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.
