▶️ From Suit to Shoot: A British Shooting Series
Published: February 4, 2026
Video Description
I am back in beautiful London to celebrate a truly profound milestone in the world of quality, craftsmanship, and tradition. Join me as I visit with Simon at Canons Bespoke to honor their 185th anniversary of uninterrupted shoemaking.
It is rare to encounter a firm that has practiced its craft the same way since the beginning, surviving nearly two centuries of booms and busts. In this video, we explore the incredible "living history" of the workshop—from a Victorian sample found at their original 19th-century location to the impending completion of their 67,000th pair of shoes.
We discuss how the art of the "last" has evolved to meet the needs of the modern client while remaining steadfastly committed to the heritage that makes a London bespoke shoe the best in the world.
