Our new premium, whole cut formal shoe from our artisan factory in Italy. A whole cut uses one large piece of leather from the prime cut of the hide. For detail we’ve added a laser cut row across the toe and around the lace stay, forming an oxford toecap design. The calf leather is finished in a dark tan; layer after layer of dye is applied by hand to create a real depth of colour, and then meticulously polished and antique finished, again, by hand. The upper has a piped topline and is fully lined in calf leather. We’ve chosen a slightly squared last to complement the clean styling and Blake stitched the upper to a leather sole with a closed channel to conceal the stitch.
