They're both great - though I like the Telford just a tad more given that it does not have the heel broguing.

The Walcot is stunning Andrew.
Walcot, Telford and Perth are on my EG wishlist.

I've tried a little adelaide mix-n'-match...
Pelham without the heel counter and with a Lichfield toe cap in bauxite (606). Order placed only last week so a long wait on these.
Andrew,
Great to see more thoroughbreds from the Portnoy stables! Loving the walcots & the canterbury. Heck, I love them all.

I own a C&J Dalton which is also on the 348 last. However, this Westbourne looks more slim. How is this possible? I assume that all shoes on the 348 last have exactly the same form. Am I right? Or does the shoe size matter?Originally Posted by foto010101
Can someone comment on this? I ordered the Westbourne and found them to be extremely narrow when they arrived. It seemed to be, although I haven't seen another 348 last shoe in person, that they were narrower than the others as pictured. I'm trying to resolve this to figure out if it's worth putting in an order for the Drummond in suede Thanks!

Thanks!
The Drummond in suede was very narrow looking as well when I received it, but surprisingly, it fits fine (at least for me)

Well my Westbourne surpringly fit me as well, but the overall look was too narrow. With average trousers they looked odd to me...

Thinking of copping a pair of Westbournes in black, as my new court shoes. (Followed by some dark brown Tavistocks, if I can get them...but that's another story).
To those august personages who own multiple C&Js: is there a significance difference in the leather (as opposed to the construction) in Hand- and Benchgrade?
And if so, am I right in thinking this difference is minimised in relation to black shoes?

The quality of the leather used on C&J Benchgrades seems to be quite variable - on some pairs of my shoes the leather's quite stiff, while on other pairs it's much softer. In general though, I'd say that the leather used on Handgrades is nicer than that used on Benchgrades - it's noticeably softer and easier to polish, and doesn't crease as much.
Handgrade:
Benchgrade:
- you can see that the Handgrades are shinier and the creasing is less apparent.
Having said that, I'd happily still buy Benchgrades if I find something to my liking.
