From the brand: The James is built on the
W2298 last
, our classic city profile that provides a close, tailored fit through the waist and heel. It is distinguished by a prominent hand-stitched apron and a unique split-toe seam, giving the loafer a refined, architectural character. The
Burgundy Burnished
leather adds a layer of depth, with the darker tones at the seams and toe-box highlighting the artisan craftsmanship involved in every pair.
Burgundy Burnished Leather: Artisan Depth
Our burnished leathers are hand-finished to create a deep, lustrous patina that is unique to each pair.
Deep Tonal Variety:
The burgundy hue features rich, wine-coloured undertones that have been darkened at the edges to provide a classic "antique" look.
High-Shine Finish:
The leather is polished to a fine sheen, making it an ideal companion for sharp tailoring or formal evening attire.
Durable Elegance:
Despite its refined appearance, the premium calf leather is robust and will continue to develop more character and depth with regular polishing.
Technical Build: The Traditional Foundation
This edition of the James is grounded by a traditional sole unit for a more streamlined look.
Single Leather Sole:
The use of a single leather sole maintains the loafer’s slim profile, offering a light feel and a flexible step that becomes increasingly comfortable as it breaks in.
Stacked Leather Heel:
Features a traditional stacked leather heel with a rubber quarter-tip for added durability and grip.
Goodyear Welted:
Fully Goodyear welted in our Northampton factory, ensuring a watertight bond and a shoe that is built to be resoled for decades.
