What this pair is made of

Three builds, one price, all sewn by hand

Lasted by hand on a last worked to your foot, in full-grain cow leather. Choose a build above and it is marked here. The dashed line is the hand stitch.

  • Blake-stitched

    Sewn by hand from inside the shoe, already closed on the last.

    A hand-sewn Blake is normally considered impossible. At this bench, every stitch of it is sewn by hand.

  • Hand-welted

    The welt is sewn by hand to a holdfast carved from the insole.

  • Storm welt

    A raised welt is sewn by hand tight against the upper, closing the seam.
