These are really nice! Are they discontinued?

Yes. @Reiver answered first.

They are discontinued.

It's a different calf than on my Durhams and Islays, which are waxy. These seem to be straight up pebble grained....

GeorgeRed -- to bad we're not the same size. Not because I want to buy all your C&J (although they are very nice), but because I want to grab your EG collection when you move up to bespoke!

Ha! I don’t think I will buy bespoke because EG lasts fit me like they were made for me. ??‍♂️

I'm recovering from surgery and told myself that once I'm recovered and back working, I'm going to buy some loafers; Teign or Sydney, not sure which. I realised I could've done with some slip-on footwear. Now I'm saying, once all the virus stuff is over with I'll get some. Anyone else going to treat themselves once it all blows over?

I was sitting here looking at how strong the USD is compared to other currencies, specifically CDN and EUR and was thinking it may make more sense to take advantage of that right now...

Some European stores may still stock odd sizes.

Grafford in Stockholm offer the Galway 2 in Cordovan.

Probably bite if they were in brown shell. Have too much color 8 and really would like them in that pebbled leather

I'm in the UK, the exchange rate doesn't affect me. Just being at home not earning an income is my main concern at the moment. At least as far as buying a new pair of shoes is concerned.

No, I understand that. Hopefully my post didn't come across as insensitive.

I purchased the Sydney last December, Teign is the unlined version of the Sidney so probably better for the spring/summer season coming up (when we're not in a complete lockdown..)

I got myself pair of Guernsey loafers, from their MTO line for Zwartjes Amsterdam, my local stockist. (See photo) Still curious for the good ol' Cavendish, so might get a pair of these later this season.

Take care with your recovery!

Wore my Lanark III for the wet conditions. These are super comfortable if Dainite works for you.

These have been on my wish list for a while but have never seem many photos of them other than website image.

Your photos have tempted me even more!

Do you have anything on 325 last for fit comparison?

I had been considering a shell PTB but seeing these photos I could definitely consider these as an alternative. The calf looks really good.

I've never tried the 325 last, so I'm sorry I can't help with that. I can tell you that I have tried the 236 and that last is too roomy for me at the waist and I cannot wear it. This Lanark III is fairly narrow at the heel and waist, so it hugs my feet well. However, the instep area is pretty generous, but not as generous as the 236. The ball area on the Lanark III is pretty wide. It reminds me of the Alden Barrie last, but not exactly. If you normally wear the same size in C&J, I would start with that size.

That sounds promising for me. I also find the 236 generous but it fits me quite well.
