Alden x Leffot Greenwich Boot II

By steven | Published: 2 December 2011

There’s something about Alden and wingtips that is inexplicable. Our Greenwich boots are a favorite among fans of both genres. The newest interpretation is one we think you’re bound to like.

This boot is made on the Barrie last in Burnished Tan calfskin a warm chestnut color that is ultra versatile. To complete the detailing we went with nine brown agatine eyelets, 360-degree pre-stitch reverse welt on double waterlock soles what more can we say?

Just this, in our humble opinion a more wearable boot would be hard to find.

Alden x Leffot Greenwich Boot

By steven | Published: 26 November 2011

Topping off our week of Alden shoes is a new version of our Greenwich boot.

Once again we’ve taken a classic look and added a little roughness. With Alden’s wingtip boot design we’ve utilized reverse chamois leather. Using the backside of this oiled leather reveals a unique, almost sueded texture. Chamois leather is a “fat-liquored” nubuck by Horween, made for increased durability and water resistance. With a commando sole, this is a great boot to liven up those dull winter days on the horizon.

This is a special boot, made expressly by Alden for Leffot.

Alden x Leffot Natural CXL

By steven | Published: 25 November 2011

Alden first introduced us to Horween Natural Chromexcel in January 2010. Since then our Natural Longwing’s and Natural Indy boots have become something of a staple at Leffot and we have received delivery of both models.

Natural CXL is a wonderful leather the color is totally versatile and goes great with denim, or khaki for a perfect casual look. With wear and care it develops a patina that looks lived in and rich and much better with age. Here’s an example of our Natural LWB.

The LWB is on the Barrie last and the Indy is on the Trubalance.

Gary Cooper: Enduring Style

By steven | Published: 14 November 2011

On Tuesday November 15th The Sartorialist is hosting a book signing at Leffot for long-time friend and Sartorialist contributor G. Bruce Boyer. It will be the first place the book is available anywhere.

The book is entitled Gary Cooper: Enduring Style and features family snapshots of the Cooper clan. The intimate, relaxed quality of the images (shot mainly by his wife Rocky) is very charming and most have never been seen or published before.

It’s a wonderful book for men looking for old school style inspiration, fans of vintage photography and Old Hollywood glamor and great for women looking for a gift for their man.
