.... Edgeware is a style by Crockett and Jones... Not a brand..?
They haven't doubled in price.
Hmm really? That doesn't look like cordovan to me. It looks like scotch grain calf or something? Like the leather looks too wrinkled near the vamp to be cordovan rolls. Am I wrong there?Seems to be the Galway boots. In cordovan.

Is the Galway a C&J model also? Or are you referring to an EG Galway?
Ah thanks, that makes sense. I'm relatively new in my understanding of quality shoe/leather so it is still a learning process in identifying things. I think this new boot is going to be really awesomeI'm talking about the original one WHICH is in cordovan.
This is indeed not the case for this pair.
FYI, I'm not sure if you're on it or not, but there is a GMTO for a C&J boot that is basically the RL Gianni going on currently. Just wanted to throw that out there, as I know they are looking to fill the last few spots.Yes, I have confirmed that it is indeed the new Galway model which will be available around Sept/Oct. Perhaps this will fill the gap left by the discontinuation of the RL Gianni. Thanks.
Yes thanks I do know that they are Cleverley and expected that they are by CJ as I have other Cleverleys which certainly are - but what I am saying is having got them in the flesh I am not sure that they are actually by CJ.
Focused PSA.
Mr Start (in store in London, UK), which I am strangely on the mailing list for is selling Conistons in brown and black for GBP 215 and GBP 210, respectively.

No, I can't see the numbers there inside - that's one reason I didn't think they seemed like CJ made as seems to be the usual case for rtw Cleverleys.
Got my Mr Porter Kingsman boots, love them but not sure that they are CJ?
I never had Conistons etc but they fit firmer than any CJ 11E I ever had in fact I usually take 10.5 UK in CJ so lucky I went for 11
Anyone who knows their Conistons etc will probably be able to clarify but I never saw a CJ with size in a window a la EG?
in that case based on the details/last shape etc my guess would be Alfred Sargent, perhaps some version of the AS Cambridge http://www.afinepairofshoes.co.uk/c...asc/products/alfred-sargent-country-cambridge
AS also does windows in the lining, but typically has more info in them than the "11E" on the kingsman boot
