CF Stead Repello is a split suede, although a high-quality one. I sent an email to C&J a while back specifically asking about the Lanark 3 in brown suede. Their response, “The suede on the Lanark is split calf suede.” (I was also surprised at split suede). FYI, C&J’s handgrade line uses un-split reverse suede.

I still enjoy the split suede Lanarks and find them to be of excellent materials and construction.

You inspired me to wear my pair today

Good description of a similar footshape. I'd rate 4497 my favorite, and 325 my second favorite out of 10-15 or so different lasts. Appears I now need a C&J on the 365 last to confirm.

Unfortunately this is only used in boots and not shoes (I like boots, but don't wear them too often).

You can still make special order for shoes with 365 if you want. I will do it as well in future.

I stopped by the CJ shop on Jermyn Street today to check out a few models from their winter collection. The main ones I was interested in were the Kelso, Elgin, and then the Chepstow. I already own a dark brown suede derby boot in the Eskdale 2, so I wasn’t sure if getting something so similar made sense. However, I ended up really liking the Chepstow, especially since it’s on the same last as the Eskdale.

I also have a dark brown suede chukka boot, so I’m leaning towards getting the Chepstow in mushroom suede instead. One thing I don’t understand is the pricing – the espresso suede version is £545 (same as the leather version), but the mushroom suede is £475. Does anyone know why there’s such a difference in price for the same boot in different suede colours?

Thank you for sharing!
I didn't like Elgin on marketing photos and videos, but here with jeans on more real photos they look very good.
