My want list:

John Lobb Luffield, Brown Suede - 9E UK
John Lobb 2004, Pepper - 9E UK

 

[kronik]

Interested in UK 10Es here.

 

[Roikins]

My tiny feet would love some UK 7.5 Lobbs... in brown.

 

[toniok]

Would be interested in a Jermyn II in 8 EE but I guess they rarely make it to the factory shop.

Thank you for the overwhelming response.

I wish I could simply walk into Lobbs and blitz the place with your requests. However, their response would probably be to warn me off or ban me.

I will make a list, group you by size and get to work in as discrete a manner as possible.

C & J Handgrades - no joy at all, other than communicate availability. I cannot compete with PLAL on price.

LAST 348- Tetbury,Hallam,Drummond,Alex,Edjware,Stanford and so forth - we can have a lot of joy there.

Church - I urge you to think again. There are some great Balmorals available. Prices would generally be from £ 170 GBP but clearance offers could take the price as low as £130

Trickers - Very english and "traditional" - but if they're your thing rather than 'dress' shoes, they are excellent. Their heavy boots and brogues in general are their forte IMO.

Edward Green - do not give access to factory stock. I could make a 'personal call' - but for all that entails, I'd keep them for myself.

Once again, thank you.
Please bombard me with questions and requests.

Shoe size alone is fine. However, I'd probably act on specific shoe requests first.

If you could remember I'm English and quote your width in UK width fittings, that would really help!

I am definitely interested as well! Just sent you a PM.

I'd be interested in size 6 or 6.5UK (40) Crockett & Jones and Tricker's boots (preferably with a dainite or commando sole, not leather).

 

[blc]

I've been watching your auctions. I'd definitely be interested in some brown John Lobb Becketts in UK 9.

 

[Salsalocust]

OK! Let's have a go at this!

The only shoes I have currently not listed on Ebay are a pair of C & J "Stanford" Chestnut tassel Loafers UK 10E
and a C & J "Drummond" Brown Suede Balmoral UK 10 E.
http://i14.ebayimg.com/02/i/000/8f/94/170c_1.JPG
The Drummond is on the 348 last, while the Stanford is on the 342.
The Drummond is currently on its way back from Italy as it was too narrow for my customer.

Both are marked SUBS. There is a very slight case of overshading on the inside of the right Stanford which,to all intents, is unnoticeable. I cannot fault the Drummond at all.

Please PM me if you are interested.

You can upload the photos to a hosting site like photobucket, imageshack, or imagevenue. They will supply you with code for clickable small images which you can paste into a post here.

Yeah, I figured that would bring you and Mr. Monty out of the woodwork

 

[lawyerdad]

Some more specifics (by no means an exhaustive list, I'd certainly be interested in others in a 10.5E, or possibly in an 11E):
Jermyn II (range of browns, pewter, black)
Derwent (browns, burdundy, pewter - true for most of the res)
Brampton
Luffield
Marston
Vale
Bourne (black)
Avon (suede, maybe brown calf as well)
Bolero (brown, burgundy)
Happy Hunting!

Then to be clear, I would be looking for 10.5E in UK sizing in Lobb, and the same or 11E in C&J, depending on last.

I'd love to see some wholecuts or double monks in UK 6.5.
Thanks
