Soho has always had a long tradition of American influence. From infestation of Jazz in its hallowed venues, to its vaudeville coat and its underworld trousers. Hell it even has a direct line to Hollywood through its film production offices. It’s a thin thread but it is the best one to describe why a moccasin inspired boot popular in America should wind up in a collection dedicated to Soho. A lot of my casual geezer friends consider the moccasin shoe construction to be the only suitable shoe construction for a true casual geezer. For those friends of mine I thought I would take some high shine Jermyn Streetesque leather and invite them to the party. And seeing as Soho didn’t get under my skin until the mid eighties when the Pet Shop Boys were singing about West End Boys. The height of chic for your discerning casual geezer around that time was a pair of Italian or French mocc fronts by Sisely or Paraboots from Nik Naks, scoped in a well thumbed copy of Per Lui. Aaah good times !! They are named after Peter Cooke who strode the line between establishment and satirically casual better than anyone ever.
