Crockett & Jones for Ralph Lauren Cordovan (Marlow, Darlton, Gifford, Garran, Lindrick, McCallum, Rh

[sportin_life]

Eddie's deals on RL shoes are great and he is completely reliable. I think I've purchased 7 pairs of cordovans from him the last couple of years. Hopefully he gets some more of my size in stock, can't ever have enough!

How do you guys touch this up? Bending in the soles of my marlows has caused them to crackle and the factory edge dressing has been coming off? Parts still remain, though. I thought about sanding them down and applying that clear edge dressing from AE. Thoughts?

In for a suggestion on this too, happened on my lindricks and so far have just left it.

I'd just use edge dressing.
If you want to get the lacquer/acrylic finish on the edges back, one option is to sand it off and use fiebings acrylic resolene dye/top-finish (and not get it on the uppers)

I don't know when RL stores will have them on sale, but you can get them from a StyleForum member here:

I swear I've read on this thread somewhere that folks have had luck using AE's Chili edge dressing to clean up Lindrick and Marlow models.

I use AE chili and think it looks good.

I do and always have.

Only partially related, but this is an interesting development if you're looking for a Lindrick alternative:

Hey all,
I'm thinking of buying my first pair of nice boots, and I really like the Lindricks. I've heard that they are TTS or possibly half a size bigger.

My usual issue is that I have quite wide feet (and low instep), and my feet usually don't fit around the ball of the foot, or around the toes. The only shoes I've got for comparison is several pairs of Red Wings, size 9, which are perhaps a tad too big.

There's currently a pair of Lindricks in size 9D (for 700$) on the marketplace, so my question's quite simple. Do the Lindricks have a spacey toe-box, and do you think I might fit in the same size as my Red Wings? I live in Sweden so I wouldn't be too happy to ship them over the ocean just to find out that they don't fit.

Thanks guys!

IMO Thursday is as as good as Monday when it comes to Marlows.

Given your comments above, I would recommend TTS for you.

TTS is a terrible term. I'm not sure what you mean by half a size bigger. If you mean that they run half a size bigger, I think that is the general consensus. I've never tried on Lindricks, but wear my Marlow wingtips and full strap penny loafers half size down from my Brannock size. If you have wide feet I would go with your Brannock size. Half size down will be too small for you IMO. Not sure if I would go half size up from Brannock.

Nice shoes and socks my friend. Everyday makes a great Marlow day.
