New C&J's in 'F' width...

[jjl5000]

I stumbled across the following site:

http://www.mandbgents.com/nyhetsbrev/mto/

I don't know if members are already aware of this but they appear to be offering plenty of shoes in wider fittings including the much loved Westbourne on the 348.

A selection from the site, which appears to be under construction...

Could this be the answer to our wide footed prayers?

I like many of them, particularly the boots. Wasn't there some talk of C&J offering the handgrades in wider width's in the near future?

Lots of speculation but nothing concrete. I hope this site isn't an April fools joke

They are based in Denmark, 24%VAT.
But might do export, if C&J lets them...

We need prices! Let's hope their pricing structure is circa Plal

I hope this works out! I am looking at a few of those offerings that would be great if I could get them in a wider offering. I ordered the Savile on the 337 last thinking they might just be wide enough. I can wear them, but they are still just a bit snug, even after having a local cobbler stretch them just a bit. If Plal had more of a selection in a wider fit, I would have been in trouble long ago!!

I need narrower...not wider!

I can tell you that this is not an April fools joke

That is a newsletter we sent out to our customers in Copenhagen/Denmark and Malmo/Sweden offering them a chance to sign up for a limited edition shoe in there size. And they have until 15th of April to do so. After that we order them from Crockett & Jones and the delivery is July/August.
Price for the shoes Avebury, Thierry (handgrade) and the Radnor is 440£ plus shipping cost and the rest is 350£ plus shipping cost.
I looked up the shipping to US and it was like 25£.

Good god! $900 for C&J boots? What is the world coming to?

Great collection but the prices have killed off any interest.

I would definitely buy the Edgware and Lownes (with the toe medallion, instead of the usual cap), but having to come up with ~$700 for each in the next two weeks isn't feasible. (I wonder how many people can?)

Hopefully these styles will be available normally from C&J to U.S. buyers; otherwise, I'll have to just look at the photos. There are some great designs here, certainly.
