Just arrived; my Winter Sales purchase from Alex at 77 Jermyn St.

This is the now discontinued Division Road make-up: Moray in Chocolate Hurricane Hide

The colour is everything I wanted it to be and I imagine this will be a great choice of leather and style for me.

No idea. Those are the ones that come with the boots. Too large for my liking.

This picture made me realize this might be the solution for my skinny ankles problem with some boot shafts being too wide for me. What size laces are you using?

Pleased I didn’t get them now mate.. we both 9! 😂
I’d got a hurricane via a good mate in USA delivered pre Xmas and I got the loafer instead

Hi all, hope everyone is enjoying the festivities in good health!

Just wanted some opinions... looking for a second pair of cordovan boots. I already have a pair of brown Harlech's. What do you think about adding a pair of whiskey cordovan Harlech's? I have a pair of whiskey cordovan Pembroke's (some German outfitter's MTO from many years ago). Non-cordovan stuff wise I have the Islay/Coniston/Galway and Skye 2.

The other option is a pair of used Galway 2s in brown cordovan.

I like the apron on the Galway... but equally dying to try out some Whiskey cords! MTO not an option for me at the moment.

Thank you all!

I love the Galway pattern but also the 341 last…

I’d go with another colour or style but those are the two options you’ve given. If the used Galway is decent price think about a resole to maybe Ridgeway to give yourself a different sole combo. Shoe Healer I think charges £80-100 for that. Just an idea and happy shopping..

I saw those Burgundy Shell loafers on Alex’s list. Love the colour but loafers aren’t my cup of tea.

I consider myself dead lucky, I’d lusted after the Moray when DR first did the C&J link up. Wasn’t worth the cost to import. I missed the coffee hurricane Islay in the last sale, I hesitated an hour too long. This time I hit reply/buy the moment I saw them.

They might get an early re-sole and some speed hooks back at the factory at some stage.

Great minds… I simply couldn’t hesitate when the offer cropped up! Enjoy yours… will be interested to read your thoughts when you’ve worn them.

The commando sole edge is surprisingly sleek and very well proportioned to the upper @Marmite89 . Whats your thought on it? Almost feels like a ridgeway from the edges while holding the shoe in hand

Gonna break up all this boot talk with today’s pair of shiny Lonsdales to close out 2023

I like the tallness the sole adds. You are right about proportions, but these aren’t small/delicate boots. These newer Commando soles are reasonably supple but still feel heavy on the feet vs Ridgeway (I’ve been wearing R/O Islay today). First impressions are everything I wanted, love the colour, love the cap toe, enjoying the 325 last, it’s a good fit on me, 9 is spot on in this case, not a thought of needing 0.5 down as I can do in some boots. I am loving the aesthetics of the all eyelets (lots of them!), but not convinced on how practical they might be. I work in an airport and go in/out of security all the time so get pulled for footwear random checks.

How does Alex's list (presumably what's available in the main Jermyn st store) differ from the online sale and how does one get hold of it?

I e-mailed Alex and asked her what "one-offs" she had in my size. She replied the next morning.

Great thank you, I guess it's worth it as it may differ from the online sale. Does the list include seconds/subs ?

I was never, and truthfully still feel guilty about wearing, loafers. The Harvard is the only one I’ve ever got that fits perfectly! They are ideal for warmer weather and holidays where packing light means they can be very useful. I have the brown and whiskey and did consider a colour 8 group order so was delighted to get on sale! I’m now a believer in get what you want not what you can so delighted we both (all by sounds of it) got what we actually wanted.
