Thanks for sharing.

Crockett & Jones' boot Snowdon: This Boot is a veltdshoen, a field boot that has the most waterproof construction in traditional shoe making. Equiped with a Comnando Sole: Ready to conquer Mount Snowdon ... and the urban jungle ๐ And it smells like leathe...
My choice could be also Belstaff, but ...

... I had this on my mind: Burbbery Prosum Line espresso lamb suede trench coat with black shearling collar , from 2012. I know that I am showing off a bit๐. But Bestaff is also good ...
Brown: absolutely.

Black is just too.... well, black. Brown the way to go!
Haha Jaaa ๐: "Black is too black"

Tried the black, at the time because Now mit available in black anymore, on: Just black, nothing more ๐.
Heschung is top!
By: COUNT DE MONET : October 17th, 2019-04:58
Lovely country style boots, too. I am not sure if Heschung does veldtshoen construction: The upper leather is not stiched inside onto the welt, but folded outside and lies therefore ontop of the welt, ob the surface.

This is a pair of boots by Corcoran. The original โJump bootsโ used by Airborne Forces in WW2. Half the fun is high polishing the toe-cap. ...
Great model, from my favorite shoemaker

I am partial to the Coniston, which is a bit more civilized, but the veldtschoen construction of the Snowdon is better suited to a rugged use in the countryside (if one doesn't want to wear wellies). As for people asking why not black, the answer is: this...
Boris: you know about style!
By: COUNT DE MONET : October 17th, 2019-08:52
Very good answer in favour of brown. Conistons are beautiful too but remind me still of millitary boots, albeit very, very slightly only. The veldtshoen construction was one strong reason to pick this Snowdon. Edward Green makes also a lovely veldtshoe na...
Here some pictures from the Chelseas

My reserve, still unworn pair made on 202 last with a thick double leather sole (oak bark tanned leather, I think): And the very well worn, nearly in daily rotation pairs: These Edward Greens are my favorite shoes, hence in almost daily rotation. Regardin...
Top class, Count!

Just oozes with style. Your beautiful green Greens remind me to wear my green Santonis more often. Have a great weekend! Daniel

Glad you like them!
By: COUNT DE MONET : October 18th, 2019-05:54
I can see you also wearing them.
I have those exact ones
By: ChristianDK : October 21st, 2019-05:55
Bought 8 years ago. Very tough for snow and ice, albeit a bit heavy due to the thick rubber soles. They definately have a place in the wardrobe. I also have the "Skyefall" but they dont have the same grip on ice and snow.
they will look even nicer in 8 years
By: ChristianDK : October 21st, 2019-12:44
They patinate really well but do NOT use regular shoe polish. You need a special grease for this leather. This is completely transparent and the leather will look nice with all the little blemishes and scratches. You need to be tough on these boots and th...
Thank you for the tip

I was also thinking to ask C&J for shoe care for these particular boots. I use a cream for my bicycle sadle from Brooks (it is basically one piece of leather) a clear, soft cream. It melts at body temperature and makes the sadle soft and repellent. Maybe ...
That sounds about right
By: ChristianDK : October 21st, 2019-14:13
I will have a look in my polish box tomorrow and get back with the product Iโm using.
My pleasure

I have a watch fetish and I have a shoe fetish. Iโm just wondering when I should โcome out of the closetโ with it. ๐ ๐
