Hi,
I'd like to ask if anyone owns or is familiar with SW1 shoes. Does anyone know who manufactures their Northampton range? Comments appreciated.

One of the guys from SW1 is a member here. You'll find some threads if you do a search, and if you PM him I'm sure he can answer your questions.

If you have pictures of the shoes, especially the heel and sole, some members here could have a good idea as to who makes them too.

Looks Crockett and Jonesy to me. Conston in suede?

I don't recognise the last, and the details don't look C&J to me...

They have that sharp downward hook nose on the toe which don't look like Crockett to me. Could be wrong

There's a few looky-like-ees in the "Northamptonshire" section. The Langham loafer and a suede Westfield? Possibly a Bedford and a Connaught? I agree, last shape looks slightly different, as are the laces. Difficult to tell from the pics. Would need to compare shoes side by side.

They're just not the same shape as my Bedford's IMHO.

I actually own a pair, the Sloop model. I have also spoken with Francesco (owner) in the past and asked him about the shoe construction. I know the ones I have are Blake welted and are made in Italy. Not sure about the northampton range though. I love the pair I own. Very comfortable and unique.
