Modshoes and Hawkins & Shepherds Shirts

modshoes-with-hawkins-shirt-01Modshoes and Hawkins & Shepherds Shirts

As we often mention, we like to put our shoes with other company’s clothes so that you get a feel for an outfit that you have, or may be planning. Personally, I am drawn to their shirts as I like the pin collar look.

In terms of our shoes, we think nearly all of them work together, from tassel loafers to brogues like the Bridgers. The Jeffery West shoes we know most certainly do.

We first came across these shirts at a trade show, and were really pleased to find them. Generally, on the high street,  it is hard work to get a good collared shirt.

The company offer numerous types of Pin Collar Shirts, several of which you can see in the pictures. They also include hidden tabs, and hook and look collars. This author loves collars that ‘stay still’, and has spent most of his years in Button Downs.

Another bonus about them was that they are an English company. Amongst the many styles of collar on offer, they had the four shown below, which were my personal favourites.

Now my first reaction was a flashback to that 1962 period, where bands like The Beatles would wear these, and that’s what drew me to them.

So we did one of our photoshoots showing several of the shirts, with our shoes.

We think they both complement each other very nicely.

Their website, including many cool shirts, can be found here  http://www.hawkinsandshepherd.com/collections/pin-collar-shirts

Mod Shoes & Classic Outfit No1 – The Harrington

modshoes tassel loafers weavers the allnightersMod Shoes & Classic Outfit No1 – The Harrington

There are many classic looks out there, but this one has to be up there at the top.

The red Harrington is an absolute classic. Coupled with a pair of jeans or trousers and some smart shoes, it can be argued that you are ready for 95% of the time. This means you can go to the pub, you can go into town on a Saturday, football, Soul do, SKA do, scooter rally, GIG , the list is very long

And thats one of the major reason we do often do pictures of our shoes with this setup.

Now there are many Harrington makes out there, and you can buy ones from £20 to whatever price you like . Some say the original Baracuta G9 , as worn by many film stars etc, is the only authentic one. The one in the pics is a Ben Sherman, the cloth is pretty good for the price.

But it is what you put it with that counts, and we think the shoes below hit the spot! So yes a Tassel loafer, Brogue or Desert boot is going to look pretty good. Personally I prefer a dark jean with more formal shoes. But a desert boot goes pretty much with any shade of jean.

And its not just jeans, as you can see in the pics, normal trousers can also fit really well.

We hope you like the pics
