If you're planning an MTO through London, now may be the best time:

Oh man I did not need to see this at the moment... Sadly we aren't at 2020 levels yet when I went on a MTO spree.

I wish I'd been properly sized back in '20 when it hit 99 cents. However, I did pull the trigger on a few lengths of cloth for future me to fund.

Shelton, mounted on Dainite in 325 last. This model in rough out suede would be great.

Beautiful, seldom seen model with a lovely, rugged vibe.

As promised, a follow-up on the Harvard 2 (for those that don't already own it!).

The 10UK fits excellent. Snug as a loafer needs to be, but very comfortable especially across the dreaded vamp. Dreaded, anyway, for those of us with a high instep.

My only gripe is that C&J doesn't have their loafer size recommendations posted right along with the Last description. Instead, it's buried away elsewhere. I originally ordered the 9.5UK.

For the record, this is the 376, while the Connaught 2 on the 379 is a 9.5UK for me. I'm a 10.5D US by measurement, bordering on an E width (although I've never purchased an E width).

For those wondering how ”red” rust Radnors are; here is a comparison with my dark brown Bostons.
Personally, I think the colour is great and versatile.

Super jealous and devastated i didn't get these. These don't look red at all. My size is no longer is stock.

This is really helpful. When I saw that colour I was really taken by it. I’ve been pondering an Islay GMTO using the Rust SG, something like the Tan SG Islay we did. I agree with your statement that I think it will be a versatile addition…

I cant make sense of this. On the webpage for this rust Radnor boot, it states in the description,

N.B. Radnor does NOT have a storm welt as per the image. This style is made with a regular welt which relates back to traditional marching boots made for the British Army.

But the images DO show a stormwelt. So why on earth have they not advertised images of the correct boot (i.e. the Radnor with NO stormwelt) ?

I’m guessing it was to do with samples made for approval/photo shoot… it’s just a sale special run so they’ve not done the photography on the final production run.

Just a guess…

How much water resistance does storm welt add over the flat welt?

Lumow, does this boot have half gusseted tongue?

That would be my ideal makeup for this boot. Flat welt, half bellow tongue, ridgeway sole. That colour does look great 👍

None

Lumow, does this boot have half gusseted tongue?

Yes (or, like a third of the tounge)
