St. Crispin's Appreciation Thread

[MCBC1]

Sorry if this has been asked in previous threads but does Saint Crispins still have a USA presence in NYC? Are trunk shows occurring in the states?

Leffot

Also the Armoury. They have a full set of trial pairs there so you can get sized in person (which is what I did).

Just called the Armoury - they don’t carry them any longer.

Some people are trying to sell the Armoury trial pairs as real St Crispins pairs and that's a shame. Some people (the victims, unsuspected buyers) when they receive them they think that they are St Crispins made for the Armoury and keep it at that, but no, they are trial pairs for which one should not be willing to pay more than $50. So people out there who look to get a cheap pair on eBay watch out.

Can someone post an example of their green color? Specifically, CRU 5972. Wondering how these would look for a chukka. Comparing dark green as well (COR 612).

I feel like they may have multiple greens. I've seen dark greens (like british racing) and also light greens. They probably have a lot of options since they do their own dying of the CRU?

I am considering purchasing a stc model 529 D in special antique color. Does any one have a pair of these that they can post a picture of? They look great on the stc website however I would like to see a picture of how these shoes look after they have been walked in.

I have a pair in the 529D, but in a burgundy calf, if that'd help

Yes please
