I just recently ordered a CJ Edgware in dark brown and i will need a black shoes soon. I was thinking to get some Handgrade shoes from CJ but surprisingly there is no style that i like and my girlfriend too. I am considering to order a Westbourne (i hesitated to take a Belgrave) in black.
Am i alone or most of you prefer the ordinary CJ styles to Handgrades ?

The Rosemoor is gorgeous, as is the Belgrave and Brunswick.

How much are you spending on the handgrade? For a bit more you can probably find an EG or JL second, on the Bay, or B&S. I have a few C&J including HG, but since I've discovered JL and EG, I wouldn't go back, unless it was at a steep discount. The quality and construction difference is quite large at only an incremental cost increase.

I am itching for a pair of g&g so bad. Particularly the rogers in the deco range, but maybe with a medalion.

And +1 on the rosemoor I think its a beautiful shoe
