However, they are probably due to be replaced in the not-too-distant future and I will do plenty of research on this purchase. With Lobb, I generally prefer to stay with the Prestige line (although I did stray on my brown derby wings and am pretty happy with them). Your thoughts would be appreciated when convenient.
Chris,

Actually the Black Captoe Oxford I chose was the Edward Green Chelsea., however if your going with John Lobb the Phillip II is the one to go with. The City isn't shabby either..
