**The Official Shoe Care Thread: Tutorials, Photos, etc.**
Munky, I got some regular sized 8oz bottles of Lexol conditioner and Neetsfoot oil from Motorgeek UK last spring. http://www.motorgeek.co.uk/cgi-bin/ecom.cgi?Command=BrandSearch&db_manid=14 Well worth a try and even in these sizes they go a long way.- The7Ups

+1000 BTW Great job on the MTOs Brummie, IMO the rough out material and the sole unit gives the last shape a nicer silhouette than the regular Snowdon. very nice.- The7Ups

One edit to the sourcing of the C&J Skye boot. Was just on the Ben Silver website and they also sell the calf leather Skye, theirs comes on a dainite sole unit, I think the regular C&J model comes on a leather sole so nice to have some choice...- The7Ups

** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)
Both Skye calf and shell versions are indeed C&J shops and C&J mail order only. I think the calf is around 425GBP inc. VAT and 600GBP inc. VAT for the shell. There'll be P&P ontop of that if you get them by mail order. You should contact them via their website to check on availability of...- The7Ups

** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)
Quote: Good spot Brummie, 30GBP cheaper than C&J and free shipping on items over 250GBP. Good deal. I have a real problem with C&J's frankly outrageous international shipping charges for single pairs (30GBP). Islay from C&J mail order will set you back 455GBP all in with no VAT back for EU...- The7Ups

The Shell Cordovan, non-Alden Shoe and Boot Thread
Looks like Herring Shoes are no longer holding stock of Church's Grafton and Shannon in Burgundy Crup (Cordovan). They've added the limited sizes they have left to the sale and seconds section which you can access from the home page http://www.herringshoes.co.uk/ There seem to be more...- The7Ups

Quote: This Brummie, navy just doesn't do it for me (btw I have handled the black scotch grain that C&J uses on Onslow and Grasmere and I don't like it either so perhaps I have a double negative bias here). Having said all that they have a nice distinct silhouette and look good on you...- The7Ups

^^ No probs. Some nice heritage stuff on Purdey and not just the footwear collection which used to be more extensive. The Grain Leather Twin Strap Boot look stunning. http://www.purdey.com/clothing-accessories/mens-grain-leather-twin-strap-boot-boot042.aspx Unfortunately oh so very expensive.- The7Ups

^Not sure about them brummie. Not having seen them in person I don't like the photos on the C&J website. Bit too fashion fwd for me.

** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)
I don't think the OP was implying that c&j are discontinuing Ashdown and all bluchers completely, just the shell model. Most c&j shell shoes have or had calf leather equivalents. TBH I think the rtw shell range needs a bit of a shake up, the shoe list has been pretty static for a while...- The7Ups

***The official Alden thread *** Share enthusiasm, reviews, sizing, advice, and photos.
I’m based in Europe and I’ve previously purchased Alden directly from the US therefore it’s frustrating that Alden now prevents US retailers shipping product internationally. It’s not as if the brand is particularly well known here where it is a niche heritage name stocked by a small bunch of...- The7Ups

**The Official Shoe Care Thread: Tutorials, Photos, etc.**
Yup, that's my reading of it too. But it raises the question are Church's correct in saying that a toppy can negatively alter a shoe or is this complete BS. Alden and Tricker care inserts to the best of my recollection don't mention this and C&J doesn't provide care instructions with their...- The7Ups
