So far a couple of us are getting together to visit with George Glasgow of G. J. Cleverley & Co. Ltd! This will be around 2 PM and if we want to get together before or afterwards that would be great!

Andy I will gladly meet you for lunch but 2 pm is the middle of the day. We all work in order to afford shoes that Cleverly makes. I can't tkae off an afternoon as much as I would like. if you wer meeting at 4 I would gladly have a drink afterwards.
Andy,

I will be going by and look forward to having lunch with you.
Let me see if I can get that day off. I've got a lot of vacation time built up and I need to get away anyone (although I am in budget season, so may be a gametime decision).
Working!! :eek: Doesn't that cut into your shopping time? :icon_smile_big:

Those of us that can, could meet with the Cleverley Shoe representative at 2 PM and then meander into the bar at the hotel around 3:30 or so.

Anyone who wants to come by and say hello after 3:30 or 4 PM could do so.

Anyone know the names of the bars at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, Beverly Hills? Anyone remember them? :icon_smile:
There are two bars in the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. The first in the Blvd and the other is the Side Bar (which is located towards the back of the hotel).

I knew kelliw would know about the bars!! :icon_smile_big:

The Blvd Lounge

Experience chic, stylish comfort, featuring lush sofas and a magnificent 18-foot (5.5-metre) illuminated onyx bar. Also highlighting the room is a large backlit wine display containing over 1,000 bottles. This is the perfect spot for people-watching, or for a romantic night out on the town. Live jazz is presented Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
sidebar
A sophisticated, modern lounge adjacent to CUT, sidebar is the ultimate place to unwind after work or to relax on weekends. A small menu of appetisers - "Rough Cuts" - accompanies a wide selection of wines and classic cocktails with an innovative twist.

Gentlemen, any preference?

Blvd. has the best people watching. Although when I went to sidebar I saw Shawn Merrion the BB player and alot of very nice looking youg ladies. Blvd. is larger.
Hi Andy,

I'll try to make it on the 9th. BH might as well be on the opposite side of the planet for me coming from Rolling Hills but maybe I can make some client appointments up there to justify the drive.
Hi Andy, My wife Jennifer and I will be in Beverly Hills that afternoon and will come buy to say hello. I've heard very positive things about the G.J. Cleverly & Co shoes and would love to see them in person. Is George Glasgow setting up appointments for sales that afternoon? If it is at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, is he set up in a room under his name?

Will combe by around 2:30 p.m. Scott Hill
Great! We have several Members showing up and a some others meeting us later.

Plus now everyone will get to meet Scott Hill!! :aportnoy:

After we leave the Cleverley suite we'll head down to the BLVD bar.

sgriswold: I'm driving in from Manhattan Beach, but I'm going early to do some BH shopping! :icon_smile_big: But if we both get too drunk - we can follow each other back to the South Bay :icon_smile_wink:.
So are we all set on this? See you there!
Wow! Two of the nicest gentlemen you'll ever meet -- George Glasgow and George Glasgow!! (father and son).

Not to mention the Cleverley shoes:aportnoy:*

The leather, the craftspersonship, the finish, the styles are all fantastic and of the highest quality.

*Maybe I should mention the shoes. I got a pair of beautiful light brown, raised apron band over instep (penny loafer although I hate to use that style terminology since it just doesn't do the shoe justice!) loafer. Absolutely beautiful and the fit is perfect!

I'll try to find a photo.

For the schedule in the US and other places go to:

Make an appointment now! :icon_smile:: [email protected]

Sorry for not making it guys. I am glad you had fun. The shoes are great. I love mine. I was lunching in SM with my wife. Sorry but the company was better minus the shoes, but I did have on some stylish, Black Fleece LWB in Black shell.:icon_smile_big:

While I have not met George the Younger, I have known George the Elder for a very long time...dating back to well before George and John Carnera had left New & Lingwood to establish Cleverley. He is indeed one of the nicest of gentleman, but he is also one of the most experienced and knowledgeable men of his trade.

There is a reason that Cleverley -- though a rather recent company -- has come to epitomize classic English shoemaking.

So imagine the next step...a pair of bespoke Cleverleys :icon_smile_big:

I have now had the opportunity to spend some time with George Glasgow Jr and he is indeed an exceptionally nice as well as knowledgeable young man.
