Why Suede Loafers are a natural fit this autumn
 |
As the weather cools, you might be thinking about a new footwear choice for the autumn season. While the softness and comfort of all the shoes we make and sell at G.H. Bass & Co make them an ideal choice year-round, there is a particular fabric which really shines in the Autumn season. |
Last days of Summer
 |
To say the summer has been a strange one would be the ultimate understatement, however for the optimistic among us, summer has remained salvageable. Much like our friends the photographer Luc Coiffat and the stylist Mathilde Ahlstrom who spent the summer in Stockholm exploring the open fields, coniferous forests, calming waters and moss covered rocky terrains of Fjärdlångs Nature Reserve |
Boat Shoes - A History
 |
G.H. Bass & Co. have been pioneers in a host of footwear styles since George Henry Bass set up the brand in 1876, with one defining goal : ‘To make the best possible shoe for the purpose for which it was intended.’
Behind this was the need to design shoes with a sense of utility and purpose. It is what defined the development of our first pioneering style: The Camp Moccasin.

Style tribes: 1960s revival
 |
The sixties are often credited as an important era for fashion, music and political movements, as the decade saw an evolution of youth culture and the emergence of influential subcultures. As a generation of young adults came of age at time so far ruled by conservatism, materialism and social norms, groups began to break away in the late 1950s and early 1960s to challenge class systems, mainstream political views and gender roles. A wider sense of freedom and international influences meant that jazz clubs, dance clubs and coffee shops became the new normal social hangouts. |

Style tribes: Northern Soul
  |
The Northern Soul movement emerged in the late sixties and early seventies as a subculture of Mod culture. Young people in the north of England and other parts of the South, which was by now fuelled by psychedelia and disco, were keen to rediscover places they could dance to black soul and Motown music, and so flocked to clubs in Manchester, Wigan, Blackpool and Stoke-on-Trent. |
