For some reason or other we don’t place many orders for loafers or casuals as they say across the pond. But every now and then something special comes our way. The Piccadilly is one of Edward Green’s “Core Line” models. A classic penny strap but this one with twill insets, the perfect shoe to sip [...]
This Pierre Corthay wingtip has been coming on strong for a while. Normally produced on the 001 last we have also had it made up on the 002, needless to say both are very handsome. What distinguishes this shoe from more traditional wingtips is the low profile of the wing, a more modern toe medallion, [...]
The Westbury monk strap by Church’s is one of their classic styles. When our client D.G. requested these two pair we knew there was going to be a twist. That’s because he had previously ordered a pair of Grafton’s made up as a spectator, which was very unique. I like it when customers have shoes [...]
We love hearing from our clients, so this letter was music to our ears. Nothing is more satisfying to us than hearing how much pleasure you derive from maintaining your footwear. Thank you Mr. A. for sharing with us your new-found pleasure, and keep up the good work. Hey Steven, I don’t know if you [...]
The Gaziano & Girling Burnham is a wholecut Chelsea boot. Wholecuts are very handsome and comfortable because they’re made from a single piece of leather and have no seams. They’re also much more labor intensive to produce. The owner of this pair had them made up to wear on his motorcycle, thus the Scotch Grain [...]
This week we’re previewing the new “Hobo” boot by Rider Boot Co. delivery is imminent. These are great looking casual boots made up in Mohawk (rough out) leather and Sestriere soles. We’ve taken plenty of reserve orders but there are still a few sizes available. Along with the Hobos is one of the new Psycho [...]
As we gear up for winter we thought it a good time to add a new Alden All-Weather Walker. This time we chose the Norwegian Split Toe which features Alden’s famous handsewn apron, in brown calf. The exceptional insulating quality of genuine plantation crepe makes it an ideal outsole for winter wear, with reinforced leather [...]
We’re not recommending you follow our suede cleaning method but we thought you might like to see how we do it. We hear many comments from customers about how delicate they think suede is, well guess what it’s not all that delicate. Alden’s sources their suede from Charles F. Stead & Co. Ltd. one of [...]
The Americana shoe trend couldn’t have come at a better time for Quoddy. Now in its 100th year, the U.S.-made moccasin company is experiencing a renaissance with its handmade styles (which also include lace-up boots, boat shoes and oxfords, in addition to the classic moc). In fact, the company has recently added several retail accounts [...]
We’ve received our first delivery of Winkers just ahead of our up coming trunk show with carréducker. These slippers are incredibly comfortable and chic, and can be made up in about seven different fabrics. We hope you stop by Thursday to see them along with the rest of the carréducker collection of bespoke shoes. Grey [...]
Please join us Thursday November 19th from 12 PM – 7 PM as we host our next trunk show with carréducker. We invite you to come by and meet Deborah Carré & James Ducker, who will be happy to assist and advise you. Additionally if you’ve never seen hand sewn shoe making before this is [...]
We’ve placed orders for several spectators, but none more than the Edward Green Cadogan. Until now we’ve only ordered them in black and white but this pair really stands out. Our client Mr. N. was beaming when he slipped these bad boys on, and rightly so. Incidentally he has a black and white pair on [...]
