That's nice! I have that same 318 Dartmouth in black calf and the 341 Worcester in dark brown suede, and I must say that i prefer the 318 last to the 341.

It's a great shame that there aren't more models on 318.

I have the Westfield as well. Love the shoes. Very versatile.

Any comparisons/insight between cj mink suede vs espresso? Impossible to tell anything from googling various photos.

Looking to get cj boot possibly the millbank.

The colors are pretty close, but I think espresso a tad darker. Mink is a tad lighter and a little grayish brown. I like it a lot and wish they did more models in that color. The Millbank looks like a nice shoe. I haven't seen the 363 last.

I have the Millbank, it's a great shoe(chukka).

Thanks guys, any pics of yours worn gm?

There are so many shades of brown unless you see them in real photos side by side it's really tough to pick out one you want ie dark brown, polo, mink, espresso, tobacco, etc.

The last does look nice and I think it would be a great elegant, casual boot.

BTw, I think I read somewhere plal stopped shipping to the US or something is that true? Best place to get cj's for a good price?

I think Pediwear is your best option now.

I'll try to get a pic tomorrow up. Yes the last to me is elegant but still pairable with jeans. Definitely one of my better purchases

Mink (L), Polo Brown (T), Snuff (R)

Mink is grayish (see Parker), Polo Brown reddish and snuff yellowish.

^excellent pic, thanks nobd

assuming espresso is the darkest variant at this point, think I would prefer if it weren't so for more contrast b/w pant and shoe

Yes. You're welcome.

I do not suppose that is a standard color as those offered by Pediwear and other resellers? They look much lighter.
