Hello fellas, quick question! I am thinking of pulling the trigger on some Burgundy Peal & Co./Crockett & Jones Captoe Adelaides in Burgundy color made on the 341 last before they will dissappear forever considering Brooks Brothers seems to have made the decision to give up their production runs with Crockett & Jones as far as I know (but feel free to correct me if I am wrong). Anyhow, the only C&J I currently own is a 325 lasted Ralph Lauren Marlow Penny loafer in brown shell Cordovan which I absolutely love and fit well. However, the shoes are in a US 12 size and the Adelaides I am eyeing are in a 11,5. according to the seller on Ebay. I am curious if those will fit or if I should simply wait until an unused size 12 might pop up on Ebay at some point. I have no idea about the 341 last and have never tried one on, so I don't know anything about the fitting properties and or whetehr there is a difference between the 325 and 341 in terms of whether half a size would kill my feet or not? What are your thoughts? Pull the trigger and try, maybe having to return them and or simply wait it out for a size 12? I'd appreciate any and all input, thanks!
