Hi, Can anyone tell me who may have made these shoes for Brooks Brothers? Could it be Church's or Crockett and Jones...?

Thanks a bunch!

Ken

I would say Peal&Co. The nail pattern is neither Crockett nor Edward Green. So, could be any of other British makers. They are nice quality shoes.

At the risk of sounding contentious, there is a possibility that it could be Crockett. Brooks Brothers have a chequered history of owners, including the British store group, Marks & Spencer. But back in 1965 Brooks Brothers purchased the English bespoke bootmaker Peal & Co (founded in in 1765) and since then they market a range of shoes and other goods under that name. However, the Peal & Co shoes are today manufactured by Northampton firm, Crockett and Jones.

What you need to find out is how old the shoes are in order to discover who made them. One thing is for sure though, they are a fine looking shoe, and if they are of an age to have been made by Peal & Co, let me tell you that you are in exclusive company. See this website showing Peal's customers. Everyone from The British Royal family, other European Royal Families, Hollywood Royalty, World leaders, Industrialists, and on and on.

For some reason I became obsessed with finding out more. I think these shoes are made by Church's and are the Royal Tweed range. Nice shoes
