I have a pair of hand grade brogues-- the Downing, in antique tan. It's one of a handful of models available in a wide fitting.SM67 wrote:Encooper
On a different subject what's the feeling on here about Crockett and Jones shoes? I bought a couple of pairs to try, they seem reasonable value - what's the quality like long term?
As far as I can tell, construction and materials are very good. Same general bracket as Edward Green, although if a knowledgeable person said they were a hair less good I'd give them the benefit of the doubt. After all, they do cost a noticeable amount less and one should expect a little less in exchange.
There are other grades below Hand Grade-- general impression on the discussion boards is that they represent fair value at retail, and very good value if at discount.
Any luck on the linen suit project?
