"Displayed along the brick wall are the English bench-made shoes, all of which bear the label's skull-and-crossbones logo on every sole"

"The banner, which now bears the date of Barker Black's inception, originally read OR GLORY, the unstated alternative to which was death, and Miller says he added the crown to make it all "a little bit more regal." That stands to reason, Barker Black's shoes are, after all, designed for a rebel but fit for a king.”

"All Barker Black shoes include a reference, sometimes subtle, to the label's skull-and-crossbones motif. For the Barker Black version of the traditional loafer the metal horse bit that typically goes across the vamp was replaced with a piece of metal forged in the shape of crossbones."

"The shoes have just enough difference to make them cool but not freaky or outrageous."

"...combined forward thinking sensibility with tried and true British manufacturing techniques. The result is... a sophisticated and timeless shoe with a little more of an attitude"

"...the kind of well-made handcrafted shoes the Brits are known for, but with more of a modern design punch."
