Got my wife into some goodyear welted boots at last. She's very happy with her Olivia's, not something you see everyday.

Last 373 does not fit me very well, unfortunately. But it is not hard to imagine the superb quality.
I own the Seymour 2 on last 358 in both black and burgundy.

Thank you, Gentlemen, for all the "likes" received for my first post #20546. With this post my colour preferences may become clearer and I hope you can enjoy the more or less sublime beauty of these Cliffords, after frequent wear over the past two years….

I never saw them for sale in this color? Burgundy?

Yes, that's Burgundy. I am the victim of the cursed blessing that my local store carrying C&J is about 400 yards from my office and I guess about 40% of the C&J stock he carries is made at his special request. He frequently orders Lonsdales in Cordovan, for instance.

Wonderful. My favorite C&J color is Chestnut Antique from the Handgrade line. I had Pembroke made in that color, it was single MTO, expensive

Only yesterday I saw the plain Wholecut (not sure whether the model is called "Scarsdale No.x" or so) on last 367 in Chestnut Antique stocked. Amazing burnishing...
My Belgraves in same colour do not even come close, although beautiful..

Can anyone who owns the Shell Marlows for Ralph Lauren confirm if they are narrower than standard 325 last?

I think I heard this somewhere and it would rule them out for me.

Which marlow? Tassel, shortwing, full strap... I have the full strap and to me, they are noticeably more snug than my 325 lasted pairs. I've also lost track of what the consensus equivalent in sizes between C&J standard sizing and those made for PRL. I wear 8UKE for the 325 and have a 9D fullstrap for PRL. I believe the understanding was that they are made in an 8UK D = 9D US for PRL. Might be wrong, someone please correct me if I am so I can edit my post.
