There’s no doubt we see a lot of beautiful shoes. But every once in a while a spectacular pair comes our way. One of our clients recently received delivery of his first pair of Gaziano & Girling Bespoke shoes. These are full bespoke made to the measurements and taste of Mr. C. He was kind enough to bring them to us to be photographed and he agreed to let us share them here.
Mr. C. did not reveal the model beforehand and when I opened the box I believe I gasped in awe. What can you say other than Tony Gaziano makes incredibly gorgeous shoes.
If you’re New York April 7th stop by and visit us from 11-7 when Tony Gaziano will be here with samples of their Ready to Wear, Bespoke and newly released Deco Range (more on those soon).

We received a small run of the Edward Green Sandringham in Horween Whiskey shell cordovan or crup as they say across the pond. We had ordered more but as with all things cordovan availability is the rule. We’ll receive the balance of our order at some point in the future when more Whiskey shells are to be had.
These shoes are absolutely stunning due to both the beauty of the leather and the skill with which EG handles shell cordovan, they’re simply irresistible.

We ordered this pair of Church Gatcombe boots for our client D.P. and to be honest we were unfamiliar with this model. He brought us the request with a few changes that we highly approve of.
The original Gatcombe is on a much rounder last and has Dainite soles. This pair is on the trimmer 173 last and has triple leather soles, which makes them much dressier yet still rugged.
MTO is Made To Order these shoes are not in stock.
