W & H Gidden (LONDON)

[TimMureau]

Who knows more about this company?
I am a horserider and I heard that this is a horseridershop.
What do they sell? Do they have bespoke riderclothes? Do they have ties maybe?
And boots?

And do they have a website?

Who can tell it me?

WH Gidden were incorporated by Schnieder several years ago (it is pronounced Schneeder and the owner gets upset by any other variation). It can be quite a tricky place to find as it does not have a traditional shop front but is based on the first floor of the bulding which makes it tricky for people looking for a shop window full of tack. There is a paucity of good shops selling riding equipment and clothing in Central London. Other than Mr Fayed's corner shop the only other place I know with a decent range is Swaine Adeney on St James's St located in the basement. For many years they have had a number of concessions running this side of the business but without much success but about two years ago they took it back under their own control.

If polo is your thing then a trip to Smith's Lawn in Windsor should do the trick as the Roxtons-run shop there is very good.

Doesn't Carmina for example make bespoke or MTM equestrian top boots? If they do it will cost a lot less than what the London makers offer. Hermes is meant to do very good equestrian gear as well. RM Williams Australia also make top boots and saddelry for substantially less.
