These are beauts. Was looking at these before I bought the EG Greshams. They look even better in real life.

Chestnut on the 82:



They're certainly getting a lot of use so far...

My wife got very nice ones from Carmina Bootmaker (Spain) - I had a look at the men's version. Beauties as well. No deep link to the pic - sorry. Go to Men's collection --> Forest --> the last one is it.

you're right. this thread is making me reconsider my spending freeze.

The jodhpur is a wonderfully old-fashioned, traditional English boot. I'm not prepared to pay Edward Green prices for one (though I do own some Edward Green shoes), so I bought the Crockett & Jones "Cottesmore". Beautiful lines - slightly elongated, with a rounded toe.

The colour is quite superb - a rich 'aristocratic' chestnut brown, which is at least as good as Edward Green's chestnut, in my opinion. It's slightly darker, with a lovely rich colour.

I intended buying Crockett's chelsea boot, but it has an ugly squared off toe, which disrupts the lines of the boot. My eyes simply froze when I looked at it. It would be better on the 341 last. That said, and of course this is my own opinion, I believe that the jodphur is a more interesting style than the chelsea boot. It's less conspicious, eccentric, and fits wonderfully.

It depends really what you want - if you intend roughing it, R.M.Williams might be a better choice. Not as nice (leather, colour, etc not as good), but very robust and hardy boots all the same.

Sanders have some on offer - about the price of Loake. Due to the complexity of construction and the fact that more leather is used, I'd wouldn't drop down below Crockett's myself.

Horses for courses!

Personally, I'm looking for a pair of these Branchinis, a Jodhpur/Chelsea hybrid: I know stilmacher sold a pair on eBay a while back, sadly not in my size.
