Amazing highend shoos, perhaps the best RTW to come out of America ever! An extemely rare 18 spi on the uppers and top notch construction and are made with beautiful high quality French calfskin. They are starting to develop a beautiful patina and are really comfortable to wear. They are no longer made......last pairs to be made were about twelve years ago.
The J & M handmades were also used as a promotional tool by Johnston & Murphy to promote the quality of Made in America. They were often given as gifts to heads of state, Presidents and royalty, and were worn by many high profile clients such as members of the Rat Pack. From what l can gather, the shoos remain unchanged from the 1950's....maybe even much earlier.
They are one of my favourite pairs of shoos. No more Church's shoos for this little Shooman.
