I bought the Dover Austerity during a sale to try out JA and I must say that even at their full price, these are definitely worth it. The uppers feel supple yet hold their shape well. There is absolutely no breaking in and the shoes fit like a glove from the first wear. As per their advice, I went a full size down from my usual size and fitment was perfect. The leathers they're using also seem to come from reputable tanneries so there's no doubt they'll age well. Customer service was fantastic and the shoes were delivered the next day. Overall, a very pleasant experience and I've already ordered my 2nd pair. I will recommend JA to anyone who wants a expertly crafted shoe with good leathers and construction.
