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

    To all you Islay owners out there. Was the tongue stitched to the upper on your boots? Mine arrived yesterday, and to my surprise, unlike my Coniston and Skye, the tongue was not stitched to the upper.

    Shoe Damage Report & Shoe P0rn Central - Part II

    I just came across this article: http://theagatineeyelet.wordpress.com/2010/11/22/welts-part-1/ Looking at the illustrations, I have a question regarding the stitch labeled 48. Alden shoes featuring a storm welt has this stitch, however it was my understanding this stitch was faux. Could...

    **The Official Shoe Care Thread: Tutorials, Photos, etc.**

    The C&J shoe trees are not unfinished, so I guess their ability to absorb moisture is very limited, if at all existing. I guess that also makes them ideal to trap moisture inside the shoe, especially since the fit is very good. However, one would think if the shoes rested long enough between...

    That might be.. I did not notice any smell, other than the smell of (relatively) new leather..

     Hmm, I usually wait an hour or two before I insert the shoe trees.. But it seems likely the shoe trees are the cause.. How do I exterminate this? I noticed tendencies of this on my other boots too.

    Just noticed this on my C&Js as I was doing some maintenance.. Is that mold?

    It seems that Cordovan has far greater abrasion resistance than calf, however it also seems Cordovan is severely lacking tensile strength. This is evidenced by the difficulty of lasting Cordovan (as seen in a previous posted video). The explanation for these characteristics seems to be that...

    I got the Skye converted to Dainite in January and they are just awesome! I don't regret at all the extra £60 for the Dainite conversion - they are awesome winter boots!

    Does anyone know if C&J uses metal or wooden shanks? If they use metal shanks, has anyone activated the security alarm on airports with their C&Js?

    The Watch Appreciation Thread (Reviews and Photos of Men's Timepieces by Rolex, Patek Philippe, Brei

    Don't worry about it, I appreciate all help I can get. I think I want to "casualise" it at least a little bit, and I was also thinking that adding a gator strap would be nice. I thought a mid-brown/tan gator strap would be nice.. You don't think the colors would play well together? Would a...

    The Watch Appreciation Thread (Reviews and Photos of Men's Timepieces by Rolex, Patek Philippe, Brei

    Thanks guys, I was not aware that this thread is mainly for mechanical watches.. I understand it would have been more valuable if it had not been a quartz, but I still holds sentimental value to me.. Is the manufacture of decent quality, taking into account its a quartz? I'm looking to replace...

    The Watch Appreciation Thread (Reviews and Photos of Men's Timepieces by Rolex, Patek Philippe, Brei

    Hey guys, first post in this thread.. My late grandfather left me a watch, and I have very little information on it. As far as I can tell the manufacturer is Junghans, but I have not been able to dig up much information on them on the internet.. On the box of the watch it says Starline. Can...

    Thanks for the info. I'm slightly jealous on the C&J longwing.. Guess I'll just have to keep an eye on the bay

    Crockett & Jones Lowndes *ANOTHER PRICEDROP*

    Thanks man! I used Pecard's leather dressing and rubbed it in on the sole. After a day or so, the sole had absorbed everything, and I caked it on pretty good.
