Alfred Sargent suede Chelsea boots for Fred Perry

Posted on | 1 Comment

Over on our His Knibs site, we have covered the Fred Perry British Collectables range , but we highlighted these Alfred Sargent for Fred Perry suede Chelsea boots.

These are classic Chelsea boots, with a suede upper, fully leather lined but finished with Fred Perry's trademark twin tipping on the side elastic in a choice of two colours. According to the official blurb, they're also 'Made in England to the highest standards' and created using the Goodyear welting method associated with the finest quality British handmade shoes. There's also an insole that features Fred Perry/Alfred Sargent branding in gold, while the signature Laurel Wreath sits on the leather heel tab.

All of which probably accounts for the high price. They sell for £295 a pair. See the other colour combo over the page.
