Premium, whole cut formal shoe from an artisan factory in Italy. A whole cut uses one large piece of leather from the prime cut of the hide. For detail, a laser cut row has been added 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. Finished with 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.
