Vincent Black Patent - 722

The mirror-gloss wholecut on the sharpest last. The Vincent in black patent on the 722 — one seamless piece of patent calfskin, long and lean with a slight chisel toe, closed lacing — is the evening oxford at its most deliberate. No seam, no detail, nothing between the shoe and the light it reflects.

Patent calfskin carries a lacquered high-shine surface that doesn't burnish and doesn't age in the conventional sense — it glows, hard and clean, every time it's polished. On the 722 last, a slight chisel toe and a long, stylized line make the shoe read contemporary beside the dinner jacket. Goodyear welted by our artisans, built to last well beyond the occasion it's worn for.

For black tie, for formal dinners, for the man who wants his evening shoe to be as considered as his tailoring. The 722 gives the patent Vincent an edge that the rounder 675 doesn't — for the evening, that edge is exactly right.
