It's interesting how, sometimes, you can actually find prettier shoes in Factory shop than their London stores ..

What color saphir product do you all recommend for tan country grain? Light brown, neutral, or something else?

 

[jeffd]

I've used the neutral, though it removes a bit of the darker brown within the grain. I should experiment with C&J's technique of finishing with a dark brown and wiping it off the surface, but I'm worried that there might be a skill to that which I don't possess.

Thanks

Can someone comment on the 325 last in general? Is it fairly TTS, or does it run a little narrow/wide?

I found the 325 (Pembroke) considerably wider than the 348 (Tetbury), But my Pembrokes aren't the kind of shoes i'd wear with thin socks anyway. Wearing thicker socks definitely compensates for the extra width.

How blue is the navy color from c&j, especially on the coniston?

There were some photos a few pages ago but it seems it was not under natural light.

Navy Conistons.

Yeah, it's a decent representation of the color.

^Thanks


And if I'm right, the only way to get them in dark brown is to buy from purdey or go MTO?

I have fell in love with the hartland in navy, but can't find it anywhere online. Not for a lacking of trying though.

Does anyone know a place (online) that has them, or will take orders?

Thank you. Did you contact one of their stores, or did you use the contact form?

May I ask how long you had to wait for the shoes to arrive?
