🤫 Shh. Don’t go making my wait for my pairs longer.

Don't worry. Not much of an audience for these around these parts. I was just sticking up for the American aesthetic in these Northampton neck of the woods.

Who am I kidding mine are bespoke not MTO anyways. I’ll see them *waves hands* eventually.

Most of the CJ fans (and below that price point) aren't necessarily paying up for these. Notice also, mums the word on Seiji on the EG thread. Those boys don't mind paying, so I don't need their orders tying up my orders.

This….also just for those considering his shoes, that $1,600 is his starting point. Trust me, it quickly gets to $2,000 +.

You'd be surprised. I got a build of a standard shoe for pretty much that price, but yes the good stuff adds up quickly.

What do you mean by the good stuff in this context?

Shell is about the only thing that would add significantly to the price on an MTO pair.

Shell, other special skins, modifications made to existing last, trees, toe plates, design modifications, skin stitching..off the top of my head.

If you wanted say this shoe

That's cordovan.. Immediately add $550-$600 to the price.

Not to mention considering the build quality, they are worth it.

Remember I said no Northhampton RTW/MTO/non-Bespoke made shoe company can produce a superior product to his, most of that comment is based on the build quality.

You want an Alden type shoe made better, being American made, while arguably looking better (depending on personal preferences), this would be it.

And if you want to order that shell loafer remotely before he visits, add another $1600+ for your first pair in another pattern you want (or don’t want) before grabbing that loafer.

Fantastic. Just as I was sitting here wondering if I have too many Conistons in my collection. ;-)

For the hatch grain Coniston, is the 375 last roomier at the toes or is that just the visual effect because of how the photo was taken?

Did someone say too many Conistons?

There is an excerpt from the CJ last guide a few pages back, but in short the 375 has the same toebox as the 325, just a narrower heel.

I would like to try a Coniston on a different last. The latest Division Road make-up is on the 378, which I would consider for a future MTO. Other alternatives could be 224, 228, 335, 365.

All boots below on 325 except the hatch grain on 375.

I obviously don't have too many Conistons.

Is that a burgundy grain one I see there or do you have two dark brown grain ones? The hatch grain pair has me tempted but sadly I will not be in an area where the weather will allow me to wear boots for some time so cannot get away with ordering them now. Not to mention the hassles of mad bonkers import duties I have to put up with at the moment.

Looks like you need a black shell Coniston on the 375 last
