Mohammad Ali Jinnah was a man who enjoyed the finer things in life — a fact reflected in his impeccable fashion sense. According to Qaid-e-Azam Jinnah As I Knew Him by M. A. H. Ispahani “when he first cast eyes on Mr Jinnah at Cambridge in 1920 ... he was immaculately and fashionably attired.”

That he was always dressed immaculately was also reflected in the type of footwear that he wore at the time. The five-button pair of elegant footwear is currently housed on the second floor of Wazir Mansion in Kharadar. One can also view a pair of lace-up and brown suede shoes.
