Alden Color 8 Cordovan

By steven | Published: 1 June 2012

We’ve recently received new stock in two of the most classic Alden cordovan shoes, the plain toe blucher and the leisure handsewn loafer.

Both are excellent entryways into the world of Alden shoes as well as perfect staple shoes for everyday use. Color 8 is Horween’s most popular and most versatile cordovan color, pairing well with almost any color and texture.

Shell cordovan leather is known for its low maintenance and durability, so both of these shoes can literally serve you for decades. Cordovan is a supple leather with a memory that responds to use, so the shoes will only get more comfortable and better looking with age.

We are stocking a limited number of Satan in Bergeronette, a rich caramel brown ideal with grey’s, blue’s, and brown’s and as always a pair of dark denim jeans.

Edward Green Cherwell Chukka

By steven | Published: 25 May 2012

Nubuck is suede’s underappreciated cousin. The one difference between them is that suede is created from the inner side of the cowhide, while nubuck is created from the outer. This results in a fine, velvety, soft appearance without the nap of suede. Its a look that’s perfect for spring and summer shoes.

Our new Cherwell chukka boot comes in Sage Nubuck, a wonderfully dynamic and beautiful shade that deserves more attention than it gets. This shoe will be perfect for casual wear: its comfortable and not overly formal, but it will always look great wearing it.

Edward Green MTO

By steven | Published: 24 May 2012

Customization does not have to be complicated. Below are three classic Edward Green styles, made to order for our clients. Each shoe is a relatively simple endeavor made from a single leather.

That being said, each is an example of what a small change can do. By substituting grey suede or a pebble grain for a more standard leather, each shoe has become one of a kind.
