I too have experienced that the Handgrade models feel just a bit more refined in their fit and finish - worth the jump in price in my opinion. Out of all the C&J shoes I’ve worn, nothing fits better than my Lonsdale on the 363 last.

They actually look much better in the wild compared to their website library photo. What color are they, as they do not appear to be available online in that particular shade?
Have been an AE customer for a while but have been wanting to take a step up to to CJ. However, I was waiting until I was in NY and had any free time (usually I breeze in for like 10 hours then out again) to go get sized in the store.
So last week I finally made it into the store in Manhattan. Great service and incredibly friendly. I, as a Los Angeleno, was not used to the humidity and like a fool had walked from Midtown. Basically got sized on most of their lasts and picked up a pair of brown pebble grain Conistons and a matching belt which I am wearing today.
Love the fit, feel and finish of the shoes. The handgrade models are definitely worth the price for the quality - but some shoes in the main collection don't have a comparative model in Handgrade.
Have also become dangerously intrigued by their MTO service. View attachment 1209256 View attachment 1209257
Lovely boots!
I found the handgrade range tends to be more the dress side of things rather than the country styles.
I suppose that makes sense in that the country styles are more rugged and possibly don’t lend themselves as well to the channeled soles etc.
Huh. I have a pair on order with Sky Valet here in DC. Now I need to call him.
that's a pretty new style, why discountinue it?I was told by two different C&J stores last week that they are redoing their line up (hence the sales) and the Harvard II loafer will not be coming back. It's a shame, it's been my go-to loafer for a while.
Both are fantastic. How come they are displaying new models already?I just saw these new CJ double monks Renton 3 in the Paris store. The new double monks are on the 367 last.
