Brown Chukka - 675

The Chukka is a brown chukka boot — the boot that disappears into every outfit and makes all of them better. Two eyelets, open lacing, a clean ankle-height line in a warm mid-brown. The upper is top-grade European calfskin, the brown burnished by hand at the toe and heel so the color shifts between chestnut and tobacco in the light. It's built on the 675 last — an almond toe with a slightly roomier fit. Made by our artisans in a workshop in Almansa, Goodyear welted by hand. A full leather sole keeps it light and slim.

Wear it with denim, with chinos, with a jacket and trousers — it works every time without discussion. There's a specific relief in owning something this versatile: you stop looking for an alternative because you're already wearing the answer.
