Got my black suede chelsea boots in the mail yesterday. Paid about $30 in duties over the phone before delivery. The shape is excellent. The black suede seems less "grainy" than the pictures of the tan suede. It's very smooth and almost more like nubuck.

I'm in NJ and got hit with ~$24 in customs for my black calf cropped jodhpurs as they were a lil over $200.  
could u post some pics? For some reason all the pics I've seen from customers look really bad and I just don't see why they would look so much worse than suede. I really wanted to get them but all the bad pics scared me

I'll try to post pics tomorrow, but what I can tell you is that I am very pleased with them. My pair didnt have the issue of the pull tab being a different color (tan), my pull tabs on the back are both black leather. The quality of the leather itself is very nice as well as the shape.

I haven't seen a pair of the Chelsea boots in the walnut color yet, so I'll upload a couple as soon as I get my pair. I'm curious as to why no one has posted some yet, I think it's the safer color to get so I expected more pictures.

I just received a pair of the black calf cropped jodhpurs (41). The length is fine but the width is pretty tight on one foot. Would sizing up help or is this particular calf leather known to stretch a bit?

To be a provide a little more detail, I'd say the boots are snug on my left foot and tight on my right.

Black suede side zip came in today with no customs fee to US east coast state, definitely a great product for the price despite the OD packaging.

As for sizing, I am a solid size 13 if not a little bigger so I ordered 46.5 which I thought would be equivalent of a us 13 but the size stamped on the inside of the shaft says its equivalent to a US 12.5, feels about right since there a touch tight. If they stretch a little they'll be perfect.  

I plan on wearing them a lot to break them in so I'll take some pics in a couple weeks.  I would love to see a pair of black calf that have a decent amount of wear if anyone has pics they would like to share.


Im a 13, would you suggest going 47?
