“The” Oxford

February 21st, 2010

The Gaziano & Girling Oxford is an elegant cap toe that has been a staple since day one. We just received a small reorder of this most classic of shoes.

If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a hunred times no RTW shoe fits and supports the foot like a G&G shoe, period.

New Gaziano & Girling Stock Shoes

February 11th, 2010

Two new Gaziano & Girling’s models have arrived. Both are very handsome and feature the narrow waist and fiddle back soles which is the hallmark of G&G. Sophisticated, and stylish in colors that are rich and versatile, Gaziano & Girling’s mission is to create a bespoke aesthetic in a ready to wear shoe. The styling is pure Tony Gaziano, and the craftsmanship is every bit of Dean Girling. We tip or hat to you gentleman, mission accomplished.

G&G MTO’s

January 15th, 2010

Tony Gaziano and Dean Girling’s shoes just keep getting better; their shoes are beautifully crafted and sophisticated.  Yes they take time but once they arrive it’s like the feeling you get when you finally scratch an itch you couldn’t reach. Those who have endured the wait for a pair of G&G know what I mean.

Take a close look at the beautiful tight waist and fiddle back soles that are the hallmark of Gaziano & Girling. It’s not something found on other RTW shoes.

G&G MTO’s, Tulsa Bound

December 13th, 2009

We received these new Gaziano & Girling Made to Order pairs this week, which were dispatched, immediately to our client in Oklahoma. We’re confident that he’ll enjoy them a great deal. A finer shoe cannot be found in Tulsa, other than his pairs of Corthay, Edward Green, Rider, and Alden we’ve sent him.

Gaziano & Girling Burnham MTO

November 24th, 2009

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 upper and Ridgeway soles.

Burnham - Leffot 1

Gaziano & Girling offers three Scotch Grains the finest being Pin Grain, then Highland, and finally Arran which is the deepest. Once the leather is stretched over the last the grain smoothes out quite a bit. It’s particularly nice on this wholecut. The grain adds a subtle texture and a slightly more rugged look which works well with the heavy lug soles.

The Wingtips

October 14th, 2009

Gaziano & Girling wingtips have an elegance to them that many wingtips lack. I think these two models bear that point out very nicely.

Gaziano & Girling Suedes

October 13th, 2009

Suede is a great looking leather for fall, and these two Gaziano & Girling MTO’s definitely qualify as exceptionally great looking styles.

New G&G Models

October 12th, 2009

I’m very excited about the new G&G models; these two are the first to arrive. All the MTO’s posted this week are from the first production we’ve received from their new factory. The workmanship, leather quality, and coloring are exceptional, shades of future past.

Pass the Scotch – Grain

October 11th, 2009

Just ahead of our G&G trunk show we received several new MTO shoes. These two struck me. They’re for two different clients but both were of the same mind. These two shoes are in Brown Highland Grain. I happen to be a big fan of Scotch Grains and think it’s an excellent choice for fall shoes.

They have another relation to each other besides the leather. The hand-sewn split toe Derby and Loafer makes for an interesting comparison, which is something you rarely see. Kind of like distant cousins.
