Anywhere in London I can try on a pair of SC's?

Saint Crispins got a new site, looks like a collaboration from all of its vendors, looks good though.

Another small taste of #3...

I have the exact same problem on 522B; creasing on toe cap. It seems their toe stiffeners arent extended enough.

Just saw it via the link on Leffot.

Looks a lot better than it did before, that's for sure.

Is this the chiseled last or something bespoke?

Anyone able to compare the fit of the the chiseled relative to the classic?

I'll bring it up again, does anybody know the difference between CRU and FUN? I have both, and FUN looks like it has more pores and slightly more antiquing, but I am curious of the "official" difference.

nice shoe collection PB!  I especially like the austerity brogue.  I believe that CRU is crust, as mentioned.  The FUN ones have a bit more antiquing, and are 'less matte' in terms of finish.  I have a picture of the various swatches available in SC, and that looks to be the main difference.

Is the finishing the only difference between CRU and FUN?

Yes it is. Can easily compare the lasts. If only they had something that showed their colors.

I'm not sure how they could possibly represent everything they offer, because there are so many different colors and combinations possible. However If you go to the top of the web page to About Us and then Look Book 2014. After you are there then download the Look Book it gives you a better idea of the various colors and combinations they offer based on previous shoes they have sold.

That's not good at all - especially at this price point. I would send that pic to the retailer / or StC.

How is the fit?

I just bought some amazing Saint Crispin's Chukkas in the shrunken leather. I wore them once in rain and they have these spots that will not come out. I sent it back to them to refinish the leather and after wearing once more in a light rain, they spotted again. Polish will not cover it up.

Has anyone here experienced this with the SC Shrunken Leather?

Should I just keep it and live with it or get a refund? It may not be that noticeable ti the passerby but I know it's there and $1660 is a lot to pay for a shoe with spotting.

Your thoughts anyone?

What did you end up doing with this pair of shoes? I'm sure StC will take another crack at the refinishing or give you a new pair of shoes.

A picture is always helpful. As said, I have no problem combining the 609 color.

These do look really great. Might sound silly but I really love the laces as well.

How is the fit?
