Well-polished shoes are the trademark of the thoughtful dresser and true gentleman. It’s an expression of respect for the work that went into the shoes by the craftsmen and to the people he’ll be meeting that day.

Each mark on PJ’s patina desk tells a story of a previous creation. The final result of beautifully coloured and cared for leather is neatly presented with a bright polish and a fresh pair of our brushed cotton shoe bags, but his workspace is just like any other artist’s!

The insides of wallets, like a suit lining, offer the opportunity to play with a lot more colour! (at The Jaunty Flaneur) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnQvPlHHX2i/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15gj7regevnap

We are tremendously proud of our patina service and we’ve got some exciting developments in the pipeline to be announced in the coming weeks! If you’re not already familiar with what can be achieved with patina, do get in touch or visit us in Savile Row. Be sure to keep your mind open; our experience with different shoe styles and leathers might give you some ideas you hadn’t thought of before! (at The Jaunty Flaneur)

A very special pair of wholecuts with burgundy toes morphing to dark green around the ribbon laces, and beautifully set off with our trademark mirror finish on the toes. (at The Jaunty Flaneur)

Did you know we can reline heels? It’s an area of the shoe that gets a lot of wear and tear when taking them on or off, particularly if a shoe horn isn’t always used. We can stitch in a new leather lining to restore the shoe, or even pad the heel a little if you need find your heel slipping in the shoe. (at The Jaunty Flaneur)

Well-made shoes will last decades if maintained properly. We handle all manner of repairs including our signature Flaneur Resole comprised of a closed channel (hidden stitching) JR sole and indented metal toe plates to reinforce the front edge of the sole. All repairs include our standard polish service. Visit our site to learn more. (at The Jaunty Flaneur)

@crockettandjones_official Weymouth with cloudy shades of brown. Very discreet, very easy to wear, very much more interesting than the standard flat leather finish off the shelf. (at The Jaunty Flaneur)

Kangaroo leather trainers given a mid brown patina with darker ‘clouding’ to produce a naturally shaded finish full of interest and depth. (at The Jaunty Flaneur)

Another pair of @edwardgreen1890 given a natural patina in brown and glacage cap toe. This is an incredibly versatile patina with plenty of depth and interest in shading. (at The Jaunty Flaneur) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bl74cIxnyyB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1u8v16y89shf9

This new micro-cell rubber sole option is ideal for casual and summer shoes. It’s very light and comfortable, and available in different colours. The black shown here is an ideal accompaniment to the grey suede desert boots. ⠀ #resole #churchshoes #rubbersole #shoecare #shoerepair #shoeporn #mayfair #jauntyflaneur #savilerow #suedeshoes #shoepolish #recraft #luxuryshoes #ryderboots #desertboots #chukkaboots (at The Jaunty Flaneur)
