Vintage Bespoke 1940’s-50’s RW Forsyths of Glasgow & Edinburgh Size 8.5

 The original R W Forsyth set up in business as hosier, Glover and shirtmaker at 5-7 Renfield Street Glasgow in 1872. The business prospered, leading to expansion to the corner of Gordon Street in 1897. Further expansion followed, with the opening of a large store on a prime site on Princes Street in Edinburgh in 1907. The business remained in the family, in the hands of the founder's son Graham and grandson Derek.             Forsyth's had a strong reputation for quality clothing and fashions, and also succeeded in specialist areas such as sports equipment and school outfitting. The store closed in 1983.

These shoes were made around the 1940’s or 50’s. Brown suede, 100% leather, hardly worn. Perfect shoes for Goodwood.
