

(ended up buying it anyway)
