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

    These just came back from Spa treatment in Northampton.They are ageing with grace and are extremely comfortable. I went with a commando sole again as I think its aesthetic suits the boots, even if I sometimes get small stones stuck between the cleats. The ridgeway sole is less prone to this...

    I think most British makers name their shoes after places in the British Isles, which includes Ireland. Shannon is another example of such a name. Speaking of... (Laced cross-bar, as they should be :P)

    Saphir Dubbin or Obenauf's HDLP for protection, but I mix it up with some saphir cream if I want to revive the colour a little.

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

    I always found that re-dampening the shoe (wet cloth/sponge) and letting it dry in a well ventilated area away from any heat source got rid of 'waters stains'*. Once dry, treat with cream and polish. *Waters stains aren't actually made by the water itself. When leather shoes get wet sometimes...

    That’s odd. I used a different host as Imgur was down. Perhaps if I attach the pictures…

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

    You see this regularly with roughout suede / waxed suede. The smooth surface is due to the suede fibers being stuck together by the wax from the tanning procedure. Even light contact will leave a mark on roughout suede though this mark is not a cut but more a disturbance of the suede fibers in...

    Some seaside Snowdon use and care. (Also, I’m no longer affiliated to C&J though I am still very much a fan of their products.)

    Chelsea boots – a little embarrassing?!

    I once heard someone say "stupid questions don't exist, but stupid people do". I liked that.

    I'm not quite sure what you mean. Any private member organising a GMTO surely must do this in coordination with a manufacturer? I have been a member here since before I worked for C&J and gave you the heads up when I started working for C&J in 2013, which seemed the right thing to do. Since...

    Sorry mate, as C&J is not an official affiliate of the forum I have been told by forum admin not to post anything that can be deemed commercial. This is a bit of a grey area, so l will no longer actively participate on the forum for the time being.
