Cheaney makes for Paul Smith. That would be my guess.

Yeah? Interesting call, and thanks - I'd not considered them as there's nothing that, to me, would have obviously led me there. There's something familiar about that 'TWCS' or 'TWGS' but I can't think where I've seen it before...

Sorry for the pic quality, but anyone recognise the maker of these Paul Smith suede wholecuts? There's no other markings beyond what I've shown, and a simple 'Paul Smith' on the sock liner...







Thanks in advance!

I've seen reference a few places that Cheaney does some work for Paul Smith, and even though the dovetail rubber cleats may be more common, I've seen those heels on a couple of Cheaney's. I don't think that's enough to say with certainty, but I think it's a possibility. The inner labeling doesn't quite fit, but I've seen makers change that for certain stores, though not usually.

Maybe you guys can help. As soon as I posted in the ask a question thread, it stopped answering questions. My luck...

Grenadine?


Not Grenadine?

any pics of the tags inside the interior pocket

Unfortunately not yet. I impulse bought it and will post the tag when it comes if not identified before then. This is the whole coat if that gives any idea
