Ashford Cognac Cap Toe Oxford - 675

Cognac is brown with the light let in. The Ashford in cognac is a cap toe oxford in a warm, reddish tan that lifts a navy or grey suit and comes into its own under sun — clean closed lacing, one seam across the toe, a colour with real warmth. Formal, but never heavy.

Full-grain European calfskin, and the cognac is built by hand: an artisan burnishes the tone deeper at the toe and heel so it glows and shifts rather than lying flat. That hand-laid depth is what makes a cognac shoe worth owning. Goodyear welted, resoleable, made to last.

On the 675 last — almond toe, roomier fit — it sits easy on the foot through long days. The full leather sole keeps it dressy: slim, classic, built to be resoled and kept.

For lighter suits, warmer months, and the days when a shoe should have some warmth in it. Cognac is the brown that catches the light — and the eye.
