Forgive me for leading with the story of the shoes Gaziano & Girling made for His Majesty Charles III. It isn't the main thing we discussed in this interview with Tony Gaziano, but I know it will be the one that gets the most attention.

That comes about 19 minutes into the talk, but before and after we cover many interesting things including:

  • Why Tony thinks design is the missing element in a lot of bespoke shoemaking
  • Why the shoes have become so much more expensive
  • Why he couldn't survive without Dean Girling (audience question, right at the end)

I knew it was going to be a fun talk when Tony took the piss out of my baldness, with only a few seconds gone. And so it proved - enjoyable, entertaining, informative. This was one of our best talks in this series. I hope you enjoy it too.

Thank you very much to Tony Gaziano and his team, to Mortimer House and to all the lovely readers who attended. It was a lovely evening, and we'll try and do another one soon.

There's now a little archive of these interviews. They are, in case you missed any of them:
