Our Spring Summer Collection features timeless classics like Brogues, Oxfords, Derby Shoes and Boat Shoes, all expertly designed and crafted in England with over 140 years of shoemaking experience. At our Northamptonshire shoe factory we take pride in using traditional techniques and skilled craftsmen to create long-lasting quality shoes. Each shoe in our collection has a rich history and unique design, making it a perfect addition to any wardrobe.
Our Wye, Liffey, Tyne, Cherwell and Trent styles have been made from unfinished European crust leather. The leather arrives to us as a blank canvas so that we can create a unique shade - this is done by staining the unfinished leather with a light base coat. After this we then apply the dark stain by hand using a brush stroke motion to create a stunning antique wooden effect. The hand brush work allows each pair of shoes to have their own individual character.
Within every gentleman’s wardrobe, certain essentials are seen as the foundations of dressing and offer timeless style no matter the occasion. Wardrobe essentials include a white t-shirt, the classic navy suit, smart dress shirts, a full purpose hoody and raw selvedge denim jeans.
Investing in a pair of Goodyear-welted shoes is a decision that guarantees longevity, comfort and the ability to repair in years to come but which style to choose is a difficult choice. To achieve a prolonged lifespan of your handmade men’s shoes it’s highly recommended to alternative wearing them to give your shoes or boots ample time to dry and maintain their shape.
