In Britain, more than 100 years old shop proportion is very high, but now in the capital tide, as well as the impact of the economy, many hundred years old shop is also in danger, can keep up to now is the leader.
Today, we have a good friend @ KK Winkler to introduce to us a quality adhere to the traditional British century old shop, James Taylor son.
James Taylor son was founded in 1857, the first wave of Portland Street in London, 1954 by James Taylor's son and two grandchildren moved to Paddington street so now
You know, generally high-end men's clothing or shoes, there are generally three ways of making:
Auto ready to wear, referred to as RTW, is a clothing / shoes, ready to buy directly can wear;
Auto made to measure, referred to as MTM, semi custom, according to the existing version / last time;
Auto bespoke is a full custom, truly tailored, do shoe according to your body type / foot painting. (women's dresses are custom-made Haute Couture)
James Taylor son (hereinafter referred to as JT) in the past more than 100 years, just do the full custom bespoke shoes and boots, like Saville's suit custom shop, hardly made shoes, one hundred years of production may not add up to Church's more than a year.
It can truly become the customer of JT is not too much, mostly concentrated in the high-end customers or lovers come
Because the JT has a very long history and tradition, technology standard is one of the highest British shop, has a loyal consumer groups many in the Westminster area, also attracted a lot of European royalty and emerging capitalists come to custom (a long list of celebrities on the official website).
Of course, including Churchill, but also intimate paid the money, and left a receipt. (it is said that Churchill made Henry clothes at Saville street in wartime and didn't give any money to Poole.) You
Of course, the advantage of JT is customized, if not the stones can not rely on the custom to live now.
There are three common ways of customizing regular footwear:
First, John Lobb (the London shop), with the last master, a lot of their skill, their foot type manual measurement of customers, and then use the basic tools of a piece of wood slowly into the customer's exclusive shoe;
Second, like Crockett Jones, although it is also known as the custom, but mainly the foot data of customers, and then take their standard shoe last change, such as adding a little fat, heel, instep point raised and so on, is a relatively easy and simple custom.
In third, JT also like John Lobb have their last master do not last, but the number of John more than Lobb.
As a hundred years old, is the JT foot type using 3D scanning technology to scan the customer, then the computer generated last, then sends the data directly to the shoe factory produced the last blank, then adjusted JT last master, completed the final exclusive shoe.
This method is not traditional and time-consuming, but it will be more accurate and convenient.
Looking at the entire British shoe custom industry, now is very depressed, and even John Lobb old shop business is not as good as before.
Fifty years ago, London was probably active with 100 custom shoe stores, and now can operate very few. After entering twenty-first Century, Church, s, Lobb (French store) and other famous brands have been acquired by Prada, replica Hermes online uk and other groups, opened the Ready to wear global brand expansion road.
And can adhere to purely manual customization of London veteran, leaving only John, Lobb London old shop, George, Cleverly, Foster, Son, and James Taylor Son, a hand count over.
Among them, the overall level is the highest Lobb, shoe last master is also the most, GC has finished shoes, seems to be more famous than custom, Foster standard depends on the master, JT, some master skills and Lobb as superb.
It is said that there is such a word in the circle of high-end men's shoes:
Italy's last, France postprocessing shoes, British standard.
Now many tennis shoes said, basically as long as men's clothing enthusiasts can freely offer many brands, the main schools of the British, Italy and France, Japan is doing a lot of manual shoes, it is also backward, mainly on the mainstream of the three.
The main source of the modern men's and men's shoes or in the uk.
The last type of Italy shoes are likely to be pointed long, tough lines, a sense of power, love with special cortex, and slightly exaggerated fashion.
Suitable for long leg height of Europeans, Chinese did not wear this figure may not be able to effect, ordinary working people don't consider, wear too exaggerated, do business in this high position is not suitable, this kind of shoes without entertainment mix a little pity you

Little change in France last smooth lines, many love later dazzling shining color in the cortex, more luxurious foppish feeling.
The most famous is probably the kind of Berluti wipe the color, and Corthay more dazzling color. You

Corthay
Although the UK is the source of modern dress, whether clothes or shoes are not satisfactory, not exaggerated publicity, low-key and reserved.
The shoe last is full, solid, smooth, comfortable, beautiful and durable. The first time you wear, you may feel stiffer, the more comfortable crossing. You

From this point of view, British shoes are the most suitable for Chinese people to wear, Chinese people are mostly not too tall, foot type is generally fat and round, and (compared with Europe and America), wearing British shoes ratio is relatively more coordinated.
And because most models are low-key introverted, suitable for working people in.
The last type of James Taylor son is the most classic British style, like Lobb and John, but the price is much cheaper.
By the end of 2016, JT in the Jingdong has launched a campaign, this is the first time to the JT team to the domestic tour (ready to wear trunk show), as a rehearsal for the second half of 2017, Bespoke trunk show, let the domestic know understand the real strength of the production of the JT team.
I have seen also booked two pairs, the thought that the price is really cheap, and the standard should be the entry-level Loake, almost Barker, and the two brands than the average price of the JT was 1 times higher, the result was that I was very surprised, far more than expected.
The three pair is from left to right are Loake, JT and Church's, the last type is Loake a little soil, wearing the package a little difference, as the sole point of difference, not resistant to walk for a long time.
Church's appears to be the most lanky, in fact, wearing the narrowest part of the painting. The red circle part is not very comfortable and it takes a long time to walk. This part hurts.
The most engaging JT, probably because this is in order to adapt to the domestic foot adjusted, so dress is the most comfortable.
The price is JT cheapest, Loake is 2 times of JT, and Church's is more than 2 times of Loake. You
Loake, JT, Church's (ignore the old floor)
The production of JT in full compliance with the standards of high-end leather shoes, shoe model beautiful, Goodyear welt sewing, leather materials from British Bei'an Hampton A A Crack Son famous leather supplier, rubber material is from Italy's famous rubber manufacturers Vibram.
In this way, materials, workmanship, definitely regarded as a good custom leather shoes.
