Description

These classic British Chelsea boots, originally worn by officers, have become a favorite among craftsmen and style enthusiasts alike.

The Albert model is an improved version of the previous Hazard model, featuring flatter back pull tabs and an almost level top line to reduce the chances of catching on trouser cuffs. The last has been adjusted to an officer’s last, with a wider forefoot and narrower heel for better stability and a more elegant silhouette.

Vintage Black Leather

This high-quality calfskin leather is made from some of the finest rawhide in the world, produced in the Netherlands, and tanned using an original recipe at a long-established tannery in Himeji. It took over three years of development to produce this product.
The calfskin leather is made from high-quality raw hides and is tanned with tannins and finished with only oil and dyes, allowing you to enjoy beautiful changes over time. The dense texture of the tannin tanning is a sign of high skill.

Normally, chrome tanned and pigment-finished leather provides a uniform finish and stable surface, but it's somewhat inferior in terms of aging. On the other hand, tannin-tanned leather has the characteristic of developing a sheen and retaining wrinkles over time due to the reaction of its components.

Tannin tanning, by its nature, tends to make the leather slightly harder, but here at the tannery's (leather factory's) years of experience and the unique use of water have produced a more flexible tannin-tanned leather. It's a rare and wild type of leather often used for women's shoes.

Additionally, to make the leather age more noticeably with use, the surface is finished only with dyes, which allows cream to penetrate well. With care, the leather darkens and develops a beautiful patina.

Although it is a more labor-intensive tanning method, Brother Bridge decided to produce calf leather with the desire for customers to enjoy the natural changes that this leather undergoes.
