Gieves & Hawkes Shoes

[SpooPoker]

Anyone have any info as to who makes them, or quality wise where they stand up? Im considering a few pairs, but cant really find much info about them.

 

[artoftime]

I asked about these awhile back as well - consensus seemed to be that they are made by C&J for G&H.
Some interesting designs. Like the Buckshot

 

[SpooPoker]

I was thinking EG, based on the nail patterns in the ones I am interested in, but I know nothing really, just observing. Either way, look for em in WAYWRN in a few weeks..

BTW - where your fits been at AoT? I need more AMG in teh threads...

The ones they had in store last year looked liked Cheaney - appeared to be similar quality to Cheaney Signature.

For the price at which they sell, there is precious little chance they are made by either C&J or EG.

I'm 99.9% sure they are not C&J! I think they are Cheaney.

I've seen some G&H designs at the C&J factory.

Another one for Cheaney!!

The sales assistant told me with no hesitation that they are cheaney.

Im fairly sure ive seen better cheaney than the G&H stuff

+1. Never been impressed with G&H shoes.

There's a G&H store 20 yards from where I work.

I've just been down, sure enough, the writing inside the shoe is that of Cheaney.

They've made their shoes for sometime now. that's not to say that other manufacturers are approached to produce samples.

Would you think its worth it for $325 for a pair of shell cordovan oxfords?

 

[Macallan]

I have a pair of Gieves' shoes, which are Cheaney-made. Shoes at retail are over-priced; however, during the sales, a good purchase.

Yes, but I don't like these.

I do, but not for anything over $325.
