Advise of yours: Double-Buckle Boot (C&J Chamberley), Three-Buckle Boot (SL Tobar) or a classic Jodphur Boot?

Dear satorial colleagues,

as I enjoy wearing dress boots in the autumn and winter with my three-piece-suits as well casualy with my jeans, jeans or leather jacket, I am looking for a buckle-boot of sorts.

I own three Chelsea boots (black with commando sole and fur lining for the winter, in chestnut with dainite sole (refurbished and updated shoe project) for rainy and bad weather, and in light cognac with leather sole from Heinrich-Dinkelacker also for summer), a new C&J Balmoral-Boot in black calf with brown suit (beautiful!!) and a Heinrich-Dinkelacker full-brogue Geroge-Boot in dark brown with a rubber sole.

I do not own a classic chukka-boot, jodphur boot or buckle-boot. Hence I thought, given that I already own 5 pair of boots either an additional formal-casual option like a classic Chukka-Boot, another lace-up boot like the Heinrich-Dinkelacker George-Boot, or the double-buckle boot "Chamberley" von C&J, which looks awesome, or a Jodphur-Boot in dark-brown or a the Septieme-Largeur Tripple-Buckle-Boot "Tobar" in a medium- or dark brown patina as something more fashionable.

I pair all five boots with suits as well as with my jeans and chinos. The chelseas with the vibram commando sole I only wear in really bad weather and snow with a black mirror gloss on the toes. The new Balmoral-Boot fit perfectly to my suits. Hence the C&J "Charlton" in Chestnut calf & dark brown suede would be also nice.

What would you advice?

Best regards

Pascal

v nice but they are not exactly chukkas. if you wanted something more casual or easier to put on I might suggest Moltons (I love my roughout suede) or Kew ..or even Kempton in Snuff suede if you can find it.

I suspect you have already made your choice - what did you end up getting ? do share a picture!

Not yet. The Chamberley I tried 4 weeks ago when I was in London. It is a nice boot. However, the leather felt a little bit stiff. With a suit it has a fashion-forward look. A classic black-calf chucka on a slim last with a dainte sole would be the more conservative choice for a winter boot.

Or a balmoral boot from Carmina or TLB Mallorca with a rubber sole for the winter. That would be the most stylish choice. I really start to like balmorals with my suits, chinos and dressier dark indigo jeans.

Best regards

I think your choice of words hints at the right solution. The jodhpur boot is classic, those 2-/3-buckle "monk" boots are not. They are an abomination in my opinion
