New Season Oliver Sweeney

Oliver Sweeney have been the resident favourite shoe at our Jonathan Trumbull for over 10 years and they continue to come up with cutting edge designs season after season.  This season they’ve favoured a broguing on many of the designs recalling a bygone era of tailoring while still being ideal to team with jeans.   Oliver Sweeney‘s quality of finish and reconstruction service are just two of the reasons why we love this brand.
