Derby Brogue
The Story: Hand-brogued Derby
Details:
Classic English Derby Brogue. The Blake Rapid construction of the sole adds weight to this design, a sturdy looking English style. This style has been a staple of a well-to-do professional gentleman for more than 100 years. A classic style that will last aesthetically as well as physically.
Style: Derby Brogue
Upper: Polished full grain yearling, bovine or kangaroo leather, English Calf lining
Sole: 5mm Italian oak tanned, Blake Stitch or Blake Rapid stitched leather sole. Stacked leather heel, Vibram top piece.
Upper options: Prices will vary depending on leather chosen and sole. Kangaroo leather has more texture and markings, the skin is strong, but it’s also very fine in thickness. The veg-tan roo also is a dry leather and thus high maintenance in that it needs regular conditioning to avoid it drying out. Yearling has similar body to bovine leather, but has a smoother grain and a more polished finish. It is also more readily dyed. Yearling and bovine are our preferred choices for regular wear. Baby calf leather is like the cashmere of leather and the choice for high gloss potential, formal occasions and infrequent wear. Bovine is a great choice for regular wear.
