** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)

I'm about to pull the trigger on some C&J for Ralph Lauren shell bluchers - the ones a put up a picture off a week ago. I have no experience of shell so just wanted to check if buying an older, albeit unworn pair carries any risks. I know these haven't been available for quite a while now, maybe 5 or more years. I've read some horror stories online about older pairs cracking due to drying out.

First pair

It doesn’t look like the usual C&J writing, at least to me.

It is the older C&J markings

Could I get some expert eyes on this? This was listed as a US8 41 equivalent but I'm not sure that's right as the inside is marked 8. I've heard CJ had some models made for the US w/ US sizing, but I've also read that those are usually listed with standard US widths. The width is also listed as C if I'm reading this right - from what I understand that is their typical women's UK width, or narrow to say the least?

I must admit, I'm a bit confused.

Thanks for taking a look!

Looks like C&J to me. I have never known C&J to show US sizing on their own branded shoes. Their shoes for Peal and Ralph Lauren are purportedly US sizing.

Anyone in possession of a pembroke in black scotch grain on vibram cleated? If yes could you share some pics of it in action?

C&J sold at Barney’s long ago were marked with US size

I hope these help a little:

Here a comparison with Pembroke in brown wax calf. Despite being the same size, the black ones are noticeably roomier by about 1/4 size. The sole, on the other hand, is much more comfortable than the danite, completely insulates from the ground and has great traction.

I highly recommend them, they are bulletproof and apart from a cream once every few months they
don't need anything else

C&J for Ralph Lauren is in US sizing. Same for Brooks Brothers.

Thanks Mate. Your pics very helpful. They look quite cool. The vibram cleated gives them a smart (less formal) look.

The store used to be based in part of Turnbull and Asser but email was kept on primarily for gmto

Turnbull and Asser now sell 1000 GBP Shirts.
