Jeffrey West boutique. Jeffrey West

WHAT: Shoes

WHY: Born and bred in Northampton — the historical
center of British shoemaking — childhood friends Mark
Jeffery and Guy West were surrounded by tradition, history,
and in Jeffery’s case, a family business that included a shoe
factory in town. Dabbling in shoe design since age 16, the
duo set off to create the ultimate in bespoke cobblery, which
has found its way to the sets of many Guy Richie films as well
as the Harry Potter series.

HOW: More rebel than austere, the Jeffery West bespoke
collaboration embraces the idea of out-of-the-box luxury at
its new New York City boutique. “There was a gap in the
market,” explains Guy West. “We just didn’t see the kind of
shoes available that we wanted to wear — so we took the
tradition and craftsmanship of English-made, Goodyear
welted shoes and approached it with our own twist.
We didn’t want to be just another classic shoe company
from Northampton making brogues.” For the fusion of
traditional British craftsmanship with imaginative design,
gentlemen with swagger — like David Bowie, Gary Oldman,
and David Beckham — are presented with superior
leather and innovative style options as they are encouraged
to explore their wild side. Quite apropos for the “Infamous
English Shoes” — the company’s modus operandi that’s
printed on the soles.

Superior leather meets innovative style options. Bespoke notes.

Handle with Care Moccasins.

>> New, leather-soled shoes should initially be worn in dry conditions and allowed to develop a
degree of resistance before exposing them to wet weather.

>> If caught out in the rain, allow your shoes to dry naturally for as long as is needed.

>> A lternate your shoes with a second pair to ensure they are not worn on successive days.

>> Use of cedar shoe trees is very important in order to maintain a good pair of leather shoes. Cedar
shoe trees help to retain shape and absorb moisture.

>> S elect a matching natural wax or polish. Avoid synthetic liquid products which sit on the upper
and can dry out and crack leather. Apply meticulously in a circular motion, working into the
leather. Use a small, soft toothbrush for crevices. Leave to soak for 15-20 minutes or overnight.

>> W ith a clean, dry, lint-free cloth, buff to reveal the rewarding shine and beauty of the leather.

>> M ost of Jeffery West bespoke shoes can be rebuilt by the same craftsmen that made them. The
nature of the construction means the whole heel and sole can be stripped and replaced. The shoes
are re-lasted, the sock is replaced, and the upper is re-burnished. This service takes about 10-12 weeks.

Additionally, Jansheski says, he can justify the square

Historic Preservation staff report about Tesheski’s plans:

says Choeff. New residences on Star Island are required to
be situated at a higher elevation than most other residential
properties within Miami Beach; so the move of the historic
home will put it at “about 10 feet above main sea level,”
says Choeff. “This further ensures the historic home’s
preservation.”
