Our premium, whole cut formal shoe from our artisan factory in Italy. A whole cut uses one large piece of leather from the prime cut of the hide, with only one seam at the heel. This is an idea construction for our elegant, patent leather dress shoe, producing a beautifully clean, smooth aesthetic finished with a neatly piped topline. The upper is fully lined in calf leather with a leather insock and additional padded leather heel. We’ve chosen 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.
