Gibson London and Modshoes

You will notice we do a few photo shots with Gibson Clothing. We do this becuase we like their clothes. Some are not what many would think are MOD, but thats kind of not the point. Smart clothes are smart clothes, and good many of MODshoes customers are not MODS !

So thats got that out of the way, what we love about their clothes is they are cool, smart, orginal, with a nod to the past, but complementary and lots of other adjectives, but most importantly they are GOOD

We like teaming up parts of their range with other makes and importantly our shoes. So below you will see our Tassel Loafers with several outfits. The same for our Jeffery West Weavers.

The prince of wales Harrington is a classic , and goes with loads of our shoes, and the check means it can sit with our new black penny loafers the Earls.

The country squire look they do is a very now / current , but also retains a vintage classic integrity, a man who know his stuff.

The Boating blazer below is so so cool and look so good with our Chestnut Dukes

Notice as well a classic 3 button mod suit, with covered buttons. The colour is very cool and proper stand out in a crowd.

What we also like about their clothes is you can buy fairly easy but not everywhere, something we try to do with our shoes.

Here are a collection of pics we did recently to show our shoes with a cool , but smart jacket. We hope you find it informative

Modshoes and Hawkins & Shepherds Shirts

As we often mention, we like to put our shoes with other company’s clothes so that you get a feel for an outfit that you have, or may be planning. Personally, I am drawn to their shirts as I like the pin collar look.

In terms of our shoes, we think nearly all of them work together, from tassel loafers to brogues like the Bridgers. The Jeffery West shoes we know most certainly do.

We first came across these shirts at a trade show, and were really pleased to find them. Generally, on the high street,  it is hard work to get a good collared shirt.

The company offer numerous types of Pin Collar Shirts, several of which you can see in the pictures. They also include hidden tabs, and hook and look collars. This author loves collars that ‘stay still’, and has spent most of his years in Button Downs.

Another bonus about them was that they are an English company. Amongst the many styles of collar on offer, they had the four shown below, which were my personal favourites.

Now my first reaction was a flashback to that 1962 period, where bands like The Beatles would wear these, and that’s what drew me to them.

So we did one of our photoshoots showing several of the shirts, with our shoes.

We think they both complement each other very nicely.

Their website, including many cool shirts, can be found here  http://www.hawkinsandshepherd.com/collections/pin-collar-shirts

Enjoy the pics

Yes we are having our first open day on the 31st October.

The idea is to allow you to come and see the shoes in the flesh as such. We know many people like to see and more importantly “Try On” shoes before buying.

So we are going to have all our Shoe brand on display and many of our exclusives.

On the day we have several djs playing classics MOD , Soul, SKA etc. There will be a Raffle on behalf of Teenage Cancer Trust, which so far has some top prizes.

We will be doing some specials on the day, and our staff will be here and happy to talk you through any questions you may have
