Friends, clients & Rock'n'Rollers
Made for people
who live it.
No models. No casting. These are the people who actually wear our shoes — clients who became friends, musicians, artists, collectors, Teddy Boys, punks and Rock'n'Rollers from all over the world.
Different people. Different feet. Different ideas. No two pairs need to tell the same story.
William “Mr. Ducktail” — France
William is attitude, irreverence and Rock'n'Roll in its purest form. A great friend of the house, he wears his custom 1974 Pointed creepers as part of who he is, never simply as an accessory.
Henrik — Sweden
Henrik gives us a lesson in vintage elegance. Somehow he captures the idea of a summer in Italy: a Rock'n'Roll festival, a glass of cold white wine and nowhere particular to rush to. Elegance and attitude have never been opposites.
Pablo — Spain
For one of the biggest days of his life, Pablo arrived at his wedding on a motorcycle wearing a pair made entirely for him. Some occasions simply deserve shoes that will never be forgotten.

Sasha — Switzerland
Sasha is almost part of the foundations of this house. Classic Teddy Boy style, elegance and attitude — but what he values just as much is comfort. He has walked entire cities in his 1956 Round pair as if they were trainers.
Keko Buenavista — Spain
Keko is a multidisciplinary artist with a world entirely of his own. His white Gala boxcalf 1956 Round pair fits naturally into it — clean, bold and graphic enough to stand beside the rest of his work.
Thomas — Germany
Thomas wears his pair with understandable pride. Weinheimer boxcalf gives the shoe its structure and polish; hair-on brings the character. A classic shape pushed just far enough to become unmistakably his.
Jay, Angelo & Francesco — Italy
If anyone understands shoes, it is the Italians. Three friends, three pairs, and that unmistakable mixture of friendship, joie de vivre and Rock'n'Roll after coming off stage. Good shoes are not only made to be admired. They are made to be lived in.
Bill — California, USA
Bill had wanted proper creepers since he was young, but no commercial brand could offer them in his size. A punk rocker with a love of sport and music, he finally found the pair he had been looking for through Made to Measure.
Axel — Germany
Axel wears a classic grey Teddy Boy drape suit with green suede details, finished with a custom pair made to match. Personal, coordinated and unmistakably his own.
Rasha & Jelena — Switzerland
Rock'n'Roll may dim in the world around us from time to time, but some people carry it forward simply by living it well. Rasha and Jelena dress with style, listen to the greats and remain faithful to the culture that caught them from the very first chord.
This is not a collection.
It is a community.
Javier Liñán — Spain
Javier wears elegance without making a ceremony of it. Eclectic, relaxed and unmistakably his own, he is a long-standing figure in Spanish music — from RCA, Virgin Records and Warner Chappell to founding El Volcán Música.
Stephan — Paris, France
Stephan, from T-Bird, calls these his favourite shoes. The pair went on to inspire other clients too — but inspiration is only a starting point here. You may borrow an idea, a colour or a detail; the finished pair will still become yours alone.
Nicod — Switzerland
Nicod clearly had no intention of disappearing into the background. His radioactive snake creation is bold, playful and unapologetic — exactly the kind of project that reminds us why Made to Measure should leave room for personality.
Santi Plata — Spain
Santi is a classic Teddy Boy in every sense — and a very big man besides. After years without finding proper creepers in his size, Made to Measure finally gave him the pair he had been looking for, ready for the stage and everything beyond it.
Jean-Luc — France
Jean-Luc moves comfortably between two worlds: successful entrepreneur and musician. His black-and-white 1974 Pointed pair follows the same balance — sharp, confident and equally at home on stage or off it.
Patrick — Germany
Patrick brings the same individuality to his custom pair that he brings to his own look. PEOPLE is not about identical poses or catalogue photography — it is about real people making the shoes their own.
Jean — Belgium
Jean is another great friend of the house and one of our most loyal clients. For him, Made to Measure means something very real: finally being able to wear proper creepers in a size the standard market simply could not offer — with the comfort to match.
William “Mr. Ducktail” — France
This pair became a reference point. William's black boxcalf and genuine python 1974 Pointed inspired several later projects — although inspiration never means repetition here. Every pair starts again from the person who will wear it.
Sasha — Switzerland
Sasha returns here in a more classic register: brown Weinheimer boxcalf, a 1956 Round silhouette and that unmistakable sense of style he always brings to the pair. Restraint can carry every bit as much personality as the boldest leather.
There is always room for one more
The next pair hasn't been made yet.
It begins with a person, an idea and a conversation. The rest we build together.
