Hello gents,

I’m new here. I have always had an interest in classic menswear, and after buying my copy of Gentleman by Bernhard Roetzel I was convinced to buy my own pair of C&J Pembrokes. Reading this thread on Styleforum really helped me a lot in what to choose. As you can see in the picture I went for the brown Scotch Grain and I’m not regretting it! It’s a wonderful pair of shoes and the fit is amazing. Thanks for all your help in posting your experiences with C&J in this forum! Looking forward to discuss all the great aspects of classic men’s style with you.

Greeting from The Netherlands,

Welcome.

Brooks Brothers sale today includes cordovan! Specifically the 240 lasted boot is app. $660 before taxes. I think this is just about how much I paid a few years back.

Not sure if such an easy score will be available again as cordovan is usually excluded from their sales.

Decent size run, but they are out of my size.

Edit:

Shortwing open laced wingtips for $600 - This is tempting, I already have the Marlow wingtips, but I think I kind of like the 240 last better.

Plain toe open laced for $600

Suede captoe boots for $420

Use code BC1818

It brings the boots down to $560.

Unfortunately you can use the code just once. I used it up on a pair of Alden unlined LHS

Thanks, just ordered!!! Pretty great deal. Reviews seemed to say go down 1/2 and use your Alden Trubalance size so that's what I did. Hopefully they will fit ...

Hey all -

So, first I will acknowledge I am a moron.

I ordered a pair of Lowndes off the Barney's sale at 30% off. They had one pair only and it happened to be my size. Or so I thought. I didn't realize they were selling in American sizes, not British.
So I ordered an 11 thinking I was getting a British 11 and instead got a British 10.

Can't return obviously w/ Barney's going under.

Now - my real foot size is a 10.5 EE or so American. I usually wear a 12 in shoes that don't come in widths. I can get the shoes on, they just feel a bit tight.

Should I try a stretcher or should I just try to sell them?

Thanks,

I'd personally try to sell.

Unreasonably excited that it is raining in SF. Validates my decision to wear Grasmere today

Despite my best efforts, my Grasmeres (11G) just will not get comfortable and I had to list them on Ebay. Love the looks, just wished I enjoyed them more, even after changing to leather soles.
