Description

This is the best-selling model from the MILITARY COLLECTION. It features a distinctive design known as the Puritan Stitch, which uses a rare 3-needle machine, no longer common today, to create three distinct stitch lines on the toe cap and wingtip sections. The heel area proudly displays the iconic Crown Mark, a hallmark of British craftsmanship.

The term "DERBY" refers to "open lacing," and it encompasses shoe designs where the wingtip covers the vamp. The advantage of this design is its ease of wear, as the open lacing allows for easy on and off.

The upper is made of polished leather, which offers a glossy appearance and is resistant to scratches and dirt. It also handles rainy weather relatively well. After brushing, you can maintain its shine by gently rubbing with a soft cloth dampened with a small amount of water. It’s easy maintenance makes it a recommended choice, especially for those new to leather shoes.
