Really happy with this resole after 5 years of ownership! Thanks the New York Team and craftsman at C&J! Too bad I didn’t take a photo before the work. Changed from double leather sole to ridgeway sole. Very comfortable right out of the box and ready for this winter!!

Very nice! I have an old pair of Marlows I'm planning on sending back, would be nice if they could last them a bit smaller

Definitely bring it back to C&J and they have many different sole offering. Try to see if they could last them smaller.

Those are the jam, never seen 'em in suede before. Where (and when) are they from?

I found them for sale second-hand from a UK seller. They came with what seems to be the original box calling them 'Safari Suede', but I thought that was a different colour. Couldn't find anything about them with a Google. Perhaps MTO?

Hi.

I spent some time on the google and came up blank as well, MTO is probably right. Nice pickup.

Is it strange to get giddy over the texture of scotch grain?

I will follow up with more textured Conistons today:

What laces are you using? The length looks perfect... The round braided ones that came with mine are stupid long

Thanks. These are Allen Edmonds 39" round brown laces.

They’re kind of supposed to be that long. When you’re done with the fourth and final speed hook, wrap them around your ankle and then tie them.
