Tom Baker - 100 Club London Fashion Week

It is with great pleasure that we were a part of Sir Tom Baker's inaugural catwalk show held at the infamous 100 Club.  The show has been voted by GQ magazine as one of the top ten highlights of London Fashion Week. We have added a few pictures to give you a taste of the rock 'n' roll tailoring and shoe making.

Dom Hemingway, Rochester Keefs and Rival Sons

A night in delight for all Jeffery-West Reprobates is the DVD release of Dom Hemingway.  Jude Law stars as the master safe cracker with a loose canon personality 

Following his release from prison after serving time to protect his boss for a job that went bad, Dom is back on the London streets wih his Partner Dickie (played by the fantastic Richard E Grant) with the urge for revenge, justice and a belief that he is a super hero, a cocktail of carnage is guaranteed.  Check out Jude's swagger in his black Rochester Keefs, which we are reliably informed by a film insider were the only footwear this character could and would wear. The two are a roguish match made in hell.  

We are also excitedly awaiting the new album "Great Western Valkyrie" from our good friends Rival Sons. Due out in June we have a sneak peak of the album cover with the boys looking wonderfully dapper or is it dangerous in their Jeffery-Wests.  In this shot definite contenders for our Rogues Gallery.     

Interview with Guy West in London's Square Mile Magazine

In the latest edition of Square Mile magazine based in the City, London's Financial district, you will find a rather good  interview with our very own Guy West. 

Written by the fantastic Mike Gibson it initially explores the early years of the brand and how it has since remained true to its original ethos; "Life is too short to wear boring shoes". Exploring the City store we discover it's flamboyance and decadence, a place of refuge for City workers to shrug off the conservatism of their day to day and indulge in something a little different...if they dare!

Rochester 'Keef' in Sunset strip movie

We are always keen to watch or listen to almost anything about tales of indulgence and excess so with immense enjoyment watched Hans Fjellestad film 'Sunset Strip'  www.sunsetstripthemovie.com   

The film has many fantastic stories and anecdotes from characters that come straight from the who's who list of Hellraisers, dating back to the Strips inception during the wild 1920's.

Mr Rourke shares some great memories with the LA tattoo legend Mark Mahony, and there is a fantastic shot of Mr Rourke's Rochester Keef boots, by the looks of them they too have been privy to some serious action !   

Belt Up!

We are proud to add these brand new belts to our Accessories collection.  A fine way to truss your breeches! Handmade in Italy and exclusive to our website.    

A perfect partner for our new Goodyear Welted "Moon" styles amongst others.  

Real Men Boots

A big thank you to everyone who attended the Retox over the weekend at our Piccadilly Shop.  Creativity ruled with some wonderful engraving undertaken by Aasen Stephenson of Deathhouse and a good time was enjoyed by all.   A new film "Cuban Fury" salsas its way into cinemas on Friday.  With an eclectic British cast, this comedy certifying "Real Men Dance" is sure to invoke a few laughs.  Keep a look out for the wonderful Mr Ian McShane, who gives our Classic Murphy Seam front Chelsea another appearance on the big screen!      Jeffery-West cannot be held responsible for injuries caused to yourself or others whilst mimicking any moves seen in the movie!        

Coming out of the Detox, looking forward to the Retox...

Jeffery-West was well represented at the Grammys , here is probably the stand out photo, Sean Lennon and his liquid silver Rochesters oh, and his mum Yoko.

Also, our good friends at Brockmans Gin drew our attention to their new promotional film produced by the inimitable Phil Sillcox who we worked with many years ago on our famous bed, bondage shot which we were reported to Advertising Standards for!!!!

 New 2014 collection starting to come in, so far we have had the brass Reprobate, Degenerate Collar Stays which for those refined gentlemen can double as a snuff spoon.

We have had a couple of styles on the new 'Dexter' Last, named after our favourite vigilante serial killer Dexter Morgan.  Style Masuka.

The amazing Tonic Two Tone Patent Ziggys and Rochesters are back for their long awaited encore.

 Great to see Dot from London Grammar in the Northampton Store, after stylishly donning a pair of Rochester Keefs, hopefully a good omen for the forthcoming Brit Awards....
