Alex Cognac Calf Wingtip Derby - 675

The Alex is a cognac longwing Derby — the characterful silhouette with warmth turned up. Open laces, a full wingtip, broguing along the seams, in a reddish tan that catches the light and carries it. The upper is top-grade European calfskin, the cognac built up by hand: an artisan burnishes the tone deeper at the toe and heel so it glows and shifts between amber and copper rather than lying flat. Built on the 675 last — almond toe, roomier fit — for comfort that lasts. Made by our artisans in a workshop in Almansa, Goodyear welted one pair at a time. A full leather sole keeps it on the dressier side of casual.

This is the derby for the man who has black and brown covered and wants the one that does something else. Put it under navy or gray and it lifts the outfit; put it under denim on a bright day and it reads easy and warm.

Cognac is the color that changes the temperature of the room. The Alex carries it without effort.
