Going by price point, I'd guess C&J. But you can also call them and ask them to take a picture of the writing inside the shoe. Please let us know if you find out!

At that price, at near 8 hundred dollars, you need more details than ‘made in England’. Crockett & Jones have a similar ankle chelsea boot in their autumn range. I believe it is called the ‘Deene’. It comes in dark brown pebble grain and plain black. I’m pretty sure it would work out a better deal for you to buy directly from the company. At just over £400, subtracting the VAT, adding shipping costs from England, I imagine you would get the Deene boots for around $500. With the money you save, get yourself a new coat on me.

Islay day today. I actually treated these with Obenauf HDLP a few years ago. Still very water resistant.

But it wouldn't have the Paul Stuart mystique

That isn’t the right reply. The correct reply is liking my comment and thanking me for saving you $300. Seriously, I know nothing of this Paul Stuart. I do know that Ralph Lauren sell a chelsea boot made by Crockett & Jones for close to a thousand dollars. Guess what, an almost IDENTICAL boot is available at Crockett & Jones, Handgrade, for £570. Again, as a non-EU citizen, subtract VAT, add around £20 shipping, and you have the boots for around $650 or less. The only difference is that you don’t get the Ralph Lauren name. You get Crockett & Jones, which is far more desirable in my book. You know it makes sense.

That's all well and good, but what about the mystique?

 

[clee1982]

yo guys do know Paul Stuart discount CJ as heavily as Barney’s without the D sizing issue right...?

 

[mrjamescost]

Crockett & Jones don’t have a mystique in your neck of the woods?

 

[clee1982]

I mean the only shoes PS doesn’t discount regularly is GG (they do like every 3 - 4 yr on them). You can find CJ benchgrade for <$300 sometimes

It really comes down to mystique ratio.

Take, for example, a total mystique function, M:

M=Q+5Q


But in all seriousness, I'm pulling your leg. I'd go for C&J direct unless PS was discounted.

Gentlemen,

I am very excited about these Milton on 348 (unlined Tetbury)

Happy Thursday!

 

[coolarrow]

^^^Look great! Are they unlined?

^^^Look great! Are they unlined?

Yes Sir. Polo suede (snuff) unlined. Basically an unlined Tetbury.

Couldn’t agree with you more on this! Would far prefer Crockett and jones branding on my shoes then any of those two!
