** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)

[RogerKaputnik]

Greetings! I wonder if anyone has any experience with the 336 last? I am really interested in that James Bond Molton on this last. My current C&J is a Coniston in an 7.5 UK E, which is just a bit narrow for my taste. Does the 336 offer a more generous fit? Thanks!

Is there that much of a difference between say a C&J versus an Edward Green in your estimation? Enough to make one say three times the price of the other?

I'm just curious because personally I have found plenty to like in both catalogues but I wonder what quantifiable differences the pricing variation justifies in this case.

I guess more narrowly, 'liking' a design is purely a subjective assessment but how do we as consumers objectively differentiate?

I don’t think objectivity comes into it that much when talking about shoes over £400.

I like my C&J pairs, they are all comfortable, with good quality leather - I’ve been satisfied with every pair, which isn’t true of the next level down - but EG has a better standard of finishing, both on the uppers and soles. Objectively worth 2 and a bit times the price? Probably not, but I find C&J a bit staid and not as elegant or well executed in design in comparison with EG. I still like them, but an equivalent EG design has more to it, and that’s my preference.

Crafty’s point is a good one, EG only make 2-350 or so pairs a week, I’d imagine C&J make way more.

Looks like the Ecom store goes live 3/8.

Anyone heard if they are nixing mail order or not?

Basil and I prepped as many as we could for shipping yesterday, the few we did not get done yesterday will go on Thursday when we are next in. Due to our landlord/lockdown we only have access to the shop twice a week at the moment.
