Museum Cognac Cap Toe Oxford with Rubber Half Soles

The Richard is a cognac cap-toe Oxford in Italian Museum calfskin from Ilcea, here on a sole that handles the street. Hand-painted and antiqued so the cognac shifts between amber and deep gold across the upper — a finish built by hand, unrepeatable at any retail price. Closed lacing, on the generous City last. Goodyear welted by hand. Beneath the leather sits a discreet high-density rubber half-sole: the depth and movement of the Museum cognac stays fully intact while you gain grip on wet ground and a sole that wears slower.

The Museum Richard in any weather. The antiqued cognac up top, quiet grip below — the formal shoe that earns its Italian tannery and still makes it to the next meeting.

The Ilcea finish, set up for real days.
