I found a pair of Jones Bootmaker oxfords in the charity shop alongside some nice Russell & Bromley suede loafers. The loafers are a lovely pale brown but some marks so I'll probably dye them a darker colour.
The Jones oxfords aren't great. Hopefully you're happy with your spend but I'd have said to try find a pair from TK Maxx for less, they have some old stock Chapman & Moore among others, at a lower price than what you paid at Jones.
If you can look about, definitely have a check in TK Maxx or elsewhere before wearing those Jones outside.
Spent hours yesterday and today stripping the Jones' Oxfords back with isopropyl alcohol, then applying gratuitous layers of dubbin and cobbler's cream inside and out. Difficult to reach a consistent matte shine. May give in and high polish them again.
