From the photos, the difference looks pretty minimal. The creasing on both appears to be far less than my AE, though perhaps on par with my SF Tramezza.

Gentlemen,

I've finally answered the call and am now the happy owner of a pair of Westbourne I ordered from P. Lal on the 5th. Shoes were shipped on the 9th and arrived at my office this morning. The service from P. Lal was impeccable from start to finish. Alka Doshi was very accomodating in answering my questions.

I am glad to report they paid careful attention to detail to ensure customer satisfaction: the shoes were inserted in their shoebags, wrapped in tissue paper and double boxed. Brown wrapping paper was taped over that AND twine attached around as a finishing touch. Old school parcel, NICE!

My sincere apologies for the crappy picture taken with my phone...

^Agreed, I am but an amateur with no aspiration of joining the professional ranks.

Can another owner attest to how theirs have held up so far?

Here's my pair, from Plal. Oddly, they were a little darker/redder than the standard C&J chestnut everywhere except the tongue. I'm happy since I actually love the color.

I'm pretty sure those shoes won't fit me...
