Chris Black Calf Single Monk - 675

The single monk strap is the quiet rebel of formal footwear — no laces, one buckle, and just enough character to set a man apart without a word. The Chris is its sharpest read in black: a clean wingtip sweeping back along the sides, brogued at the seams, with the toe left smooth — detail where it earns its place, restraint where it counts. Fastened by a single buckle, it sits a notch more distinctive than an Oxford and reads every bit as correct.

The upper is full-grain European calfskin, a black box calf finished clean for a deep, even shine that holds up under any light. It's built on the 675 last — an almond toe with a slightly deeper, roomier fit, so the shoe settles on the foot and stays comfortable through the longest days. Goodyear welted by our artisans, with a full leather sole at its dressiest: slim underfoot, classic, built to be resoled and kept for years.

This is the shoe for the man who has the Oxford covered and wants the one that gets noticed — the meeting where someone glances down, the dinner where the detail registers. Black, brogued, buckled. The Oxford is expected. The Chris is chosen.
