For any discerning gentleman, when it comes to footwear there cannot be any corners cut. A man’s clothes can be of the highest order, but if he has on a pair of shoes that leave a lot to be desired he can appear hopelessly uninformed of the principles of style. However, owning a good pair of shoes often means paying a good amount of money, and no gentleman wants to be left with a bare wallet either. Enter Fairfax & Favor, a British born lifestyle label who create luxury shoes at an accessible price point.
Established in 2013 by childhood friends Marcus Fairfax Fountaine and Felix Favor Parker, the fairly young brand have already managed to fashion an extensive line of footwear that combines craftsmanship and excellent design. From loafers to driving shoes and chelsea boots, each style is timeless and is a perfect option for either formal or casual dressing.
A sartorial investment that won’t break the bank, why not first opt for the Bedingfeld loafer? Hand stitched from a supple suede, the shoe even features padded lining and a hard-wearing leather sole that makes sure you can step with certainty (and comfort) into any British weather condition.
