Vintage tweeds from the 1950s, 60s and 70s – which you can make up in made-to-measure or bespoke garments. A brilliant idea given the closure of mills and retirement of weavers over the years.
The last determines the shoe’s fit, and a master-cut last ensures a correct-fitting shoe. The last also gives the shoe its shape; thus an elegant last is an essential element of an elegant shoe.
Upon receipt of the last, the construction process begins in earnest. To make a pair of counter sample by hand is an arduous process that requires over sixty hours of meticulous labor. The pattern must be drafted and perfected. The uppers must be cut and fashioned to the lasts. The infrastructure must be constructed, and the welts must be hand-sewn to the insole. Our bespoke shoes are constructed entirely of leather and provide the foot unparalleled support; the result is strong, structurally sound footwear.
