Does anyone know if Crockett and Jones use different thickness of leather on their shoes and boots. I recently purchased a pair of Brecan and the leather feels much more supple than my Conistons and Isla but also feel thinner.
This could just be the difference between Scotch grain and country grain but my first thought when feeling them side by side is that the leather is thinner.
First day of wearing these. I have to say I'm impressed, they are very comfortable with the 325 last and the dainite sole is not as hard as it is on some other boots I have. The shop I bought them from had treated them nicely with Reno and polished the toecap a bit, esthetic which I like.
Do you also have Islay on the 365? If so, I'd be interested to know how they compare.
Has anyone owned/tried both C&J Harvard Shell Cordovan and Alden LHS, and could share thoughts on how they compare?
I’m looking to get some penny’s and I think I like the look of Alden better. But it’s not very available in my country and quite expensive.
The Harvard looks similar in terms of styling (I just slightly prefer the stitching and rounder toebox on the LHS) and quite a bit cheaper.
They do look beautiful.C&J Charlton in Chestnut antique calf and dark brown suede, last 341.
Those are fantastic balmoral boots and very comfortable.

I have 365 and 325. I much prefer 365. 325 maybe looks better but 365 feels so much better, to me anyway. So much so that I'm thinking of sending my conistons to be re-lasted to 365. Same size in both if that helps. 365 is a nicer, tighter fit for meDo you also have Islay on the 365? If so, I'd be interested to know how they compare.

Anyone interested in this as an MTO?
If you are a bit careful, that is not really a problem. And so far, I have been using neutral wax only on those boots.They do look beautiful.
Is it too difficult to polish / spray them considering the different materials?
