There is a pic of the shoes in the September issue of Esquire at the top of page 94. They'll be sold at the Manhattan store. They look good.

I think I remember this - IIRC, it's basically the Polo Darlton but in a tan or brown scotch grain leather.

I can't remember which model of C&J it is, but off the top of my head the Polo Darlton/J Crew show probably corresponds to the Swansea pattern (but with a leather sole and different materaial, I think the Swansea is a smooth waxy leather and dainite sole).

Edit: Looks like the Darlton/J Crew model is more of a Pembrooke/Cardiff pattern - compare
