Dear Fellow Members, I have over the past year developed a passion for Koji Suzuki bespoke shoes. Although as yet I am only an admirer, I now wish to have some beautiful bespoke shoes made by him. However would also be interested if he offers a RTW collection to eagerly start a Koji Suzuki shoes wardrobe.

Do any fellow members have his contact details, i.e. Telephone number or email address?

Also without sounding overtly presumptive, does he speak English! As my Japanese is not as good as my first language being English and am enquiring if I would need to organise an interpreter when I visit him. I like to develop a relationship with my suppliers whom become friends and would find it disappointing if language would become a barrier in allowing this to happen.

I have over the years become a loyal J.M.Weston wearer and absolutely adore the 'Savile Line' which I have found to suit my aesthetic tastes best. What I admire most about this line, is it's slightly longer last in comparison to other well made shoes with an elegant narrow shape and toe, with a lovely handfinished construction.

I like to have my bespoke suits made with an elegant shape in the jacket waistline and a medium width fitting trouser. Irrespective of my surroundings and climate, being a resident of Sunny Dubai, I always wear three piece suits and my J.M. Weston's shoe style complement the overall symmetry of my attire and keep the look consistent with sleek lines, beautiful shape and hand detailing to match.
Hence my appreciation for Koji Suzuki shoes, which I feel again will complement my style and most notably are some of the most beautiful shoes I have seen.

Any other fellow members, in line with my appreciation for Koji Suzuki and J.M. Weston?

Looking forward to your feedback

John

In addition to his bespoke line Koji Suzuki has a MTO line that is available through DMG in Osaka; I assume that Suzuki-san will accept direct orders for the MTO line also. Contact and pictures are at the links below for DMG. I'm not 100%, but do not believe that he speaks English. However, don't let this prevent you from reaching out to him. There is a recent thread with Koji's direct contact info in Kobe.

Use the search function.

Mr. Suzuki is coming to NYC (and maybe LA) in March. He does not speak English, but a member of the forums (bic pentameter) is very kindly translating.
